    Abandoned hen with eye condition

    My daughter recently bought me 4 hens that had been abandoned in her neighborhood. They been fending for themselves for about 6 months now.

    Very pinkish hen

    One of my hens is very, very pink. I don't know what her breed is and I know pink waddles and combs usually just mean that she's not laying. I think she is 2 years old and it's just gotten cold, like 40 degrees. I live in Alaska. I have been observing her and she looks normal and is eating, dust...

    Eye Infection / drainage

    This is a rescue hen. She is a Brahma, renamed Earnestine. She was found wild in the woods. Had been there for weeks and was a nuisance to the neighbors, so she was bought to me. She’s got what looks like a very resistant eye infection with drainage. I’ve treated and cleaned the eye every day...

    Females??

    These chicks were given to me by a teacher. I assume they are all females. Two were very fast featherers and one ( light brown) has a very prominent pinkish comb and waddles for a 3 week old, and that was throwing me off and the other two also have small white combs and waddles ( also 3 week...

    Update: It was an impacted crop. All healed! Is this an abscess? Pecking injury in 2 day old chick.

    My hen only hatched out 1 chick. I think she may have killed 2 chicks accidentally trying to help them peck out. I called a friend who sells chicks and she said she’d bring me one 2 day old chick. While waiting for that chick another chick hatched - day 25. I introduced the new 2 day old chick...

    Chicks Day 23, one egg piped and halfway zip- 2 days later still alive with yolk and blood

    Thank you. I have been. I lost 3 to the heater fiasco but 5 are still alive and I heard pecking last night so that’s a good sign. I am going to write a very strongly worded letter to this incubator company. My husband said I looked so frazzled and panicky yesterday. I literally did nothing but...

    Chicks Day 23, one egg piped and halfway zip- 2 days later still alive with yolk and blood

    I found out what was going on. My temperature/heater is not working correctly on this incubator and is giving me false readings. I have now inserted into the incubator my husband's multimeter which is reading all over the place and our barbecue grill temperature thermometer which is in the...
