    Hi guys, I have a two year old silkie who has had issues with egg binding for quite a while.

This time she was obviously in distress...

    Frequent Egg-bound Hens

    This morning I discovered another egg-bound hen. She was still relatively happy and I think I may have had my very first success in saving one. The one a month ago wasn't so lucky. I think I lost 3 this year. That seems like a lot in a laying flock of about 30. Is it? I don't know what the...
