I have a year and a half old bantam hen that’s gone broody a handful of times with confirmed fertile eggs with no luck of them becoming anything. What could the issue be? I’ve never seen an egg that looks even close to being fiable but they have the bullseye in the yoke.
She’s the little white...
Yes, tiagard.
I’m putting the ointment around the eye.
I’ve looked for pus, I’ve pushed around to see if pus would appear, nothing!
No mites.
She’s eating and drinking when she’s outside she just hasn’t been going to the coop for bed the last two nights.

Here are links to my previous post about the same hen. Her eye...
Here are the previous posts regarding my issue. I know some eyes will be rolling out of annoyance but I’m really worried about her and haven’t ever dealt with eye or respiratory issues before.
She can open her eye for very short periods of time. Usually when I approach her. It’s not goopey or...
I have posted about this before but can’t figure out how to embed the post link 🤦♀️ bottom line is she’s getting worse and I don’t know what to do.
HELP!! 3 1/2 yr old But Orpington hen with a swollen eye. It started six days ago when I brought her in to give her something Nutra-Drench cause...
Did you ever use the erythromycin cream for his eye? Wondering because I have a Heb with similar issues and don’t have the terramycin but do have erythromycin 🤔
She has not ever been dewormed. Her abdomen feels normal. I have no clue why she stopped. I have the Buff Orpingtons that don’t lay 🤷♀️ I figured it was the heat, then the molting, now the shorter daylight but I’m not sure that’s it cause I have one bantam hen that lays without a problem. I’ll...
Her crop feels pretty flat first thing. She hasn’t laid an egg in months!! I have three Buff Orpingtons, all the same age, and none of them have laid an egg in several months!!! I’ll do the eye rinse and neosporin in the morning. Thanks 👍
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
3 yr old Buff Orpington about 3lbs(ish) feels the same
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She started sleeping outside about two days ago. I had noticed that she was slower than normal about...
I have a 3.5 year old Buff Orpington that started sleeping outside about two days ago. I’d noticed that she was slower than normal about a week ago and she wasn’t eating the treats I was giving. She’s always been my picky one so I didn’t think anything of it till I saw her sleeping outside...
Her droppings are more runny than normal. I have bantam roosters that may have caused it by gang-banging her. She tends to get into tight spots when they get her 😕
I gave her some eggs and vitamin b complex.
Sigh! I've seen this before and I don't want it to be true.
She was fine yesterday but this morning I went out to check on my flock around 8:45am and found her laying down. She did get up as soon as I came out. She ate some treats but laid down shortly after. She's been laying down in random...
What is her diet?
She is free range with fermented food in the morning and pellet food whenever she wants. The flock mainly eats bugs, dirt, grass (what little there is lol)
Type of feed?
NatureWise layer feed from Tractor Supply.
What's the mix of fermented food?
Scratch grains from...
My two year old Buff Orpington been has been deep sleeping several times throughout the day for three days now. She is still laying, laid one yesterday and the day before. She's drinking and eating some. But every time I go outside, she's passed out with her head in her wing. She doesn't wake...
Type of feed?
NatureWise layer feed from Tractor Supply.
What's the mix?
Scratch grains from Tractor Supply, black sunflower seeds, crushed red pepper, cinnamon, oregano, rosemary, DE. I mix it all up, and let it ferment in hard for 24-48 hours.
Their treats consist of kitchen scraps, meal...
Did you deworm your chickens recently?
I have not dewormed them.
Check for mites and lice too.
No mites or lice.
If you feel a lump in her belly, it could be egg bound, tumor, or water belly. Is it hard or squishy?
It's not super squishy but it's not hard either.
Did you get new...
