    Duck sensitive vent area won't eat or walk

    I have a 2.5 year old welsh harlequin who has had herself seperated for about a week now. She had the slightest limp and wasn't walking much, I looked her over and there was no bumble foot or heat in the joints, so I gave her a few days to just rest. Yesterday she walked out of the coop and was...

    If one egg broke under a broody, will the rest be okay?

    This is day 1. I gave the eggs to the broody a few hours ago. The nest didn't have enough bedding which I assume is why one egg broke. I put in new bedding but some of the eggs got yolk all over them. They're dry now, a bit sticky. I'm just wondering if I can leave them for the next 21 days or...

    (EMERGENCY) Hen with broken egg inside body

    I noticed she was lethargic and had a penguin stance. When I picked her up I immediately saw clear egg yolk-mucus goop out of her vent, which looked enlarged. She was quickly declining so I soaked her in epsom salt and tried to feel around for an egg with a lubricated gloved finger. I couldn't...

    5 mo, laying for a week, broken egg or prolapse?!

    I noticed our 5 mo bluebell egger in the corner of the run yesterday, with her wings down and tail down. She’s a spitfire so I knew something was off. She was normal this morning eating eggs and snacks and drinking water, this pm she was back to her quiet ways. Gave her an epsom salt warm bath...

    Hen laid 2 soft shelled eggs at once

    Hi all! One of my girls laid what appears to be 2 soft-shelled eggs at once into their poop hammock (I say it's one chicken because I collected 5 normal eggs and I've got 6 girls total). Everyone laid yesterday and they were perfectly normal. They get layer feed that has oyster shell in it and I...

    Mysteriously Messy Bum

    Everyone knows that one of the telltale signs of a healthy hen is a nice fluffy bottom. I recently noticed my 21 month old ISA brown hen has a weirdly messy bottom. Here's the thing: it's not right around her vent but actually under it by a couple inches. Upon checking her vent itself, it looked...

    The Mysterious Case of the Egg Yolk Stains

    Hi folks, HISTORY: I'm hoping someone can help me deduce what's going on over here. Two of my 19 month old hens--a GLW and BO--had been going through a pretty hardcore molt since a couple weeks ago. They'd been separated into their own pen, to help keep them from the drama of the rest of the...

    Very Slight Limp

    While free-ranging today, I notice my big, 1.5 y/o BO, Glory, seems to be sticking close to the run areas. I then swore I saw a slight limp. I watched her over the next thirty minutes--sometimes it was imperceptible, sometimes I swear I saw a bit of a limp, but I don't know if I'm going crazy...

    Hen won’t eat

    My hen is currently recovering from being eggbound with a broken egg. I’ve noticed immediately that she is willing to eat the small crumbs of the layer pellets I set out for her but not the full pellets. This morning I crushed them up and she was willing to eat them and then wash it down with...

    Egg Pecking - not cracked, but pecked...

    Hey all, We've had chickens for about 5 years now - we keep 5 girls in a fully enclosed 2 level coop, with a run downstairs, and a roost + 2 nesting boxes upstairs. From time to time over the years we get cracked eggs, and when that happens, I always remember to put out crushed oyster shells...

    Broken Eggs 35% of the Time - WHY?

    Hoping that some insight can come from this knowledgeable group! I have a small (2 girls ) flock. One is a New Hampshire Red and the other is an Ameraucana. About 35% of the NHR eggs are broken. I don’t think she is pecking them since there is lots of yolk. I also have porcelain eggs in the...

    My newest girl started laying broken eggs

    I have a barred rock hen that is just starting to lay. Her eggs are are getting dented at the top point (front two in the photo). Is this because she's dropping them? Any suggestions? They don't seem thin to me. Maybe she needs more bedding?
