I gave her a bath and discovered that her neck is completedl exposed on the back. You can actually see all the discs under her feathers. She keeps stretching out her neck and now I see why. I can't believe she can live like this. Ever seen this?

I gave my chicken a bath and noticed to my shock that her neck.spinal cord is completely exposed. I would not have noticed this until I bathed her and exposed this under her feathers. She keeps jutting her head forward and this must be the reason. I assume she is going to die very shortly...

I have one sick chicken. She is a 2 year old white leghorn. She stopped laying some time ago but seemed healthy all along. Now her comb is darker and flopped over and she keeps opening her beak and shaking her head and neck. She also is seperating herself from the other chickens now. I have...

Her butt is also swolen. Could this be a result of the pecking?

I isolated one of my hens because her rear end was red and inflamed and the rest of the flock was pecking her raw. She is resting now and has recently pooped, which I thought was a good sign, in case she was backed up with poop or an egg. She does not seem to be in distress, but previously was...

I am having the same exact issue. A red sore looking butt with no feathers. she also seems to be straining to lay. Have you noticed this as well?

It was hard to get a picture, but when I went out and tried to take one, I noticed the other chickens pecking at her. I am now thinking this is probably the major issue, so I have seperated her to let her get a rest and heal up. She has been trying to keep away from the rest of the flock and...

I have a one year old hen that has an inflamed and red rectum. I noticed this yesterday as it was really bright red. She is still hanging with the other hens and is not lethargic, but she appears to be acting a little abnormal. It must hurt. The feathers around the rectum are missing as...

I wash all my eggs in cold water only and put them in the fridge. If it is going in my fridge, and I am going to be eating it later, I really don't want chicken poop on it.

I have the same situation here in Minnesota. We have a 2 story wood playhouse and no kids. I was thinking of making the bottom into a coop. Right now I have one of those A-Frame moveable coops, which works great, but with 8 hens it is a bit snug. I like your idea and plan to do something...

I live in Minnesota also. This is my first year with chickens and mine seem fine. The weather did get cold really quickly and we had ice, so not sure if your hens got wet or chilled suddenly, which I am told is bad. I have just recently covered their ourside run wtih clear plastic and plugged...
