I have had hens who have laid lashes and have been fine and dandy, although it isn't always the case, but if she is now better than she was I would think she is glad to have got rid of it, maybe that is why she has been off it for a little while, keep an eye on her

Her vent doesn't look too bad after a bath, she looks like she has had a few pecks on her comb, its very small isn't it, but she is young, I would try and keep the cut clean and just keep an eye on it, bless her, she is having a tough time

Aww bless her, I havn't had a broody so I can't help, she is quite young isn't she? hope someone else may be able to offer you some help

Aww Wendy you look like you have all been together for life Megan is so lucky to have found you and you her


Aww Dave

Hello and welcome to the lane I havn't actually had any hens so young so not sure, am sure someone will be along to help, I would think the oyster/grit won't hurt if you put a bit out and if they want it they will take it.

Aww I am glad that she has been seen and nothing jumped out at least that is good news, hope the meds are not too much of a problem, maybe you could try holding her quite firmly, settle her and then give the meds, worth a try. Hope she is soon on the mend

Aww Manda, so sorry, I know how much you loved him

Any news Mummyhen???

First of all here is the famous poo chart m The poo does indicate that she is not eating much. Have you felt her crop, is it hard, soft or empty ? Vent Gleet does have a particular smell, and the poo is very pasty, if you cannot get the poo off after another bath you may be better just snipping some...

Oh dear, she wasn't very old was she poor Blossom and poor Millie

Good news all round

Wow, very good indeed, I think more men should knit

I have just had a closer look at the picture, I do think there are one or two feathers breaking through so maybe a moult I have had hens that seemed to have sneezed and lost most of their feathers and others who have lost feathers in dribs and drabs

How odd is that? My bluebell has the same problem , but not quite so bad. It does not seem to bother her at all. I thought it was where she had been dust bathing which she really loves. Put cream on her ! .. First catch your Bluebell. She is the shyest chicken I have ever had and she has never let ...

Mmm has she been moulting? it does look quite red, you could pop a bit of sudocreme on it or a little zinc and caster oil, doesn't look like she has been pecked or any feather pecking going on, keep an eye on the limp, arnica cream can help if there is no obvious breaks etc,
