We are rehoming our two pekin bantam hens for free due to our recent house move. We also have a a hutch and pen, water/ food dispensers, feed and bedding sawdust which can come with them for free if needed. They are around a year old, laying in spring/summer months. Great little personalities...

Thanks for the replies guys. I’ll supplement their feed with some calcium-rich foods and see how she goes :thumbsup

hey there gang, One of our young Perkin bantams (Cochin) has started laying rubber eggs. They mostly come over night but this afternoon I saw her tucking into one she must have just laid there and then (i was too late to stop her). We got her around easter time at point of lay, from day one she...

Good news, she’s been back to normal today, having a forage and dustbath etc. Maybe she just had a bum day..I’ll check her crop in the morning to check it’s emptying ok.

Correct, we took on two bantams and they have their own coop and pen..our original legbars we’re getting a bit too rough with them for our liking. She’s on layers pellets (Fancy Layers is the brand). They’re fed in a normal small feeder, I keep the thing full throughout the day so they can have...

Hi Aart, We don’t think she’s an old bird - she was at advertised as point-of-lay when we had her about 4 weeks ago and laid regularly from day 1. I saw her poop earlier today whilst she was out and it was a white, creamy mush - perhaps that’s because she hasn’t eaten anything today? Her crop...

Thanks I’ll give that a read! She’s drinking an awful lot whenever I take her out too. Not interested in food but drinking like mad

Hi everyone. One of our two Pekin Bantams called Honey has suddenly decided she’s not leaving the coop this morning. She laid a paper-shell egg overnight and is just sitting in the nesting box today making this screeching noise. she’s doing it an awful lot. She’s usually the first one out in the...

Ok I will knock up a new box! Thanks

Hi all, My wife and I have just taken on 2 pekin bantams (Violet and Honey) that have just come up to laying age. They’re currently in their own pen as we’re slowly introducing them to our 3 free-range legbars. The two bantams are fine together throughout the day until laying-time comes...

Possibly the worst superhero name ever? The last few days one of my chickens has been exhibiting a red coloured poo - the attached photo shows two of the other poo's and the red poo. I've had a look at a few charts and I can't see this one - my guess is its blood? but its not massively runny or...

Happy to say that she's near full back to normal :) we had an egg today that had a very thin shell and broke as it was handled - i assume it was from our poorly chick as she can't have the necessary nutrition after the low feeding over the past few days. She is back foraging with the others and...

So today she is drinking well and has eaten a bit. She is no longer wheezing - just the occasional cough. Still paler than usual and unhappy looking though. I picked up some of the nutridrops and added them to some scrambled egg so hopefully she'll feel like a chow on that soon. She's in a...

Thanks very much for the info guys. she ate a bit of food earlier and she brightened up a bit after I rubbed some olbas oil on her. She even managed to have a little bit of a forage. The wheezing isn't quite as loud now and some of her colour has come back. She's just taken herself to roost for...

We are UK so will probably head to the vet this week. Thank you very much for the help guys

This is a different bird - we took the eye-chuck to the vets and got some drops. Happy to say the swelling is down now. I do wonder if it's somehow related though

Hey there I've got a young legbar here and she's gone off her food and is just standing in one spot with tail down and making a strange noise. I've attached a link to a video of the noises:

OK thank you. I'll take a look!

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) - Cream legbar, less than one year, no weight loss 2) What is the behavior, exactly . - somewhat lethargic, swollen and weeping eye (see photo) 3) How long has the bird been exhibiting...

Ok thanks for your help! I'll keep an eye on her!
