    Lethargic hen

    I have a 2 year old olive egger that has been lethargic for the last few days. At first I thought it was due to overcast weather and she might’ve been cold.

    I have a 1 year old Brahma hen. When I sit outside with her and don't have socks or shoes on she will run up to my foot, freeze, and stare at it. The other day she did something even more strange though. While she was staring, her feathers slowly rose and she did a very quick and aggressive...

    Clear, watery feces - 2 year old hen

    Hello all! This morning I went to the coop to let the girls out, and my normally peppy, clingy EE was seeming "off". She was slow to the feeder, and wasn't attached to my hip like normal.
