Gosh the drama never seems to end in chicken keeping life 😅. I have a hen who's been hanging out in the nesting boxes, looking rough with feathers. Today I see this hanging from her vent. Looks like a huge tapeworm to me! Please let me know your thoughts. We dewormed the flock in the winter.

Hi all, Went to check on the chickens earlier and noticed my sapphire gem hopping on one foot and some bleeding. Didn't see anything on her trunk. Her right foot has a tiny laceration on the top, her foot joint and pad look very swollen. For now, i have cleaned and gently wrapped her foot...

Hi all. I had a young layer (about 9 month old) looking unwell today. Brought her in and hadn't seen her lay yet. Gave her one calcium tablet, and about 30 min later she layed a soft shell egg. She perked up and was eating, but then I saw extra soft shell in the crate. Is there anything...
