Question: I have a black Orpington cross that has always laid a nice large darker brown egg, sometimes with a speck of darker dots but she had seemed to quit laying. I have been finding these tiny dark brown eggs the last couple of weeks & had no idea where they were coming from. I'm leaning...
Never got a flu shot, never will but unfortunately some of the bad diseases are coming back thanks to all the illegals that poured over our borders in the last few months ( & still do). :(
Sorry it's taken me so long, I'm used to reading the BYC posts on my email, they're disappeared & I can't figure out why or how to get them back.(Last ones were on April 30th). She seems fine today, haven't heard any weird sounds from her, she's eating & running around normally, I'm pretty sure...
She's not crying non stop this morning but is still sort of making a sneezing sound every few minutes. She is walking around, eating, doesn't seem sick in any way, maybe she does have something lodged in there but she's not gasping for air & doesn't act distressed just keeps making sounds. I...
If she is not laying..she may be going broody..some cry non stop just before they go into it..they sound like a cat in heat..
Chickens do not cry when they hurt or when they are sick..they hide it..

I've seen her broody in the past, acted like a normal broody hen. It's dark now & she's still...
I feed the same ff that I've been feeding for a long time,no, & no.
She looks healthy, it's 10:15pm I just went out & checked her again, she's been crying non stop even now in the dark. She's on the roost but standing up, she stretches her neck up & back down with each cry. He crop feels full &...
I haven't been on here for a while-too busy but also I suddenly quit getting BYC subscription email after April 30th. I contacted the administrators-they said nothing seemed wrong. I even unsubscribed & resubscribed-still nothing is showing up in my email. Its not in the spam folder either. My...
Went out to feed last night & one of my freerange AG hens was standing there with 2 baby chicks :ep I got her in a pen, will the babies be alright eating the same ff I'm feeding everyone else or do I need to get "chick" starter for them?
She was my favorite, I'm going to bury her, couldn't get to it today so she's in the freezer, I just don't know if I can cut on her but I may still try :sick
No offense taken :hugs I wish I could have caught her sooner, maybe the outcome would have been different. She was laying everyday until this happened.....
Sorry that I came to the "natural" thread but I knew there were knowledgeable people that I've taken advice from before on here :hide By the time I was able to catch her it was getting too late for natural remedies. I'm a big believer in using as much natural stuff as possible. She was a total...
:hit Help I found my favorite game hen (total freeranger) with an egg half broken held by an egg shell looking stream coming out her butt 3 days ago, I couldn't catch her but saw the bottom part of the broken egg come off, I didn't find her until yesterday afternoon, netted her & pulled the 4"...
