Hi first time on here. Can anyone help me identify why my hen got sick and died. I found her sitting beside the water five days ago, she was wet under her chin and when I picked her up and moved her I noticed a gurgling sound from her crop and some fluid came from her beak when I picked her...

Hi everyone, One of my four hens was looking abit under the weather for the last 5 or 6 days. Very pale and not moving around much. She was still eating and drinking though. Yesterday I went out to collect the eggs and found this in the nest box. It’s hard, and smelly, and have no idea...

Hi, This is not much of introduction... I'll have to do one later! One of my ex-battery hens (I have had for around 2 months) fell ill last Saturday- I diagnosed her with an impacted crop and spent the last week massaging it and taking her to the vet. The vet was willing to cut it open and...

My 18 month old Rhodie started acting odd a few days ago. It's been hot and I thought she was molting (hasn't laid all summer, lost a lot of feathers).

Hey,guys! I need an advice. I' from TN and we had some very severe weather last month. Wasn't really snowing but temperatures went very low. Two of our chicken(a hen and a rooster) got severe frost bite on their legs. The rooster is a little better but the hen is concerning me. She's very skinny...

Its a sad day on our little farm. Our Wyandotte Hen passed away during the night. I found her sitting in the coop fluffed up and legatharic. I moved her to the "hospital in" and began working on her. At first Virginia and I thought she was hypothermic and treated her for that. Doing...
