    Hormone Implant in Chickens

    Hello! This is not an emergency, but my question still fits in this category I believe. I'm looking for people who have had experience with the hormone implant. I've done some searches on the forums and I'm not finding many firsthand accounts or details on how the implant is working out for...

    Winifred's Nesting Box Weirdness.

    Hello, Our Speckled Sussex, Winifred (roughly a year and a half old) has been acting rather strangely lately. We're not sure how long this has been going on for (maybe since August?), but she has taken to sitting in the nesting box, turning around, and acting as if she is going to lay an egg...

    EYP and draining

    Hi all! I continue to have trouble with my Plymouth Blue Rocks. These poor girls have their trouble. I’ve dealt with EYP already with the first one I had lost. She was emaciated but definitely full of fluid and was able to drain pretty consistently until it was time to let her go. I have...

    Half my flock laying softshell eggs

    Over the last month, over half of my 2.5 y/o mixed flock has started laying softshell eggs. 4 out of 7 of my hens have been doing so frequently--it's not uncommon for me to get at least one softshell a day. Even the intermittent "normal" eggs from the culprits are often wonky--bumpy, pale...

    Unexpected “Natural” Death *Necropsy Pics*

    Earlier this week when I took a head count at roosting time, I was one bird short. No, no! A chicken keeper’s worst nightmare. I quickly figured out (with the help of a list of my birds on my phone) which bird was missing and set out to find her. It was Millie, my 3 year old Amberlink. She knew...

    Breathing difficulties

    This morning I noticed my CW, Blanca, breathing very strangely, very noisily, with little sneezes interspersed. A little background: I have a free range flock of 35 and 12 3-wk old chicks inside. I have been keeping chickens for three years and have no history of any respiratory disease in my...

    Soft shelled eggs. Lash material? Reproductive illness? Ascites?

    Aloha everyone! My sweet 2.5 year old RIR hen, Oia, had a swollen abdomen for at least a couple months that had her having soft poops, eating less, and loss of muscle mass. Her sister died in November from reproductive illness :( Oia seemed to be getting more unwell as her abdomen enlarged, and...

    Possible reproductive disorder?

    Hi BYC I posted earlier about my three year old bantam chicken being eggbound however I was told that she might actually have a reproductive disorder. For a couple of days she’s been waddling around, dragging her tail and she can’t stand up correctly. She uses her wings to stabilize her but...
