she is about 3 years old, very active and usually healthy. I did see a very small, tiny egg in the coop this week.

Yes, Epson salt bath. I have not seen her eat today and when I gave the other hens a little snack this evening she did not come out of the coop, which is very irregular. The girls love their evening free ranging. The fluid encompasses her entire chest.

I noticed my Barred Rock was nesting in the hen house not acting all together as usual this morning, this after noon she is not interacting with the flock . I picked her up to check her out and her chest feels like there is fluid, like a water balloon. I have her sequestered now. I gave her a...

Kept Road Runner in today, her feather are literally falling out, she fluffed up and shook - about 2 or 3 feathers just came flying out. There are 10 to 15 lying around the temp cage floor today. She has not been interested in taking in fluids for awhile She eats I just don't see her drink. I...

Interesting enough my "bully" bird was quite bullied herself in our first flock, she is the second smallest among them all but she is at the top of the pecking order now. She is a Red Sex link and a super layer, When we added the second flock, with the Polish, she was the more aggressive one...

I have a buff polish, she has had a few ruff weeks, infection, taking antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds I have been giving her some extreme TLC, bringing her in in the morning giving her, her own feeding time and then meds same with n the evening. She is the lowest hen on the 7 hen pecking...

Love your post, my husband would have titled it the same way! We have 2 sets of "flocks" The first set (of 4) started laying right at 20 wks, one started and then the rest fell in suite with in about 1-2 weeks-we were spoiled. The next flock we have started laying around 24-30 wks much later...

THANK YOU !!! I did feel a bit overlooked, but maybe no one has every seen this before. I TOOK HER TO THE VET and boy that was a nice bill, but she is a sweet chicken and deserves at least a good shot at getting well. He took x-rays and blood work. Her White Blood Cell count was HIGH, her...

My Buff Polish spent 4 hours today in the hen house, which is very unusual for her-mostly she is a very feisty active girl. She seemed to be hiding out I think, she is not typically a broody girl either, but she was sitting on the eggs.. I actually encouraged her to get out of the house...and...

I have a RED Sex Link, I know you said no hybrids but she is a consistent large egg super layer, started at 20 wks to the day and has not miss but maybe 2-3 days in a year and did not miss a day laying all through the winter. Goldie is friendly-lets us pick her up and likes to be...

Did you add the cat food to your feed or just give a hand full a couple of time a week? I thinking these girls are such good layers they just want more protein

We have a 200 sq foot coop with 7 hens, 1 Sex link (the one whose bottom is plucked the worse and also the one who is plucking her own bottom) 1 Polish, second worse bottom, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Silver laced Wyanadotte, 1 Jersey Giant and 1 Lavender Orpington. They get free rage time 1-2 times a...

I put her in the coop for a few hours with the other hens and she immediately submerged herself in a dust bath so much for my clean bottom on her, she does not like the blue goo. I heard there was a spray you can use that stops feather pecking, it smells and tastes really bad, any one heard of...

PIC of Blue goo and Feed

Hello, I thought my hens had mites, but no mites, no lice, just a lot of feather loss around the backside of 1 particular hen so we removed her from the coop and began treating her; I gave her a soothing warm bath and then applied hen healer this blue goo to her backside and have applied it...

Our Lavender Orpington was a beautiful chick!!

I have a Red Sex link that lays an egg very similar to yours (pics attached), she always has-I don't think I ever thought it was too off from the norm just how she lays them, she lays everyday since she was 20 wks-maybe missed a few days at the beginning but not many. I'm not sure the egg shape...
