    Mites/ lice?

    Hi all, chicken is a 2 year old rhode island red. We noticed today that she was missing some feathers and that she has scratch marks and irritated skin on her breast/ underside area. She is near the top of the pecking order and has been living with the other chickens for about 6 months now with...

    Egg membrane stuck in vent

    She is eating and drinking normally and I haven't seen any signs of lethargy. The only behavior out of the normal was that she was sitting on the nest- which I assume is because she was trying to push out the remainder egg membrane. I have been giving her extra calcium in the form of oyster...

    Egg membrane stuck in vent

    Hi all, I noticed my chicken sitting on top of an egg white and yolk today and noticed what I believe to be the egg membrane hanging from her vent (picture is attached). I pulled the remainder out of her vent after soaking her in some warm water and was wondering how else I should go about...

There is what I am suspecting is an egg that is right below her vent- could that have been laid internally? I am scared of them breaking because I know it can lead to infection so I am being...

    Egg bound hen refusing to lay eggs?

    I am almost positive it is eggs. Neither of my other Rhode Island Reds have the same lumps. She has 2 of the suspected egg lumps on both sides of her a little past her wing as well as a lump right below her vent. I know that egg binding is fatal in 24-48 hours so I was shocked that she is still...

    Egg bound hen refusing to lay eggs?

    One of my Rhode Island Red chickens has been egg bound for at least 5 days now. I have tried soaking her in warm water with epsom salt, lubricated the outside and inside of her vent with coconut oil, massaged her abdomen for hours at a time, given her calcium supplements (300 mg per day) as well...
