    Help: Sick Hen? Egg bound?

    My hen has been acting strange since yesterday. She laid her first egg last Friday and hasn’t laid since. Yesterday she started to refuse food and hold her tail feathers down. She keeps to herself in the darkest part of coop, so I assumed she was egg bound, I didn’t feel anything on her abdomen...

But this morning, I noticed she was standing still by the water, ignoring the food i had brought in. I picked her up to...

    One of our ducks isn't doing very well. It all started last weekend. She was apathetic and didn't want to eat, not even her favorite treats.

    Orpington Duck was eggbound, but still not back to normal

    Previous Layer Not Laying but in Nesting Box

    I have a 2 year old Ameraucana who would leave me a pretty green egg each day. She hasn’t laid in about 4 days but I find her in the nesting box each day- but no egg. All of my other hens lay brown eggs so I’m not confusing her eggs for another or vice versa. I’ve had a broody hen and she’s not...

    Egg bound.

    Hola everyone. So….. About last week Saturday, I noticed my red Cochin (1 year 2 months) acting off. This went on for about 3 days, so I gave her a caclium pill. Not all of it though, as it was 1,000 mg, and I did not want to overdose. After about 2 days, I saw that she was starting to get...
