Hello everyone,
I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting...
I have a beautiful black hen with spots on her chest. I named her Emerald. She lays light brown eggs as far as I know, and she came from a home with a very small coop with a tiny run, but I don’t know what she is!! All guesses are welcome!
A few days ago I posted about my hen who had a prolapse vent. Mrs duck had a bad prolapse that I healed enough to put her back in with the others the week before. Well a week later, it happened again but worse. There was an egg stuck. I spent 4 hours trying to help her get the egg out. Baths...
5 months old has laid twice but none the last three days. This morning noticed very thirsty, eating, preening and moving around like normal but drinking a lot of water. When I picked her up a clear liquid fell from beneath her, like a short stream. Her crop feels like water and small amount of...

We have a black Australorp hen who gets bullied. The bullying got better over time so we didn’t think much of it anymore. Around 2 weeks ago we saw one of her eyes was closed, I believe on her right side. One of her eyes was closed like this before and we put ointment using a Q tip and it...
Please someone help. I have a hen, around 15 weeks old. She started acting oddly a few days ago, being very lethargic, gasping for air, and not eating much. We thought it might be the heat, and brought her inside for a few days. I checked her crop to see if it’s impacted and it’s not. Now about...
This brahma is 15 weeks old and it came from a pullet bin. It has had no signs of being a male until now, it just crowed this morning? I immediately assumed it was a boy, but then I looked it up and saw that hens will sometimes crow, especially the “alpha females” of the group, and this one is...
Help! This is kind of urgent. So I have a Rhode Island Red hen who is fully grown, and just raised up 2 Silkies. One Silkie is a rooster and the other is a hen. NOTE: my RIR is very friendly and kind and I’ve never noticed any aggressive behavior from her. I decided to finally merge the two...

Hello everyone, I have a 1 year and 5 month old Easter Egger hen and she just started loosing a bunch of feathers starting from 2 days ago. I don't know what to do and i'm very scared something is wrong. When I also touch/pull out her feathers gently, it falls out very easily. Could this be...
I have an around 14 month EE hen named Tiny. 4 months ago, she became sick for around a week and we gave her dewormer medication and epsom salt baths and over time she became fine. Her comb got huge and red and she has silky clean feathers and she loves to run around the yard. She hasn’t laid a...
One of our chickens went broody and ended up surprising us with 3 new chicks! They are 6 weeks old in two days. I’ve read that at 6 weeks hens shouldn’t have a very developed comb or wattle, but all 3 of these do!
Is it possible/likely at all 3 are roosters, or is this normal? We would be very...
Hello everyone, my 2nd leghorn (Shyshe) acts kind of broody for the past 3 days or so. So this is how it works everyday at around 12pm she lays her egg and then she gets out of her nest box and starts eating, playing around with her other chicken friends but then at around 4-5pm she goes back...
Hello everyone, my rooster has been recently aggressive with my 3 hens when it comes to mating. I found out to buy a saddle for them and it's coming in 2 days! But the problem is I'm not sure if it will fit on my leghorn and will my leghorn like it? I know that one of my easter eggers will...
