I have an Australorp that is at least 1.5 years old. She is bigger than all the other Australorps I have and is as big as my Brahma or even larger. A couple days ago, I noticed that when I felt her crop it didn't seem normal, at least to me. It was loose almost and felt squishy. I'm not sure if...

Right now, I pay $15 for a 50lb bag of organic feed. I don't have a pic of the label but I know it has oats, molasses, cracked corn, and 16% protein. It also has some other stuff. Does that provide them enough for them to lay? I do feed mealworms which is 53% protein. Also, my dad thinks that...

I have 4 red stars. One of them is laying and the other three aren't. I am not sure if they are molting or not anymore. I had made a thread on that 2 weeks ago, and I haven't seen changes in feathers since then. Also, wouldn't a molting hen have a shriveled dry comb/wattles? These guys have...

When do they start to lay after moving? I have 15 chickens in my flock. I have 4 that are laying and 6-21 week old chicks that aren't, and one 21 week old rooster. I recently bought 4 1-2 year old Red Star hens. I have had them for a week and only one is laying. They all seem to be getting a...
