    Sunkist the hen

    Hello, I had a strange thing happen to one of my hens. A few days ago on Saturday, my hen, Sunkist, laid a beautiful egg. She was then free ranging with her flock mates. All was fine. Then I noticed her stumbling like she was drunk /dizzy. I went to my computer and read that they can become...

    My Hen

    Hi, thank you for your response. I do have a group of eggs in her nesting box but she doesn't seem interested. As for as buying more chicks, I'm not there yet. I just thought if the hen wanted to raise a few then at that point I'd do what was necessary. Oh, and btw, I did purchase 10 chicks...

    My Hen

    Comment by 'Nanamoma' in article 'Humane Euthanasia: When, Why, and How'

    Have you tried splinting her leg? One of my ladies broke her leg below the elbow. I splinted it and wrapped it with vet tape and within a month she was walking around on it again. It had calcified at the break and I was thrilled. This article is very informative on broken bones of chickens or...

    Crooked Toes

    I have a chick-5 weeks old with crooked toes. I have read that it's possible to straighten them with vet tape and maybe a straw or toothpick etc to straighten the toes. My husband and I have tried on a couple of occasions to do this, but was not successful. Her toes do not seem to affect her...

    Chicken Behavior

    Hello, my oldest ISA Brown just passed sometime Friday evening into Saturday morning. When I got to the coop she was expired. She was pretty old for an ISA brown and my last living of 8 that I got several years ago. She'd been going down for a couple weeks so I did what I could to make her...

    Polish Rooster

    Thank you for your response. The other rooster is quite docile right now, actually the Polish is more the alpha in this group, however the weather is very hot here in south Alabama. He did come on down a couple of hours after this post so I agree with you, he must have just needed to chill a...

    Polish Rooster

    Hello, I'm new to this forum and so glad it's here to ask chicken questions of you all. I have a 18 week old Polish rooster. He went back up on the perch this morning after coming down to get a bit of scratch food. I've not seen him do this before. He appears healthy otherwise. Do any of...
