I have a 2-3 year old EE hen that just went through a pretty hard molt. Her body is now growing in feathers nicely and her neck is going through the process now. Well, lately she has been walking backwards and I was wondering if this could be out of irritation. I started looking into it online...

I think my hen may be dying of peritonitis .... Any way to save her!? I just dosed her with baytril. Can I drain her? Can someone talk me through it please !?

My first hen I ever got, 3 or 4 years old silverlaced wyandotte, I suspect is internally laying. She hasn't laid eggs for awhile and walking funny for maybe a month or 2? At first I thought it was because she was molting but then it turned out to be just a little on her head and last time I...

Does my hen have arthritis? She limps quite a bit and likes to lay down a lot. When she walks, she looks so goofy... either she takes short little strides or almost looks like she is marching. She is about 4 years old and a silver laced wyandotte. I read around on here and saw it usually...

I got her when she was maybe 1 years old and I have had her for a year now! She has never, ever laid an egg for me. She does have some masculine features, such as spurs but doesnt crow at all. I think she was one of the top hens at a farm she was at and she is now either the middle or bottom of...

Im to the point where I notice my first little hen, Stephanie, is getting older. She is 4, maybe 5, which when I was reading around.... isn't as old as a lot of hens on here. But she is slowing down on her speed and walking funny like she has arthritis. I just want to be prepared on how to...

I noticed my hen has a TON of broken feathers, maybe at the halfway point, that are broken. They are mostly on her chest and stomach but in other areas as well. She is a SLW so in these are areas, it basically looks like a big patch of grey and fuzziness since they are broken past the "lacy"...

Merry christmas everyone! Just picked up 2 small bags of feed at fleet farm and some of it was caked together and it kind of looks white/fuzzy. Is it mold?

http://www.exoticdvm.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=healx.collection&parentGroup_id=82&productGroup_id=124 Has anyone used this on their chickens for anything? I got a hen with multiple wounds, most are healed up from a dog that was REALLY bad... lucky to be alive for sure. But one i found a week...

Sorry, I had a thread going, but I really could use some answers and maybe no one was looking at my other one. I am starting to get super nervous about her and worried shes not gonna make it. I just want to do everything I can to help her. Quick rundown. Dog attack sunday night. Punctures...

My poor baby hen just got attacked by a dog and I am just fuuuming over it. She's in the middle of a molt and is already stressed out. I haven't had a chance to look her over much because she is soooo stressed and uncoordinated but I did for a decent wound on her back. I don't think it got the...

I feel bad, I was chasing her around and it got caught on something. Its torn off maybe 3/4 of it and it is bleeding a lot. It is on the base of where it just starts to grow. It is definitely going to come off eventually but I pulled on it hoping it would come off and its still on there pretty...

Just helping out a friend! Hopefully the link works!

I was holding my hen and then saw 4 of these nasty things on me! I searched her neck, butt and under wing but didn't see anything. I just got her a few weeks ago and she's pretty wild so its hard to tell if she is acting different. Sorry I couldn't get my phone to focus on them

Little nervous. I got this gal from a farm today to add to my poor little hen who is lonely after losing her friends... they said its a hen butttt now now Im not so sure. It has spurs but maybe just very dominant? Not familiar with the breed at all. Don't laugh at the selfie, haha, just the only...

I have had 4 chickens in 3 years and have lost 3 out of the 4. I take great care of them, built a great coop for them, make it impossible for predators to get them and give them tons of love. Its all I can do but its super frustrating losing them to things beyond my control. 1st one died at...

Long story short, I drove my hen from my parents back to the city where I live to see a vet. She will stay here with me until Thursday. Even though she has a huge tumor, she is completely normal and upbeat. I am very nervous about her making noise while I am working 7-5. Shell be in a 3x3 box...

I noticed blood in my coop yesterday and I feel terrible for not looking at them closer until just now. My bantam cochin hen has larger than a golf ball size lump under her wing and it is scabbed over for the most part. I have no idea what to do! I am at complete loss when it comes to issues...

I made a dirt bath bin for my girls to get us through the winter for them to enjoy. The only kind of peat moss I could find was made by Miracle Gro and is enriched with plant food. Is this safe to put in a bin for them to bath in...

I have had 5 hens throughout my chicken raising, all who hate snow. REFUSE to even look at it, touch it, go outside the coop. If I carry them outside and put them on flattened or light snow, FREAK and run back inside... even with treats outside. I live in Minnesota where there is snow often 8...
