Hooray........ Well, Ive definitely lost the plot this week, and i dont mean on the allotments! I could have sworn i wrote an update here earlier, anyway.... My hen has now started laying, yesterday and today, they are small but at least shes laying. I cant say what it was that actually caused it or...

Hi Dom Well, dont know if you have read my earlier post yet, but my girl is back laying. Looks like ours had very much the same i think. The eggs are small but hey, im just glad she is laying to be honest. Oh, and surprisingly enough, I have a few feathers in my run now too..... Good luck and hope s...

DOM, I think my hen is on the mend, although I think i'm losing a few more marbles to be honest. She is active, but still no egg today. She's not that old and a hybrid warren. I had the three of them at Point-of-Lay in early april, and within two weeks of having them they were laying regularly every...

Morning Well, let my girls out, and I noticed that my hen has a full crop. I hadn't noticed before so maybe she has a problem there. I am worming all the girls at the moment with flub, but do you think, i could put ACV in their water at the moment to,or will it just make things worse. Oh i forgot, s...

Thank you everyone for some helpful hints. .

Ive started mine on wormer, just in case. I'm worming all my girls as i have three. I've put DE in the nest area just in case of mites and crawlies.. I don't know what I'm looking for when looking at her vent, but it seems pretty clean. She isn't coughing or sneezing. The only thing i think she migh...

Hi , I thought it was worth starting a new thread, as I havent still got a clue whats wrong with one of my hens. She's not laid in nearly a week, she is eating small bits and drinking. She walks around for a while then sits. Her poo is different all the time and there is no sign of any looking like ...

Thank you. Its been quite a few days now, so im sure by tomorrow, hopefully i will be able to see if shes going downhill or getting better. I am going to watch the other two hens i have with her a bit more closely to see whats really going on hopefully.

I think Im going mad. One of my girls is poorly. Day three of reduction in egg...this could be down to a couple of factors. It might not be her They might have been taken by someone,namely a dodgy neighbour She is trying to eat pellets etc, but i think she is having difficulty. She ate some that i m...

Thank you for your replies. I cant say that i have heard her making any sort of noises to be honest, but will certainly see if she does have a respiratory illlness, as i looked online earlier, and one of the signs are a light coloured egg shell, but i though the shell colour might have been due to t...

p.s The other hens in with her havent got any symptoms or do the same as her

Hi, Ive had my chickens for around 12 weeks. Just after i had them i noticed the one was stretching her neck and opening her beak,..anyway, after looking online, i thought it best to worm them with flub, but still she's been doing the same,, now, ive decided to worm just her, using the flub on a gra...

Hello.. I was just wondering, would there be any reason why a bat might want to come and visit me? I found one in my dining room earlier,after I heard my cat crying. My back door was open, so im not sure if the cat caught it and brought it in, or whether it flew in by accident, but ive never had tha...

For the moment, everything is ok. Iv'e cleaned it and put sudocrem on it, as some of have suggested and it was easier to get, but think I will have to get a little chook first aid tin handy. She's walking around on it fine. The others seem okay with her about and no different from the usual.

She's walking around fine i think, now and again she will stand on one foot. I am watching to see if the other hens have noticed or anything.
