I’ve raised chickens for 20 years and have never seen this before. The egg is soft which I have seen but a cord attached?!! My chickens are 6 months old and have just started laying. Weird!!
I have one hen that limps as if her leg is broken and yawns really big with her beak in the air and another that is limping as if she has a sore leg. Has my roo broken their leg or do they have a vitamin deficiency or is the dreaded Mareks disease? The hens are 6 months old.
My 2 month old chick has hard brown bumpy skin all around vent and on vent and it goes up her breast bone. I gave her a bath soaking the rear. It did not soften. She has diarrhea and is half the size of her siblings. She acts as though she feels bad. Any suggestions would be appreciated to...
