She has always laid in the nesting boxes. This is something that has just started happening within the last several weeks.

She has always laid in the nest. This has now happened several times over the last few weeks

I have four nesting boxes, and the fourth is in a completely separate coop. She has been laying for at least 4 months

Anyone have explaination for why my leghorn hen is laying her eggs out in the open. She laid one right in front of the water dispenser the other day and today she laid one on top of large bolder in the run 🤷🏼

Safeguard Aquasol … the measuring is in metrics and I don’t know metrics. I don’t want to mess it up. How much safeguard goes in a gallon of water? I can mix up a gallon and make sure all the chickens consume it in the morning and then allow them to have unmedicated water the rest of the day. Do...

She is just at 11 months. I have no idea about her shelll quality, she is one of 11. Her hind end feathers didn’t look drenched, but I will check them again in the morning. I only saw the poop from the picture and that was why I was concerned. I started treating the entire flock with CORID...

I started treating the entire flock with CORID today. The directions say 1 tsp per gallon (so that would be 2 tsp for my 2 gallon waterer) for 5 days. Would you suggest anything else?

This is what is coming out of my favorite hen today😲. I guess I need some help. She never just lets me pick her up, but today was completely different. I have Corid in my first aid kit for the chickens, but is that what I should use? I don’t have anything else 😕. Should I use a dewormer? What...

Plus, they are the same breed (Barred Rock) and they don’t look at all like the rooster that came with them 🤷🏼. They don’t have the same big comb and waddle and their tails look like a hen

I can do that … what am I looking for?

The woman I got then from (they came with a rooster) said they are hens. They just started crowing when I brought them to my house. I am so confused. They don’t look like the rooster at all.

check this out ladies! I have two crowing hens 😳 https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b93OWjlNJ7mVY48Cp0buY2tw https://share.icloud.com/photos/042Q2kIpeiq0p7hmtUoGaPdaQ

I acquired a Serama couple about two weeks ago. I gather that the relocation could cause some stress and hinder the hen from laying … what is ab average timeframe for her to start back up? How do I know if she is broody or not?

I wouldn’t take one opinion as the gospel. They could been egg bound, have worms, etc.. if they are are both showing the same signs, it is very likely something that could spread throughout the flock. I would separate these two from your flock and then find out what is going on with them before...

Thank you so much for this information! I will definitely retain it for future use. Nothing was working to help this poor chicken and so my son helped me to cull her on Monday. It is sad, but it was much worse watching her suffer. I thanked her for all of the eggs she shared with me and my...

I have used it. I open up and dump out the powder. I mix one capsule with coconut oil and divide it into two mounds and then freeze it. It becomes a frozen chunk (pea size). I did that this evening and gave her one with a calcium tablet and a dropper full of water. Praying 🙏🏻

I have something that I was told works as an antibiotic for chickens called “Fishbiotic” that I mix together with coconut oil to make a pill. You can make two doses from one capsule. I can give that to her.

She had none of the symptoms of this. No sneezing or coughing, no discharge from the nose. She just is balled up, sequestered from the flock gurgling as she breaths. Her comb is still bright red, her eyes are clear. Her stance is wider and her walk reminds me of a penguin. I believe she may...

She is a brown sexlink. She is gurgling when she breaths. No discharge from the nose. Sometimes fluid from her beak. She sounds so pitiful. No discoloration in her face, eyes or her comb. I have not seen her eat or drink at all today.

Ok, so what do you suggest? I separated her from the flock in a small cage. I don’t know what else to do. Like I said before, there are no vets who treat poultry around here 😥
