    Letting broody hen hatch her eggs

    Thank you very much for your response. She’s one of my younger chickens, not very high up in the pecking order. I have some six year old mean girls in my mix. My thoughts for separating are for safety of the chicks as well as making sure they are eating from the starter/grower feed and not the...

    Letting broody hen hatch her eggs

    This will be our first time letting one of our broody hens hatch out her eggs, so I have a few questions if anyone can help answer. Do we separate the hen from the flock when her eggs hatch? How long does she stay/help raise (with) the chicks? How long before she is laying eggs again? Thank all...

    Rooster with bump/lump on upper eyelid

    I did the warm compresses a few days in a row and then tried to press the area with a Qtip each time. I used Terramycin for two weeks. Did not help. I spoke to our optometrist and she didn’t feel comfortable with us trying to lance the lump. She suggested we use ciprofloxacin eye drops first. I...

I wish I could get a better picture of his eye for you, I will try to have someone help me while I hold him this week. I even asked my optometrist if he could look at his eye, he...

    Rooster with bump/lump on upper eyelid

    It’s been a week treating this poor guys eye lid with the topical antibiotic and no relief. It’s still elevated and hard to the touch. Any other thoughts? No other symptoms, occasional tiny bubbles in the corner of his eye. He’s acting normal otherwise.

    Rooster with bump/lump on upper eyelid

    Thank you. I picked some up this afternoon. I did notice a bubble as well as some fluid (tears?) accumulating along the lower eyelid margin a few minutes ago. I will to the saline and Terramycin tonight when gets dark so I can catch him.

    Rooster with bump/lump on upper eyelid

    Hello, first time posting on this forum. I noticed yesterday that my 1yr old Black Ameracauna Rooster has a bump on his right upper eye lid. Left eye looks fine. No discharge…yet. I’ve had chickens for 5 years now and have never seen this before. Is anyone familiar with what this could be? We...
