    Young hen that yesterday was running around just fine. Laying eggs daily, I know cause she's the only blue egg layer.

    It’s been 95* in San Diego for the last week. I found my 3yr old rhode island red wobbling and eventually dropping to the floor by the water. I brought her in the house and fed her food and water with electrolytes. After a few hours, she stood up and did the penguin stance. She was either...

    Egg bound or sick or something else?

    One of my buff orpingtons is acting weird today. Her tail is down and it seems like she’s shuffling around to walk, not going super far, and laying down every chance she can.
