Yes. She just went through egg yolk peritonitis for the second time--she has to be spayed or it will kill her eventually. More at this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=525411&p=1

I am lucky to have an avian specialist (its all she does) and wondered about spaying an internal laying hen. I don't have one with the problem just curious if it can be done and if it is cost prohibitive. I spent $800 for a hen with a crop, then gizzard impaction from eating hay. Ouch. I hope you let us know how it all goes! Good thoughts for your hen!

I have a giant Japanese maple tree and so far the leaves from it are their favorite.

Dried mealworms, they would probably love the live ones but can't bring myself to have live worms in my home.

Okay, I thought french fries were the all time favorite but now the figs are ripe. They go absolutley crazy for figs! Finally a use for the darn things!!

Soft bread is #1, chopped grapes #2. The love the bread no matter what it is mixed with - they go crazy for chopped up sandwiches of any kind. In winter, they really go for chopped greens - lettuces, chard, kale, collards, probably because they cannot find anything green for themselves.

Yogurt, raisins sunflower seeds shells on. 1st second third. Yogurt with raisins will start a riot.
