Thank you

Didn't seem like anything was broken, I felt it, nothing on the bottom of her foot that's what I initially thought it was and when I went to clean it there was nothing there. Vet isn't an option, we have put her out of her misery. I couldn't let her suffer anymore and she was just getting worse...

I have a young hen (probably between 6 and 8 months, not sure on exact age) that could stand on one leg, she was still getting around, eating and drinking but I put her in the brooder in my coop so she could rest last Tuesday, I was thinking she may have hurt herself jumping down from the roost...

She's never had a prolapse or any other problems. She's one of the more dominant hens so she's never been pecked at. She'll be 2 in the spring. Her eggs were pretty average, this started after they molted in the fall and she hasn't laid since this started that I know of. - There is an...

My hen has been struggling with this for the last few weeks, she was straining so hard earlier today and nothing was coming out. She keeps getting feces stuck and blocking off her vent. I was able to give her a warm bath earlier and try to remove as much as possible but there was a chunk of poop...

I'll try to get her cleaned up. I feel terrible but she has been like this for more than a few days. She must've been able to poop somewhat because she is showing no signs of being under the weather otherwise. I thought I may loose her after I notice it happened again but she seems normal...

Nova Scotia, we currently have an extreme cold warning with temperatures at -35 C with the windchill. That's what I was thinking when I first noticed because our weather had turned colder, she's the only one.

They are on grower crumble and free choice oyster shells. Not a lot of treats especially this time of year. She seems to be normal otherwise. I'd like to switch them to a whole grain type of feed rather that the pellets but my feed stores (I'm in Nova Scotia - Canada) don't carry them. And...

I have a Hen that I noticed had poop stuck to her feather and blocking her vent. She's been like this for a few weeks. I cleaned her up as soon as I could after seeing it, used warm water to remove all the poop. The vent was raw looking so I put some anitbiotic cream on it and when I let her go...

Chickens have been kept in since and I was waiting for them to come back last night but never saw any. I've gotten complacent since we've never had an issues and now I'm on high alert

We're thinking it may have been coyotes, it looked bigger than a fox to me when I saw it out the window. We hear them here a lot but in my panic it's hard for me to remember details.

Unfortunately not, the one hen was the one I caught it with. We are thinking it may have been coyotes. We have heard them around our property a lot but never had any issues. It dropped her before it ran off. Surprisingly she walked up towards our house and around the back but by the time someone...

Unfortunately we had to put him down, he was barely moving without thrashing and couldn't hold his head up, his neck was limp and I just didn't want him to suffer any longer.

Just had a pretty bad fox attack, still missing two hens and one of my roosters was found in the woods injured. It's his neck, there is a some blood and bruising but no wound that I could find. My initial thought was to put him down but as I carried him around in my arms I wasn't sure what to...

Thank you, I really appreciate this. I didn't realize that was something that could happen.

My Hen who was born in March went Broody. She hatched a tiny chick last week. The chick seemed to be doing great, very active, eating, drinking and everything. I just checked on them this morning and the chick was dead beside Mama sitting on the other eggs. Chick would have been a week old...

Update. I've put her in a small coop that I used for a broody previously (her mom). She seems much more content than she was last night when we moved her. I should've put her in there so she could be alone last night but it wasn't set up for her and it was really late by the time we got out to...

I have a young chicken (born in March) that started laying recently. I noticed that she had been missing every night from the coop and that I hadn't really seen her with the rest of the flock. Long story short I found out where she's been this whole time and she had a nest under some brush in...

Treated the coop, him and the rest of the flock for lice. His eye started looking better. It seemed it was mostly irritated from him scratching. I cleaned around it and applied some antibiotic ointment. His eye seems back to normal. So hopefully that's all it was!

I was having trouble getting the pictures to post. The last picture is from tonight. His eye is more open now I could see tiny yellowish mites/bugs crawling around his eye. I thought it was puss but then it started moving and I got a better look.
