    Adding a hen to a young flock

    Hello! Hopefully somebody will be able to give me some pointers on this. My parents have some hens and one of them gets bullied so often that I have decided to permanently separate her. Last time I tried to incorporate her into the flock, the bullying was so bad they removed half of her comb...

    RIP Nugget

    Just wanted to come somewhere and talk because I'm sad, hah. There is this one hen I've had for nearly three years and I've saved her life many a time. She became my favorite hen! Started chatting with me and would follow me around. Last night was a very long day and I completely forgot to close...

    Chicken Acting Dizzy (ish)

    Update: She is now in the "chicken spa" as I call it. Drinking the Layer Boost like no tomorrow. I'll probably do the sugar water tomorrow, just to give her even more of an extra boost. I'll be sure to pick up some people vitamins to have on hand in the future!

    Chicken Acting Dizzy (ish)

    I'm at Tractor Supply now and am picking up some Layer Boost with Omega 3. Hopefully I'm getting the best one. After reading the back it does seem like the one with the highest amount of vitamin e.

    Chicken Acting Dizzy (ish)

    She is about four years old, no egg issues that I've noticed. After doing more research off of what you said it does indeed seem like vitamin e should help. Where do I get this? 🤔 I do have hydro-hen but that doesn't seem to be what will help most? Thank you so much for your reply and help...

    Chicken Acting Dizzy (ish)

    Good afternoon, I'm having an issue with one of my hens. She is acting kind of off balance and her head is tilting to the right. I was thinking it could be some type of inner ear infection which I have no clue how to treat or maybe it's something else entirely. I've called my local vet and...

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    Another update on Simon, he is alive!! I never did find a bullet wound so I'm gonna guess Simon's wing was shot and he just played dead. Apparently he is very good at it. The other day we had the garbage service come pick up our trash and after a very loud bang, Simon just dropped. I. Kid. You...

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    Another update on Simon. He is still doing well. I wouldn't say better, but he isn't doing worse. I wrapped his wing up and am going to mix some medicine with his water. Was thinking of putting a hen or two in there with him so he isn't so lonely, lol.

    He is still alive! A vet is going to be too expensive for me. So, I'm just making sure he has everything he needs.

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    Giving everyone an update on the rooster, who by the way is called Simon. I decided if he was doing the same today I would take him to the Vet and just see what I could afford to do....he isn't doing well. My stepdad is now traumatized and is unable to finish "the job" and I certainly don't have...

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    None that I can see. I can't even see any blood, it's really weird. Although, I stopped handling him so much in case I would end up making something worse.

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    Yep, he is feeling pretty bad for doing it now. They were going to be meat chickens at first but when that didn't happen I started treating them as pets. So, I'm pretty sad about it. Weird to get so attached to this darn rooster, but I did. Since he is doing the same today, I'm going to call the...

    Sorry it took me so long. Here is a picture of him. He is dragging his wing around and is a little wobbly. Still eating and drinking.

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    That makes perfect sense! Sorry, I googled chicken help and came across this website. First time here. I'll be sure to post pictures in the future for any serious chicken questions.

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    I went out just now to try and take a picture but he ran away and is in his coop. I separated him from everyone else since he is hurt. If he is still doing the same tomorrow I will take a picture and post it.

    My rooster was shot and is still alive...help.

    Looooong story short-ish. My stepdad decided to take care of our overabundant rooster problem. He resorted to the gun method and without telling me, took out four of them. Well, one of them that he shot is one that I wanted to keep, which was pretty unfortunate...I bonded with that darn rooster...
