Hello everyone, I have a 3 year and 9 month old leghorn hen who has seemingly been going through vent gleet. It all started about 3 days ago when i started seeing a “messy” butt. I pulled her in today and smelled her butt. As a result, her butt smelled like human urine. The color of those messy...

Hello everyone, My 3 year and 4 month old leghorn hen has just been experiencing a hard/solid crop and is repeatedly adjusting her crop (even when she is roosting/sleeping). She is still acting perfectly fine, eating/drinking normally and is active. I'm not so sure about how her poop looks like...

Hello everyone, My 3 year and 3 months leghorn hen has been experiencing a bloated abdomen lately. A few days ago, she was egg bound as i saw her pushing, but soon after I didn’t see any egg come out of her and she was fine afterwards. Then I started to see her abdomen looking unusual and big...

Hello everyone, I just woke up this morning to let my 3 chickens out and they were all completely fine. Then, in the afternoon, my 2 year & 10 month old female easter egger, started to have her tail down, eye closed but she still wanted to eat and could peck. But whenever she peck she would...

Hello everyone, I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting...

Hello everyone, I have a leghorn hen that is 2 year & 9 months old and today she was acting very lethargic with her feathers down, tail down. I came to the suspicion that she could of been suffering from vent gleet since her vent is all dirty and wet with this white discharge. I also noticed...

Hello everyone, I randomly came out to my backyard to check on my rooster and I found that one of his spur's went missing/broken and is bleeding. I'm assuming that his spur got stuck somewhere and therefore it broke. Does anyone know any cures or treatment to this? Please let me know ASAP if you...

Hello everyone, I have a 1 year and 8 month old Easter Egger rooster and I have been recently seeing these small little white dots on his comb and it looks like some sort of Favus. I did some research and few people said to use Anti Fungal Cream, but I don't have any so I found a bottle of MP...

Hello everyone, it would mean very much if you saw this thread and helped me out on this. My EE hen has a sprained leg and she is getting pecked a lot by the other hens in the flock when she just started to have her sprained leg. She is the lowest on the pecking order compared to my other 2...

Hello everyone, one of my Easter Egger hens (Smokey) is limping whenever she runs. However when she walks slowly, she walks normally and doesn't limp. She eats and drinks perfectly. She does lay down in a corner because she is not feeling well about her foot. It seems like she is limping towards...

Hello everyone, I have been seeing some broken chicken eggs outside & inside the nest boxes for the past 2 weeks or so. I didn't think it was serious until I had enough of all the broken chicken eggs I saw. I usually collect my chicken eggs daily, but sometimes if I do forget, 1 skunk (I think)...

Hello everyone, I have been using sweet pdz for about 2 months from now, and I was wondering if I was doing everything correctly (I'm pretty sure i'm doing it wrong). When I add in the SWEET PDZ to my poop board after cleaning the coop, I leave it there for my chickens to poop on it for 1 week...

Hello everyone, my 2 saddles just arrived today and I tried it first on my EE (easter egger) and she seemed to feel pretty uncomfortable at first. She kept on itching the elastic straps around her wing for like 5-6 minutes, but now she is currently not scratching that much anymore and I THINK...

Sorry if these are answered elsewhere, feel free to point me to a post. I did a search and wasn't finding exactly what I needed. 1) I have a red-tailed hawk (and bald eagles, owls, foxes, raccoons, opossums, snakes, etc) that live nearby. The hawk is especially concerning at the moment. My...
