Howdy,
I have a flock of 60 hens 1 rooster, a year old. All organic, noticed a hen today clucking at the end of each cluck us a honk sound? She's a RIR. I noticed I have a black sex link sitting in the nest laying an egg and she is moving her neck and mounth nothing coming out, thought hmm. Mute? She jumped out and sure enough sound? One other RIR back is bald, had poo stuck to back end feathers, vent us clear little bit of white foam? I feed organic pellet the are pasture raised barn is 60 feet by 30 feet with 60 chickens its alot of room. I feed them apples off the tree, grapes off the vines when on season, winter is pellet, scratch, flax seed, veggie & fruit scraps, live mealworms I raise on the farm, oyster she'll at times hard boiled eggs. They all seem healthy and hearty water is fresh daily inside and out in pastures every other week I add apple cider vinager for 3 days. Alt weeks cloves garlic press into water for 3 days. ANY help with thsee threw issues would be great. I am not against medication to make them healthier is in fact it is health issue or food? They are laying large to xlarge eggs daily. Thanks a lot. I'm new so I hope I will get some response and be able to retrieve. Lol. I have pics and a video of the chicken honk.
