Hello, I purchased 5 new hens about a month ago. They are about 5-6 months old and have appeared to be in good health this past month. Today I found that one of them is completely listless, wont move on her own. When I pick her up she doesnt resist. Her breathing was laboured (not noisy or...

My Silkie hens also just began to lay and they lay very light brown eggs, and they are much smaller then even the smallest bantam egg.

Quote: That is a great pic! Amazing what goes on in these girls

Great advice in the links! Thanks so much I am much more confident now that everything should be fine between them as we've never really had a major scuffle...being as they are all quite young still they should learn to live together in peace. As for the hen-lingerae! What an idea....and so...

I was told upon purchasing this boy as a chick that he was an Araucana? What do you think? What is the difference between an Ameraucana, and Araucana and an EE?

QUESTION about Leghorn Laying-- Has anyone known their Leghorns to lay more than one egg a day? Is that even possible for a hen to do? I have one leghorn hen who just reached maturity 4 weeks ago and began to lay a little white egg every day. I know it is her egg because none of my older hens...

I have 6 hens that are just reaching maturity as they hatched in the summer. 2 of the hens started laying a month ago. 1 small egg each, every day.

Hmmm....I'm trying to share pics of my flock too....but having a bit of trouble working the site...lets see if that worked?

How do you post pics on here?? I'd love to show my gals and boys too

Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that they can get along in the right environment. I sure dont mind getting more hens for them come spring...if thats what it takes to keep them all happy. Chicken Lingere!!! Bahaha! I'd love to see a pic:lol: How do you get it to stay on? Did you make it...

My 4 littlest girls just started Laying. They hatched out the last week of August (24th) and began to give a little brown egg now and then 14 days ago (I began to find 1 or 2 in the nest). Since then they have gone full-steam-ahead, and these past days every one of them has layed one egg a day...

Is it possible that one of the maturing bantams is laying a white egg, even though their mothers do not?

I have 5 roosters and 15 hens. It was a bit of an accident as after my old rooster died I purchased 6 new hens and 3 new roosters (all young this summer hatches). It turned out that only 4 of 6 hens were actually hens and 2 were roosters! So I've got 5 roosters now:/. They seem to keep the peace...
