thank you all for the replies, they are a decent weight, and egg production is good. The diarrhea has been pretty consistent since days old...so about 10 months straight. During summer I thought maybe heat, but obviously that's not the case now. I have always offered probiotics but only inside...

So I am posting this here for some local input. I have 2 hens that are just shy of a year old. They seem healthy and happy, but they have seriously had diarrhea nearly the entire time we have had them. It seems to be worse lately. Could this be worms? Since it's been so long, wouldn't they be...

I can't wait to find out!! Good luck!

M my EEs started at 18 weeks! It can happen anytime!

I am so excited to do this tomorrow!!

Once a chicken starts laying, do they lay everyday right away? Or may they skip a day occasionally at first? I had a chicken lay eggs 2 days in a row, but now I'm on day 2 of no eggs.

wooo hoo! Finally got our first egg! I have 2 EEs, so I'm still waiting on the other to lay. But I'm not sure who laid this one...oh well, at least I got my egg!!

Thanks for the reply! That's what I'm hoping, I just didn't realize they would molt so young?

This is my 19 week old chicken. She is an EE, and did have a small beard. Today I noticed that nearly all her beard feathers and some neck feathers are missing. This has happened within the last two or three days. I also noticed her ears have turned colors as well. I only have one other...

Yes, she is in the nesting box.

No, there is 6 hens and a rooster but these ones are both hens.

Could anyone explain this behavior to me? It seems mean to me. The chicken on the bottom is the head hen, so I don't know why she is putting up with it. Could she be sick?

I have a bag of Purina medicated chick starter that I purchased in April. My chicks refused to eat it, so it is basically a full 25 lb bag...maybe 23 lbs. We won't (hopefully) have chicks in the near future, as we hope our 2 will live a long life. If anyone is interested in picking it up in...

I do not recall what brand I got, but I'm sure all of those would be great!

These are theeeee cutest piggies ever!

I'm gonna guess rooster.

This one could possibly be an ee as well, with those green legs. Her comb isn't too big, I'd say its the size of my ee pullets at 8 weeks.

I wouldn't have a guess for gender until I knew what breed it was. That is for sure not a BO.

Both are pullets. Very pretty!

Definitely a pullet!
