    Florida duck predators?

    Eye injury - swelling, blind, oozing

    I just noticed one of my hens has an injured eye. I don’t know how it happened, I’ve had her separated from my flock for a couple weeks now because she’s been aggressive with the other hens, so it wasn’t a fight between chickens. There are bees in her area, but I’ve never had a hen get stung...

    Whats wrong with this egg?

    Hi everyone. I'm excited to have joined the group. Could anyone please help me to identify what is in this chicken egg that I cracked this morning? Is it excess chalaza? It didn't smell and felt stretchy. Thank you in advance for all your help.

    Hen from before is displaying worrying symptoms. I don’t know what’s wrong with her.

    I thought I knew what was wrong with Rocky, and found a solution, but she doesn’t seem to be getting better. I suspect that she has sour crop, and just needs a lot more attention, but I’ve never seen these symptoms that she’s showing. -A brown/orangish fluid leaks out of her beak whenever she...
