Her very back end is squishy. They get egg shells and oyster shells, plus green grass and soldier fly larvae. What calcium supplements do you recommend?

She just pooped what looks exactly like egg whites, but very bad smelling.

I have 4 hens including this hen and 4 babies three months old. I give them soaked grain (barley and wheat) with yogurt and an organic mash from Montana Eden Feeds Co. I also give them sunflower seeds. I have a large amish built coop, a 12x12 ' run and they free range on 1 acre of grass.

I'll try to attach the picture again here. Im giving her Epsom salt baths and her poop is a bit watery with some normal solids. I dont see any mites. I've dusted her with diatomaceous earth multiple times. Her breathing is not labored, she is very large tho, her breed is Jersey Giant. She has...

She does not have water belly..

Here is a picture.

My hen's bottom (not near her vent) is red and the skin is slightly swollen. She is not laying and she's been separated from the flock for 3 days. She's not eating and depressed. The only thing that helps is an Epsom salt bath. The redness temporarily goes away, then comes back in a few hours...

Did you figure this out? I have a hen with something similar.. red, slightly swollen skin on the butt and a loss of feathers. She now is lethargic and losing weight. I've tried oregano internally. I've tried topical skin creams as well. I don't know what else to try.

I'm so glad she is getting better!

I dont like to give up on mine! Emulsified oregano can do wonders, it's antibiotic, antiparasitic.. it is great with sour crop and many other ailments. I also give warm baths with lots of Epsom salts. You might separate her - I use an extra large dog crate with some clean straw. Biotics...

Hi from Montana, I got 7 chicks back in 2020 and love my girls! People are shocked when they see how friendly they are. They love to sit on my lap, get butt rubs and follow me everhwhere. I've even brought a chicken to a video meeting! I have all girls, no roosters. Montana can be a...

I could divide my enclosure, but it would make it really small.. and since the one hen is taking care of all 6, I thought it would be better to try to take the biting hen out. Can one hen raise all 6 by herself? I took the biting hen out and it's been about 2 hours and if course she still...

I got fertilized eggs from a neighbor and 2 of my hens hatched 6 chicks. I put them in separate enclosure, but one hen (Betty) is biting one of the chicks that is a different color from all the others and causing a bit of mayhem. It looks like the other hen could take care of all 6 just fine...
