    Egg bound? Feel egg but pooping

    She's slightly better. I had decided to cull her then that night she started parking up a bit, walking around and interested in her food, etc. The egg feels like it has moved a bit, but I'm still not sure she will make it. I will give her some more calcium. She's my best little fluffy butt so I...

    Egg bound? Feel egg but pooping

    I have a 1 year old silkie. She wasn't herself Friday and I noticed an egg up in her abdomen and brought her in. After a warm soak she passed a yolk but I could still feel a hard mass up high. I gloved, lubed, and it feels like a large egg very high up, I can feel tissue over it so am unable to...

    Sick hen, when to cull

    You aren't answering my question at all. My state is irrelevant. I'm basically asking for support over losing a pet and you want to go on a spill about antibiotics and superbugs?

    Sick hen, when to cull

    I can't say for sure what she has but I was afraid for maybe egg yolk peritonitis so I tried the only antibiotics I have.

    Sick hen, when to cull

    I have a sick 4ish year old EE that I have been treating for 3 days. I'm sure it's time to cull her but I'm struggling with the decision. She's my favorite and the head hen. I noticed over the past couple weeks that she was laying less but I thought it was her age. Then a few days ago she...

    Crowing and odd eggs

    What about the crowing as well? I think just either crowing or odd eggs alone wouldn't worry me, but with both.....

    Crowing and odd eggs

    No rooster. They eat a mix of tucker mills and kalmbach layer feed, same feed since they've been grown.

    Crowing and odd eggs

    I have a ~3 year old EE that I has recently crowed a few times. The past couple weeks she is laying less, and her last 2 eggs were not normal. A fairy egg, then a shell-less egg. Do I need to worry?😔 I'm afraid she has a reproductive disease.

    When to treat a sneeze?

    I have a hen that has been sneezing a bit more than usual for maybe 2 weeks? Otherwise she is fine. Acts well,eats and drinks. No other symptoms such as runny nose, eye bubble, cough or wheezing. I do have some antibiotics somewhere, but I don't want to give them unless she really needs them...

    How broody to add day old chicks?

    I have a BO that has been semi broody all spring-fussy, puffed up all day, low cluck. She is 1. This past week or so she has increased her broodiness it seems and is on the nest most of the day unless I move her (even when i put her out she sits on the ground puffed up and mad). I am considering...

    Chicken poo/compost tea in the garden

    Thanks! My plants are still small-like 6 inches tall, should I let them start to fruit first? I'm so afraid of burning them. How often should I use it vs just watering them?

    2 eggs within 2 hours-pic

    So just some helpful info, I only have 4 girls so I know them pretty well. Little bit was in the nest earlier. I come out to give treats and she doesn't look right. I grab her and she lays the small egg as I hold her. Back to acting herself. I check the box and she had also laid the other...

    Broody behavior in "sisters" ? ?

    This was from when they first started laying, I took her to see her sister since she was freaking out. Yes they can go any time but ya know, tiny brains 😆They can't hatch the eggs they aren't fertile.
