hen

Our 10 week old blue austrolorp, Blue. I want to believe she is a hen... Help me out please.

I while back I posted about my broody hen and how she was so eager to hatch. Since that day she has still been broody and I have no Idea what to do. I have taken her eggs then have let her laid them, i've separated her then put her back, I've even hand fed her in fear that she'll starve. She...

Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with my hen? Could it be organ failure? She is an older (unsure of the age but definitely 4+) RIR. Her name is Reba. Here are her symptoms: -Drooping comb with the ends turning purple -No appetite (refused scratch just now) -Poopy butt - I noticed it...

They are all 9 weeks old Left to right Roo and hen? Up to down Roo and hen?

I have 7 splash laces red Wyandotte chickens, it’s my first time having chickens. They are a little over 2 months old, and I have one that has more developed facial growth and is much bigger and aggressive then the others, did we get a rooster? I have attached two pictures of it and a third to...

I Noticed that 1 of my female duck has a lot of sores all over her bill and also her nose holes look like they are closing up a little, any idea what’s wrong with her? I haven’t seen this with any of my birds before. she is about 6 years old and is a silver welsh harlequin.

I’ve posted my sweet Delawares a couple times at different ages. They’re roughly 11 weeks old now and I REALLY want to finally give them names 😁 What does everyone think?

Hi! This is my 1st post! ANY suggestions are welcome!! My almost 2 yr old Buff Orpington was laying last year, Stopped to moult & decided to start crowing in February. She started laying in March, for the season, but only laid 2 eggs & they where both soft shelled. She hasn't laid any since...

I need help ASAP. I have this 1-2 year old silkie and she has been fine until now. This morning she was her usual active self, eating, drinking everything. I came back from school and I find her isolated and in position to lay, which isn't odd since she's a hen. But she stood up and pooped this...

Question. So my older hen I've noticed she's been laying down a lot more away from the group on some occasions but often also lays down with them so I know she isn't an outcast at all. I noticed just today as I went to go fill up all their waters that's she's opening her beak to like take in...

Hi! Been a minute since my last post. I was looking at one of my old farm hens, Scarlett (around 5 years old) today when I noticed a strange new growth on her comb. Should I be concerned? Not a clue when it formed. I’m not sure what I could do about it but I just wanted to ask.

Weird question that probably is really dumb - I have this chick that is now around six weeks old that I thought was a pulley the whole time, but now I’m second guessing myself. It struts like a rooster constantly, is definitely “in charge” of the other pullets, is a bit aggressive towards me...

Just curious on these NN. Thank you.

I’m sure this question or a similar question has been asked many times but I am newish to broody hens. I have had two successful hatch eggs before sitting for the roughly 21 days. However the question I have now is I had a hen go broody today and I honestly don’t want to wait the 21 plus days...

Hello! I’ve been having trouble with this hen who doesn’t empty her crop entirely by morning. It’s been about a week, I think, since it was emptied completely. It isn’t impacted, and her poops are normal, considering. But she just has junk in her crop that won’t seem to get out. Whenever I...

This has been going on for a year. When she’s standing and during the day she is fine. They all have been on tylan for mycoplasma. For a few years. She is seven, not laying eggs. She has been confirmed to be done for good. During the day she eats, chases, treats and is her feisty self. Only at...

What should I do for my hen? I went out this afternoon and she was walking around with one eye closed. I walked up to her and tried to get her to open her eye, but she wouldn’t or couldn’t open it. I can make it come open, but she opens her beak a little like it hurts. My roosters been beating...

Hello all, my lovely hen recently got attacked by a bobcat but was saved thankfully but this morning she’s not doing too good, she’s sitting with her head down and eyes closed and it seems like she’s doing everything to just every breath, she has a couple big spots where her feathers were...

Any ideas? It is a four week old Golden Laced Wyandotte and I thought it was a pullet but now I’m thinking maybe rooster?

Hello everyone, I could use some guidance/advice. I have one hen, about 9 months old, that isn’t doing great. A few weeks ago, I noticed her one eye was super swollen/crusty and looked severely infected. She also had diarrhea. I took her to the vet, they prescribed an antibiotic, an...
