    I have 4 Easter Egger hens. All are white and all lay light blue eggs except one, she lays olive green eggs. I have to say, I will NEVER get EE again. All 4 that I have are extremely nasty. The one that lays the green eggs, she will act more like a rooster, jumping up and attacking. I always...

    Emergency! Please help!

    Thanks. I have brought her inside for rest in my "hospital playpen". She had not been bullied yet, but she is more lethargic and is not eating or drinking at all now, that I can see. I have given her some water through needless syringe and also some egg yolk with electrolytes but is extremely...

    Hi everyone. I have a true emergency in my flock and not sure what to do. I have a 3 1/2 YO Lavender Orpington hen. She has been fine up until 2 days ago.

    Are my Chickens beyond HELP?

    If two of us go into the chicken yard at the same time, they will attack us both and run back and forth between us to bite. Just the true definition of "little terrors". I have just never seen anything like it in my life. I have tried in the past to separate them away from the flock and in a...

    Are my Chickens beyond HELP?

    I purchased them from Tractor Supply at just 2 days old. I purchased other breeds of birds there and never had a problem with any of them. This was the first ever Easter Eggers. I had heard from many people that had this breed that they are calm birds. But these 4, I just don't know what has...

    Hi Everyone. I am wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if my chickens, and their behavior, is beyond hope, as I am at my wits end. I have had many hens in the past and still a few as of now, who are tame, laid-back (no pun intended), and just sweet as you could want with chickens. No...

    Any help appreciated!

    Thank you so much! I suspected molt, but being so young threw me off. All my other chickens never did first molt until after 1 year old. Thank you again so much. You have eased my mind!!

    Severely Broken Beak

    Hi. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for my chicken. She is a 5 month old Easter Egger and she has broken her beak very bad on, what I believe, the hardware wire that surrounds the chicken yard. I cannot be sure, but I am pinpointing where the blood was in the yard. It is pretty severe...

    Help with Molting

    I forgot to say that my hens are 18 months old. I have also been giving her extra protein in the form of hardboiled egg, tuna and dry grubs. Just a little every day because she really does not eat much. She just walks off balance.

    Help! My Hens are dying

    I will try to get some photos. I gave her a sit bath today, soaking her in epsom salt water. She was so messy in the back although still has brown diarrhea, she did have some poop stuck to her, so I got her all cleaned up today and I started them back on Corid again. They were on the Corid...
