    Hen has been limping several weeks…

    Hi, yes that area you are pointing to was scabbed, i forgot to mention. 2-3 days ago we cleaned the foot, picked the scab off and tried to express any more puss etc from jt. We then cleaned off, wiped with rubbing alcohol and pitted a drawing salve on it and bandaged it up. The picture above is...

    Hen has been limping several weeks…

    My Dolly is 1.5 yrs old, she’s heavier than my other hens so i thought maybe a sprain but it’s been a few weeks. I have her in a crate now during the day to heel and put her in the coop at night. We keep inspecting her foot but can’t seem to see anything. Thought I’d ask you all since I’m pretty...

    What breed is my Dolly?

    My roosts are very low with hay bedding underneath. I never see what she does to hurt it but she’ll just randomly start limping. We’ve inspected the leg and can’t see anything and she doesn’t seem to be in pain but she’s definitely laying down a lot and limping.

    What breed is my Dolly?

    Can anyone tell me what breed she is? I have 6 hens and she’s by far the heaviest and seems to have issues roosting and she limps at times probably bc she struggles jumping down from things bc of her weight. I’m wondering if she’s a meat bird bc she got big fast. She’s 1.5 yrs and i got her...

    I’m new to chickens, Cardi is 9-10 months old and the last few days she spends in the nesting box. I take her out and she drinks water and eats but feathers are puffed with a clucking sounds and she goes right back to the nesting box. We do not have a rooster. I also noticed she has a bald spot...

    Soft looking egg

    I know the hen who is doing this. I only have 6 hens, the other 5 have had no issues with their eggs and have hard shells. I had thought of taking the advice of another poster on here to give just that hen a calcium supplement. The hen laying the soft eggs is acting completely fine other...

    Soft looking egg

    Hello. So we had a few weeks of normal eggs and last night she laid another soft one :-( Can you tell me the brand of calcium pills you get? are they hard or chewable? Thanks!

    Soft looking egg

    Hi all. I’m new to chickens and my hens are about 8 months old. Today i found the below pictured egg in one of the laying boxes. I have no idea which hen laid it, they’re all acting normal. Should i be concerned about this? It looks like a balloon with some white and yolk mostly inside but some...

    Pastel green eggs

    She is the sweetest, she is my baby girl. When I sit out by the coop she will even jump up on the arm of my chair to be next to me <3
