Thanks, the vet also agreed it was time for the horrid end to be kind, she now helps to grow a blueberry bush that will produce berries in her honor.

Thank you so much for your in-dept information regarding my girl. I had a good read of the web site you suggested and have decided not to let her suffer in-case she is in pain. As a human when we have infection it usually means we have pain somewhere so working on that principle I have booked...

Her comb in bent over and her under belly between her two legs is very swollen, so much as she has to swing her legs to walk. She has a large crop and is eating well. She has had a lash egg in the past and I took her to the vet and she was given antibiotics. She has always done a very running...

I took her to the vet today and she is on antibiotics for a week. Thanks for your help to solve my problem.

Thanks for reply, I knew one of you clever bird lovers would know the answer.

Hi Guys and Girls What is this in the attached photos? My girl has not laid for a long time and then I found this in the nest.

Yes tonight it was way larger than yesterday. Thanks for your concern. I will continue to monitor her.

Thanks for all your help. I feed her again tonight by herself and put a separte container in the pen with them of food. She is looking a lot happier today. I cleaned out their hatch and sprayed it for mites and remade their beds (nesting box) so hopefully things will only get better. Thanks once...

:weeThanks

Hi Thank you all for making me welcome. Red Shavers (I live in New Zealand) are our number 1 chicken used commercially due to their large amount of eggs they lay. Here is a pic of what they look like. They are busy having leftover yoghurt. Thanks

Thank you for your reply. I took advice yesterday about her being bullied and today I fed her separately and she has had a good handful of pellets and pecking on the sweetcorn. I will let the other one out when she has finished.:)

Very interesting, I will take all this advice on board and hopefully can sort this with all of your great help. Many Thanks

Yes are are right to some extent, she is the bullied one, but why has she just developed not eating when they are been together for 3.5 years. I will start feeding her by herself and watching how much she is eating. Thanks for your help

Thanks for that, I will try that.:thumbsup

Thank you

My chicken hasn't been itself lately, Tonight I noticed that her crop was empty, Does this mean she hasn't been eating? The other one's crop was large and hard. I have noticed last 3 nights she hasn't been eating the pellets so tonight I left her on her own and hand feed her, she has a few but...

I only have 2 chickens because that's all I need and all my space can allow. They are Red Shavers, great mates and very clever. They have me well trained and know that when I go to the garden it means they get something green to eat. They hear me coming down the stairs and are at the fence...
