OK, quick backstory... got my first 4 hens( 2 -ee, 2-rsl) end of April, they were approx. 3 months old, and they all started laying at about 5 1/2 month. All seems normal with them. End of May I got 2 more hens, barred rocks, approx. 2 1/2 months old. At about 5 1/2 or 6 months old, one started...

When my red sex link started laying last week, she layed an egg 4 days straight. Today is now the fourth day with no egg. Is this normal for new layers?

Our 2 red sex link hens have damp matted dirt under their wings. You really can't see it unless you pick them up and lift their wings. Just wondering if this is normal? We have had some rain recently, so maybe they took a dirt bath when it was wet/damp? Has anyone else seen this on their hens...

Getting everything ready to start raising chickens this summer. Just checking in to say hello. I am heading to work in a couple minutes, so this post will be short, but I will have lots and lots of questions for every one in the near future. Quick overview - I have a 15' x 15' dog pen, which...
