We are new to raising chickens so please bare with me. We have an EE that won't leave her nesting box. She isn't sitting on an egg so I don't think she is broody. When she goes out of the coop the other chickens peck her and won't let her eat or drink. She is losing feathers and is bleeding...

Is it normal for a hen to sing the "egg song" but yet to lay an egg? I have a RIR that does the song a few times a day for about a week now but no egg ????? I think my girls are trying to drive me crazy. :P Thanks, Angel

Everytime our EE lays her egg (she has only laid 3) she sits on the egg and won't leave. I have to pick her up and take the egg. She gets upset but doesn't peck at me which I hope she won't start doing. What can I do if anything? Does this mean she is broody? This is our first time raising...

Our first egg from our EE.... :D now we have 4 out of 9 laying. It took her over 2 hours to lay this tiny egg and then she wanted to sit on it and got mad at me for taking it :fl she cursed at me for 5 mins. I hope she doesn't always do this. She is my favorite. She is so loving and comes...

This morning my husband went to let the girls out of the coop and found an egg that was soft and translucent. Is this normal for a first egg? We have one other hen that has been laying since the 13th but they have all been normal eggs. Also this new egg wasn't in the nesting box. Our White...

Our white leghorn (16weeks) laid her first egg on the 13th. She didn't lay the 14th (which I figured) she laid on the 15th and late in the day on the 16th. She hasn't laid another egg since. I know she is not goind to lay daily or every other day until she adjusts but is it normal to go 5...

She layed her first egg on July 13th. No egg the 14th, 15th an egg, the 16th an egg but later in the day. Now it's been 2 days with no eggs. I check often because I love finding an egg but nothing. :( I think she is messing with me. Angel

Well we have gotten 3 eggs from our white leghorn. She skipped one day but we have gotten two eggs in 2 days:D. The only thing that concerns me is they are very small. Will they get bigger the more she lays? We are new to this and really don't know what to expect. I get so excited to hear...

We got our first egg yesterday morning from one of our white leghorn:) We are so excited to get an egg. Being this is all new to us :D It was small (I will post a picture) I couldn't wait to see another egg today but nothing:/ no egg. She is young so could it be a while before she starts to...

We have 9 hens (had 10 but she turned out to be a he) they are 13 weeks. When do we open the nesting boxes? I know they won't be laying for a while but I don't know if we need to open the boxes now so they can get used to them or wait? Thanks, Angel

Had to give my roo to a friend so I am hoping the rest are hens. Hopefully I can post more than one picture They are 13 weeks

I hated to see him go but he went to a good home. He was a pretty roo, but we can't have roosters here.... :-(

I tried to post more pictures but for some reason it won't let me. This on is a 12 week old RIR

Well, from the sounds coming from the hen house this morning, we may have a rooster lurking amonst our hens. They are approximately 12 weeks old and we heard what sounded like crowing. Any idea if this wyandotte could be the culprit?p
