Thanks for your very informative reply, I will check everything tomorrow and keep you posted.

Hi, We have 5 hens. All of them are living happily and they all started laying at the same time. Except one. She's not going well and she never laid a single egg. They are all 31 weeks old Ameraucanas. The problematic hen started ripping off her feathers at the base of her tail about one...

Thanks! We will keep you updated when they start laying :)

Hey! We just got those 3 new hens but we are not 100% sure of the breed. The person told us that it was Ameraucana but wasn't sure. They are not laying yet. Can anyone help us identify them? Thanks!

Hi! Our new Warren started laying a few days ago! Perfect brown eggs! But the problem is since we got her, she is sneezing, coughing and her nose is runny. Some days its worse, some days its better. Its most likely a respiratory infection and we will treat her eventually. So until we treat...

Hi, Same thing happening with one of our chicken. If I treat her, the symptoms will go away? If so, for how long? Do I need to treat her again?

Unfortunately I live in Canada and we don't have access to these antibiotics. I think it must come from a vet...

Hi, Our two birds passed away so we got a new one, 20wk old hen, and put her in a second coop. Her nose is running. She sounds like shes purrings. She also cough alot. She goes outside, eats and drink and her poop is normal. What can we do to stop this "cold"? Can it be dangerous for her...

Thanks for the replies. Found her dead yesterday

Hi! Second thread here! And unfortunately bad news too.. Our 1yo leghorn started showing symptoms of weakness. First thing we noticed is that she is slow and lethargic. Her comb is blacking out and getting darker every day. Her stools are runny. She doesn't eat or drink much. She also won't...

Thanks for your replies. We are getting a few more in the coop, we will avoid red sex links. Are there any other breeds that have similar reproductive issues? Thanks!

It was at the end of the tract, right before the opening! Could not see any more masses or yolks. This thing was at least 5-6 inch in diameter!

Well she is dead. I found her lethargic, not being able to move, decided that it was best to put her down. I opened her and found this bulky, hard mass. Thats what was making her so bloated. There was not really any fluid. Here's a shot of the mass cut in half. What is it?

Yesterday we noticed her breathing was noisy and seemed harder than usual. Today she's sitting in a nest and didn't get out of it. Her belly is quite hard, a bit squishy but definitely hard.

We took the time to examine her. First thing we noticed is her belly- its quite big and seems to be stuffed.

Hello micstrachan, thanks for your reply! Exactly! She sits on the white hen's egg everyday! We will examine her tomorrow. I think if the previous owner was right, she would be a little bit older than a year old. i will check out her abdomen tomorrow. We give them crushed egg shells very...

Hello! Before this winter, we bought two hens. A white one and a brown one. The previous owner said that they were both 8 months old at the time we got them. He also said that all of his chickens (he had a dozen) were laying. As soon as we took them home, the white one started laying about a...
