    Eggbound or just Fowl Pox?

    Hi all, I have 4 chickens, all who currently have chicken pox. The girl I have isolated, who was being very badly bullied, has not laid an egg since Friday. She typically lays every day. There was no irritation around her vent, she seems a bit tired and isn't moving a whole bunch, but she is...

    My Chicken, Golda, Has Not Laid for 3 Days!

    She keeps trying in her usual spot, making her "laying noise", but no egg. She normally will lay everyday. I'm not sure what to do at this point. She is eating normally. We have not seen her poop. Not saying she hasn't - just haven't seen her do it. She is 21 weeks old. Weighs about 3lbs...

    Hi! My hen who is just over a year old (Easter Egger) has been in the nesting box A LOT. She was in possibly all last night and majority of the day today.

    Help! Calcified mass attached to duck.

    Duck wasn’t quite herself and seemed to be egg bound. She hasn’t laid in months. We soaked her several times in a warm bath and she strained while pushing. Eventually I could see the “egg” when she pushed, it was a massive grayish, calcified mystery. I continued to massage it out but what came...

    Has anyone tried an implant to stop egg laying?

    I know. It counterintuitive. But I do know that there is an implant that a vet can put into a bird to help reduce or stop laying entirely. I know it might be hard to fathom of why somebody would want to do some thing like this but my favorite little Serama hen, Pippa, is a tiny little thing...

    My hen has been acting strange since yesterday. She laid her first egg last Friday and hasn’t laid since. Yesterday she started to refuse food and hold her tail feathers down.

    Hen lethargic, huge inflamed abdomen, crusty smelly feathers,

    Our 1 year and 9 month old hen was starting to act funny last night, as she was going in the nesting box instead of the roosting bar at night. We thought she had a late egg. But this morning, I noticed she was standing still by the water, ignoring the food i had brought in. I picked her up to...

    Duck not walking and pecked at

    Hi everyone, New duck mom here 👋🏼. This duck (I assume female) was discovered this afternoon just laying around. I approached her and instead of standing she used her wings to try to get around. That was her state all day. I put her in the pool and she stood on both feet and moved around in...

    Bad diarrhea, poopy butt, flecks of blood, hiding in nest box

    I have a hen who has been getting lots of issues lately. First, a few weeks ago, it seemed she had sour crop, but then it went away by itself before I had a chance to treat it. Now suddenly she's unhealthy again. She's been hiding in a nest box all day and this morning it looked like she was...
