    Matching eggs to the right hen, and potential egg bound issue?

    Hello chicken friends! I'd love to get some opinions on matching the eggs I'm getting from my hens with which hen is laying them. My research seems to think all my breeds lay some kind of brown egg, but we get green eggs most days as well and I'm not sure which hen it's from! My three hens as...

    Water Belly?

    My father brought home new hens and this one has a descended belly that's soft, she lays on her side a lot but does walk and eat. She also has a wheeze to her breathing. I had a hen with water belly before but it hung more front than back like this one. Does she have water belly? Wondering if I...

    Bird in nesting box at nightfall

    One of my four almost-year-old hens was in the nesting box just now (twilight) when I went to shut them in for the night. This is highly unusual behavior for her -- she's always down with the others at this time, eagerly waiting for scratch. She looked alert, but quite puffed up in the nesting...

    Old hen laid first time in a year. Now butt bleeding.

    My old Americauna hen stopped laying a year ago. No problem. She is a pet. Today she laid a beautiful green egg again, but it was bloody along with her butt. I cleaned her butt. Husband went to see her an hour later and she was fine. I'm thinking she may have been egg bound or prolapsed. She's...

    Egg Bound? Please Help!

    I have an Ameraucana who just got over her mites about a month ago. After she was better she started molting so she stopped laying. Now she is done molting and went in to lay an egg yesterday but I never found one. She keeps going back into the nesting box but still hasn't laid an egg. She is...

    Egg bound?

    Hi. My Barred Rock is trying to lay her first egg. She’s been constantly digging in the nesting box and has been panting with her beak open for 2days now. I’ve been with her all afternoon. Is this normal behavior for the first egg to be laid? I’ve given her oatmeal with some calcium and she ate...

    Egg bound??

    Worried about a new layer, she started laying about 2+ weeks ago and her breed (Golden Comet) is known for egg laying problems unfortunately so I want to make sure she's not egg bound. She's been going back and forth between the nesting boxes and run, she hasn't tried to actually lay yet. She's...
