They were both trying to mate her. I thought she was dead at first. She is definitely injured, and I’m sure it’s internal. I have segregated her in the house. I checked her vent, but can’t hardly get in. I will post what has been leaking out.

So I have posted about this before, I need to update. I got 6 hens that were not taken care of. Approximately 1-2 years old. One of them had bumble foot, took care of that. She is also weak, does not lay eggs and is fearful of other hens and is picked on. I checked her vent. It’s good. Her...

I have a new hen added to the flock. I thought they had all integrated well. I was wrong. Here are some pics of what I believe my rooster did to her. I separated her, yesterday after finding this. Today I poured saline solution over this wound, then I applied betadine. She doesn’t take...

I got 6 hens from a lady that raises chickens, to add to the flock. What a mistake. She said she was a hobby chicken farmer. The problem was she did not collect eggs or clean the coop. I collected more than 3 dozen out of nests that very dirty. So one of the hens I took is not well. I...

This is my 3 month old Easter egger. What do you think Rooster or hen. She seems small for a rooster Betsy

I had 20 chicks. Today they are 10 days old. I have a coop that is far off the ground. I keep taking them out each day, for some sun. They are definitely big enough if I raise the lid on the nesting box to fly out. This back and forth and back and forth has caused me to lose 2 chicks. So...

I ordered barred rocks, Easter eggers, Silver laced Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Welsummers. I ordered 15 and got 20. Which I knew would happen. The only one I’m not sure of is this guy. What’s your best guess.

Ok here’s the deal. I moved here from California to North eastern Tennessee. I had chickens, so I know about raising them. I will be getting approximately 10 chicks. I don’t have a way to build a coop. I have looked on marketplace and hardware stores, marketplace was not that successful. I...

Here’s what I have to build my chicken coop. It’s an old dog kennel. Any suggestions would be great. I know I need a roof. What about the wood the chain link fence is on. I’ll be getting my chicks as soon as I make this ready. I’m in North eastern Tennessee Thanks Betsy

My hen that is 3 definitely has a severe case of gape worm. I know I visibly saw them in her throat. It took me a couple weeks to determine this. If I had known I probably could have saved her. I gave panacur dewormer. She won’t take food or water now for days. Her eyes are swollen she...

My light Brahma has way too much poop and watery coming out. She seems to be energetic, eating fine. But there’s no way this is normal. I don’t believe it’s coccidiosis. My other 3 hens are not affected, so it’s not contagious. It’s all over her back end. So I have given her a bath. She...

Ok, so we had a severe heat wave in Northern Ca. I lost one hen during this. My New Hampshire, either has not recovered, or has a completely different problem. Her back end is swollen red. She has a green white streaked fluid running out. She’s not eating. I did put on glove and go into...

I dewormed my 9 hens yesterday with 1/2 cc valbazen. Next day one of my buffs, as I was keeping a close eye on them pooped a thick green poop then sort of fell over. I gave her water with electrolytes a little kiefur and then she just laid on step and started panting and this yellow fluid came out

This is one of light Brahmas She isn’t feeling well. Last night I came she had been just hunched down, not drinking not eating. I checked her vent for egg binding, I’m pretty sure she’s not. We gave her a bath in lukewarm water She ate a few grapes, but today still is just sitting here. Not...

I have 9 hens. When one is laying she takes along time, but there are 3 others, light Brahmas that crowd her. There is plenty of other places to lay, but they want to lay in that one spot, and my buff can’t stand it. Is this a big deal

This is bit of a surprise to me. I have 3 buffs And 3 light Brahmas, born May 11. I did not expect to start laying this late in the fall, one Buff, Wendy Peffercorn, named from my oldest Grandson, started about 2 weeks ago. I just thought this is a fluke. The rest will start in spring...

I have 9 hens, 3 of them started laying one month ago. New Hampshire, barred Rock and sex link. One of those 3 is periodically dropping a soft egg outside the coop, usually. I cannot tell which one. I would say about 4 times in this month since they started. I’m putting oyster shell in the...

Ok what’s your best guess on this one. I’m thinking because the tail feathers are more directed up and those white fluffy feathers around the neck, she could be a he.

Ok I have 4 chicks 4 weeks old and 6 chicks 4 days old. I see so much info on how and when to put them together. Anyone that has this more than a few times please give me a few basic steps. Thanks so much
