    Hello, one of my girls has been acting lethargic and stopped laying eggs. We have been giving her an epsom salt bath in case she was egg bound and separated her from our other hens. Today, I noticed that she has white stuff near her ears and has been picking at her feet and a little spot near...

    One of my chickens, Scotland, a Plymouth Rock, almost a year old, who is the biggest of the four I have recently (Tonight) started acting off. I noticed a week ago one of my chickens was laying soft eggs, no shell - so I got oyster shells yesterday. TODAY, I noticed Scottland resting outside...

    I have a 1 &1/2 year old chicken (at the oldest) that stopped eating (except for grass when she could walk to forage, and then cabbage and romaine lettuce when she stopped being able to walk and I was feeding her) - she almost completely wasted away - she can not walk - her poops were green...

    Hey all. About a month ago or so I lost one of my chickens, a white leghorn that was hatched in early March. She wasn't laying yet which I thought was a little weird, but since we got her (and the others) she was never the same as the other chickens. She was always slower to develop, her comb...

    This is a question from one of our readers. I'm inquiring about a sickness of a few hens I have and should I move them away from the others? Here is what is happening, I thought it was a respiratory infection yet now some have swollen up in the face and have closed their eyes on one side can...
