    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! 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?

I have a nearly two years old hen who got the Suprelorin implant late last year after a few soft-shelled eggs that led to a prolapse. The effects recently faded and her comb turned redder, so I...
