Thank you everybody. All chickies eat healthy. We make a formula. I think her poor vent wasn't used to it after so long. It didn't look like pecking. Why would she lay after such a long dormant?

My old Americauna hen stopped laying a year ago. No problem. She is a pet. Today she laid a beautiful green egg again, but it was bloody along with her butt. I cleaned her butt. Husband went to see her an hour later and she was fine. I'm thinking she may have been egg bound or prolapsed. She's...

Hens are broody for about 3 weeks. Just make sure you give them enough food and water. Broody is normal for hens, some more than others

A normal chicken is 6 months old before they start laying you don't need a fake egg

She gave eggs for a while before broodiness. Her comb is red.

I mean lays every day... stupid autocorrect on speak text:(

Thank you for help she is still not laying and our pullets have started laying they are not kids anymore I guess this one will just be decorative until she gets out of her funk. she is acting like a normal chicken just not laying. On the upside we refer to our Americauna as old faithful because...

One of my girls (breed unk) was broody two nonths ago. A month later, she came out of it. She has also stopped laying eggs completely. We have 5 and she is the only one who wont lay. Its hot out, but they have fans on the coop. Whats up with her? The only reason she isnt bbq is I just dont have...

giving my chickens oyster shell helped quite a bit as far as shell consistency. cheese and greens are good for calcium. for the ones who are not laying at all they are probably broody. they will not lay for a month they want to be mothers but at this time they cannot lay eggs ironic

My broody silkie has started a new movement. We were getting three eggs a day one from her one from my Easter Egger and one from a chicken who just started laying. My silkie is one week away from not being broody anymore. However my two orps sit near her by the nesting boxes and the one who just...

I thought my silky was broody so I stuck her butt in cool water twice today and it didn't work I noticed one of her wings felt kind of dry and there are some feathers in the coop she sits in a nesting box all day with no eggs she has stopped producing am I correct in rethinking this that she is...

My Silkie is very broody past few days. I take other hens eggs away from her quickly and she comes down to eat and drink. Soaking her butt and putting her in a crate seem cruel. I can't let her loose. We have hawks. Help pleeeeese.

I meant thank you for advice stupid autocorrect

thank you everyone for a nice time my big beautiful bird I think she is an Easter Egger green eggs everyday and is even bigger now than the picture

Thank you. she seems to be ok she likes me to hold her and talk to her. I will just let her sit in the nest box she does come down occasionally mainly for scratch
