    Jersey giant & egg binding

    We just lost a 8 month old jersey giant hen 🙁 she was egg bound and didn’t make it. As I was trying to help her, I noticed that her vent was abnormally small. Smaller than what our bantam silkie has! It was actually hard to even find under her feathers. I’ve never seen anything like it and it is...

    Egg bound? Young hen with a hard lump on her underside

    I have a hen who’s been getting progressively unbalanced over the last couple days. She got more nervous and sensitive to touch, hid in their trailer all day from the rooster (who she usually isn't bothered by), and last night i found her sleeping on the floor. Her right leg wasn’t holding much...

    Reintroducing a chicken with prolapsed vent to flock

    hello - 20 days ago I discovered my buff Orpington egg bound with a severely prolapsed vent. 13 days later, the prolapse finally reversed. She has been in my house being given medicine and extra care. I am in mass and things are getting colder. About 10 days in (still prolapsed) I let her out...

    Deworm sick hen in what order?

    This morning when I let my chickens out I noticed my 2 year old SLW Daily’s comb and face had become pale overnight. She usually looks more like this: She didn’t want to go out into the yard. I really haven’t noticed her molting much like the other hens but her egg production is down this...

    Egg Bound After 1st Egg?

    Hello, Last night we took a few of our girls to a pen in the basement to give them a reprieve from the heat.

    Egg Stuck...

    One of my hens, RubyRuberton, has had egg binding for about a week now. Her vent seems to have a bulge so that's good I think as she's managed to move it slightly. I have given her Tums bits, Salt Bath, Secluded and given Electrolytes to her water. She wants to be active and is still eating well...

Yesterday morning I went out to check on her, and noticed that her lower abdomen (between her legs and vent) was really swollen, and it felt like she had an egg in there.
