Thanks for the reply! I decided to re-worm her late yesterday. Low and behold she egged today!! I'll keep a close eye on her, hopefully it was/is worms causing all hey grief.

Hi everyone, Wondering if any one can shed some light on a problem my Blue Australorp Mollance is having. Here are the concerns: ○ She has stopped laying eggs (aprox 9 days). ○ She constantly eats and drinks all the time (layer feed), not underweight but not gaining weight. ○ I've seen her...

She sounds like one special hen! Glad you two found each other

Hi, I only have the two photos above. Not sure what book they are from. I think I found these photos on byc a while back. Sorry not to be of more help.

Update on Saturn. She is doing great! Here is a short happy chicken video of Saturn and Butter Grumbles. Thank you all for your kind words and support

Thank you CTKen!

Ok, So my pullet Saturn has looked a little thin and worse for wear. I wormed her yesterday with panacur (along with Butter Grumbles who she shares a pen with). Today this poo happened. It was wiggling and everything!! My questions are: • could she have pooed worms because the worming...

Hi backyard chickeners, I just got 2 new 6wk old chicks. Found blood in one of their poos. Tested positive to coccidiosis. I have been searching and searching ol Google and can't seem to get a few questions answered, maybe you can help! •How long do the oocysts survive in the soil? I've read...

Hi all, Just got a couple new chicks. About 6 weeks old. This was one of their poos. What do you think this could mean? Should u be concerned. They have only been eating fees, but also a lot of garden worms.

Thanks Junebuggena. Once again your chicken words of wisdom have put my worries to rest!

My 11 week old pullet Saturn HamFatter has lost a primary wing feather. Today I noticed another one looks like it's about to drop. Is this normal? She is not being picked on and shows no other signs of I'll health. Thanks.

So perhaps Butter Grumbles is just sharing. You did chick tidbit experiments in your kitchen Centrarchid, that would have been adorable to watch! Great info.
