I have heard bread is okay but not too much of it but I do not know why not. My hen seems well in herself but there is a huge bulge under her vent which is not normal. I have had egg bound hens before but not like this one. They were actually looking ill and had a messy bottom she is not...
This is a hen I rescued and got really well from having worms. She looks really well now and has all her feathers back now. She has never laid but I have noticed she has been tring in the nest box. I have left her to it but today decided to have a look underneath her and she has a really...
This looks like part (the white bit)of what came out of my hen which I done a thread on.
I was advised it was internal laying. My hen started laying about 3-4 days later so give her time as she may have more to pass through as yet. It is good it is coming out. Good luck.
At a guess I would not like to say but she does look like she is standing up more proud and dominant than the other 2 in the picture and the tail feather look like they are going to be a nice display.
I have an odd ball too and she/he does cocker doodle doo sometimes and does not lay. But I...
Oh my How on earth do they manage with that all inside for days or months. My lady is now laying again which is good she seems okay apart from her feathers seem a bit scraggy and she sometimes stands with her wings lifted up.
I had 24 ladies but found I did not have enough time so I let...
Blimey, yukk! Poor chickens.
I have found something else this morning a egg that has not formed properly and looks like the inners have been sucked out and is quite solid. It reminds me of a dried prune. I am pretty sure it was from her as it came from where she sleeps. Perhaps things will...
That sounds more like it layer after layer of actual cooked meat/fat/egg. Worried about the fatty tube that was coming out of it though as I would have thought that was probably connected to something else which was feeding this thing. Thanks guys.
Alien or what!!!
She is still okay any...
She seems to be okay but not laying at the moment. When I seperated her she was in a large cage (small wire meshed) so nothing could have gotton in with her.
I would like to point out that there was no blood on this even when I cut it open..
I am now thinking it is some kind of growth but I...
Here guy's I have done it reluctantly
What the hell is this?
I have put a golf tee next to it to show the size.
That is is now I am putting it in the bin for good,bye bye grossness.
Does this look like an ovary to you? I would say no????
Thank you for your replies. My hen is about 2 half years old (hybrid type). I will keep an eye on her and see what happens. Sorry about the gross picture but I could not believe it. Not sure about cutting it in half to look at the contents Catstar68 don't know if my stomach would take...
Hi,
My chicken has not been laying for a few days and I noticed the other chickens where after her bum they pecked her and made her bleed. So I grabbed her and put her by herself to rest. I thought she was egg bound which I can usually sort out but having gone to her nest box today there...
