Hello all,
I have a semi lethargic hen. She sits around and eats very little and drinks very little. She ate some scratch right out of my hand and cat food so I know she has hunger; I also watched her drink water. I though she had mites so I have sprayed her and I do not see any more mites...
Hello all,
This morning I had one of hens pass away. It had to have happened early this morning as I checked on all of them late last night. There are no signs of a predator, she was eating fine (in fact she was first to eat), drinking water fine, walking around and scratching, roosted fine...
I only have two Cream Legbar hens at the moment, but I am very excited for them to lay some bright & beautiful Blue/Green eggs! Does anyone here that is more experienced with this breed know at what age they start to lay?
Definitely need to know if you are giving grit (No oyster shells as some people think that oyster shells = grit) because if not that could be the main problem and an easier fix.
If so, then I would look into a crop bra
Well, it's goo to know there aren't many possibilities of a disease like bumblefoot. She has an appetite (Threw a strawberry and she chased it) so no parasites, poop is normal, hopefully she just sprained it cause she's a big hen and most likely fell off her roost and that's why she was sleeping...
Hello,
Last night I notice my girl was sleeping on the floor rather than on the roost. Today I noticed she was limping. I’ve checked for bumlefoot and any other diseases and can’t really see if anything would be affecting her other than a sprain from jumping/falling off the roost. Any ideas?
