Hey, I have a chicken who isn't laying. She stopped laying 4 weeks ago when she became egg bound. Today she looked very dazed and confused. She is eating. Not sure if she is drinking and pooping.
I have 3 roosters and I'm not sure what they are. I didn't think it really mattered until one of the eggs I've been incubating hatched today. He was way bigger then anything we were expecting and we're honestly just stumped on what it could be. I've included a picture of the hatchling and all 3...

Since we rescued one of my hens, she’s always come off as sick. She’s survived months and has always been one of the top hens, but recently I’ve become concerned. She makes a very weird neck movement, going side to side and around as if she’s trying to dislodge something in her throat or crop...
