    RIP: AngryGirl, light Brahma, odd behavior

    I did not place this in the emergency/injuries because it's not urgent. Noticed AngryGirl was off Saturday, but we have five or six going through a molt. Checked on her yesterday, she just seemed off. Wasn't moving much, extremely pale and her wattles/comb were nearly the color of her eyes...

    Passed Away* Lethargic hen sleeping not wanting to move

    So about 5pm I found out WhiteBand(name) Black Australorp sleeping in the corner. It took me nearly shaking her a tapping on her to get her to wake up. I even moved her and she didn't put up a fight. I honestly thought she was dead for a moment. Since then, I did give a calcium d+ vitamin. And...

    Water Belly or Egg Bound?

    We have a barred rock hen that just this morning wasn’t moving around as much as usual. She seems to keep having trouble laying an egg, so we assumed she was egg bound and have been soaking her in a warm Epsom salt bath for 20 minutes, applied oil to the vent area, and fed her some extra...

    Is my hen sick or injured?

    I have a hen that is exhibiting some odd behavior. She used to be one of my most active and busy hens, but now, all she does is lay around. When she gets up, she kind of stumbles a bit and her wings go out— when she walks, she’s a little slow and almost waddles kind of wide-legged. Any ideas...

    Help! I think my hen ate pebbles???

    Yesterday morning we went to check on the flock and one of the hens was “sleeping” standing up. She was very lethargic and uninterested.

    We have a sick silked Easter egger. Both wings down. Tail down. Skinny and losing weight. We have her isolated with some water with added recovery 911 and vitamin B complex.

    HELP! Egg broke inside of chicken?

    I noticed one of my hens acting off today. When I picked her up, I noticed this coming out of her. It looks like a soft shelled egg that broke/got stuck. I felt inside and it feels like there are broken egg shells. I’m currently giving her an Epsom salt bath, what else should I do for her?

    Good morning, Our sweet girl Darcy, a beautiful 2 years old flower hen, seemed a bit off end of March (I think it was around 23rd) and after examining her, we found an egg inside her.
