Hi!! One year chicken Momma... one of my four Orpingtons has laid 2 very small eggs. One last week and another today. She seems normal in every other ways. Is this something to be concerned about? She is the smallest of the four hens...always has been somewhat little compared to her big sisters...

Clean the coop area...where they nest at nite every morning. Then the go down to the floor area that I pick up daily and change pine shavings weekly. From there they can go out into an outdoor net covered run that I pick up twice a day. Very simple but only have 4 hens.

Thanks for the information.

Hi all! Quick question about using Safeguard paste...I wormed my 4 hens 2 days ago with a “dollop” of safeguard paste. They are all acting fine but I had seen 1 hen pass 1 roundworm so I decided to worm them. They are just turning a yr old and healthy Orpingtons..laying good etc. I have not seen...

Alls well that ends well...I appreciated all the input. I was afraid she had some strange disease! Not! Thank goodness

Took your advise. Got another vet. Did a fecal check. It was negative. Turns out she was mounting...this pic was taken about 5 days after the original post. Her face is now getting red again and it seems she is getting feathers again on head and neck. Her yellowish pads are normal but not...

Turns out she was beginning to molt...and, her skin is naturally yellowish which is not breed standard but recessive gene in Orpingtons! Now, three weeks later her tiny head is getting new tiny feathers! The yellowish color in her face is starting to get red again...her feet bottoms are still...

That may be similar to what I read...she has had a grayish tone like the rest of them until this. It is not something someone else would notice. It is subtle...but not like she has been. Discussed with the local vet that treats chickens and he said it could be the scrambled eggs, etc. so I have...

Thanks..I can do that. I’ll watch her close and see. thanks I will do that. Appreciate all the information!

Ok. I will do that. We live in Memphis Tn. They eat a 18 % layer feed. Some treats I.e. scrambled eggs, sweet potatoes, blueberries...etc. all limited. She started laying around end of September and has quit in the last week or so. Coincidentally that is when I noticed this slight...

Live in Memphis Tn I have 4 choc Orpington pullets. They are 9 months old now 1-8-21

Thanks Heather. Yes I do. I only have 4 and raised from day old. I have not wormed them so I suppose that could be a possibility. They free range in our fenced yard and coop at nite. I do know that they could still have worms.

Eyes are normal..no squishy...i thought of liver? Feels fine. She’s eating same as other three. But, they have gotten sweet potatoe (baked no skin) and some scrambled eggs. However, I’ve done this since they were 4-5 months old...for treat. Maybe she’s had too much?

I know these pic are not good. This started literally over nite. She has had some baked sweet potatoe, scrambled eggs, and baked egg shell. The other three have also. Her eyes appear normal..no discoloring. The other three are still laying. 2 every day. One slowing. She has stopped in the last...

I will try...been raining here(Memphis Tn) all day and nite. Will try to get a better one of her face too. It is not the tops of feet...only pads and a little between toes. Her face shows the most on her cheeks. Thanks!

My 9 month old choc Orpington hen has recently ....almost over nite started looking yellowish around her face, cheeks and bottoms of feet. Not sick at all..runs plays. She has stopped laying her eggs. She was laying every day or other day since October. My other 3 are still laying. Same age...no...
