    Swollen abdomen on one side

    I've got this hen whose been acting strange for a few months. She's a red sex link, and I first saw problems when she was so skinny, I could feel the bones in her chest.

    Egg Bound or something else?

    Hi, here I am again. If you’ve seen my last few threads you’ll know that my Porcelain Duccle Artemis had some nose clog issue. Good news! That has resolved itself. Unfortunately, bad news is today I noticed she’s standing like a penguin and not speaking at all. She still pecked at the grass...

    Is my 3-week-old pullet eggbound?

    This baby has had a larger than normal bottom since we got her, but now it's becoming more pronounced and sort of pulsing. She's so little, but could she be eggbound? If she is, is there anything that we could even do to help her?

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    My almost two year old hen is likely eggbound. She's not her normal personality, doesn't want to move around, fluffed up, and tail down. I separated her from my other two hens, gave her fresh shavings and mash, and laid a towel over the side windows. She isn't giving any indication of laying...

    Egg broken inside chicken? Pls help

    We have a chicken who we presume an egg is broken inside her or she is feeling some kind of internal discomfort. We are giving her an epsom salt bath right now and will rub Vaseline on her vent and also give her some tums. What other precautions and safety measures can we take?

On Thursday and Friday my hen layed as normal herself but the eggs had blood on them - we thought this may just be a small cut internally which may heal.

    Is this a laying disorder or am I just missing something?

    My Easter Egger hen was acting differently yesterday. She jumped on the coop perch and just stayed there for an hour or 45 minutes and then went and squatted in the nesting box like she was about to lay an egg for a bit. I gave her some oyster shell and Pedialyte. Then a warm water bath with...
