    Strange Eggs, Are My Girls Lacking Something??

    I recently got two new hens into the flock, I’ve done the isolation then slowly introducing them to the old flock thing. I’m adding this in as maybe stress is causing this? The weird egg laying is coming from one of my old flock (only about 1 1/2 years old) members who’s pretty high if not top...

    Balding & lethargic

    My barred rock (approx 2.5 years old) recently stopped laying and the top of her head started balding. Up until yesterday she was acting normal but yesterday morning when I went to check on them I noticed she was moving slower than usual and her comb was turning purple. Still eating a little but...

    Lash egg or soft shell?

    One of my normally super consistent egg laying hens has slowed down her production recently. Shes otherwise acting like her normal sassy self. Today I found this thing half in half out of the nesting box. She’s laid funny eggs before and I know that just happens sometimes but I want to make sure...

    To eat or not to eat?

    My girls have some tapeworm segments/eggs (the little white dots that move like zombies) in their poop. I’m in the process of worming them with zimecterin gold horse paste, once and then again in 10days. I’m about a week into my first dose & it’s killing me to toss the eggs. Does anyone ever eat...

    When to introduce the new hen

    I like to have 3 hens, that’s the amount I need in order to feed myself & frankly all I have space for. That being said, i just lost one of my hens to being egg bound and two days later a friend had a red sex link pullet she wanted to gift me. I know it would have been better to get two but my...

    Tapeworm Segments in Poop, how to treat with horse wormer

    I recently found some unmoving tapeworm segments in my girls poop. Even when the poop is fresh, the segments don't move. I purchased Zimecterin Gold dewormer for horses because I have read that praziquantel is effective for actually removing tapeworms. My question is how do you effectively...

    Lethargic chicken drinking lots of water

    I went out to check on the girls this morning and noticed my Wyandotte acting funny. She was in the nesting box but came out and started drinking a concerning amount of water. I threw some mealworms in and she had no interest in them which is a huge red flag. I went back in my house and came...

    I have a legbar hen that quit laying about last Wednesday. Other than that seeming fairly normal until Friday afternoon she started acting lethargic. Saturday morning she’s way worse and I found a bloody mucous poop as well as a few more runny & bloody ones. I ran to the feed store and got corid...

    Several days & no egg, should I be concerned?

    I have a legbar that’s about a year and a half old and on average lays every other/everyday. It’s been about 4 days now and no egg from her but all the other girls are laying regularly. They don’t freerange enough to have been able to lay a hidden egg and she’s acting completely normal. I picked...

    Is weekly calcium citrate a bad idea?

    My chickens are all acting and laying healthy at the moment, but I previously had a hen lay two soft eggs back to back and it got me thinking about their daily diet. They currently have their own shells that I feed bad to them in their coop at all times but would making a little treat where I...

    Run egg then soft egg

    I have a flock of three hens who all are currently acting and looking healthy. My wyndotte who fairly consistently lays every other day has had a bit of a weird laying cycle. Yesterday I found an egg of hers in the run, I didn’t see it until the evening but not sure if it was a morning lay, I...
