This is happening on only two out of six of my chickens. I do not have a rooster, haven’t been able to see any mites and separated one that could possibly be a feather picker but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Has anyone run into this or have any other ideas.
Austra white
Blue americana
White crested black polish
Olive egger
Black copper maran
They have a large run and do free range some, been on layer since 18 weeks. And for treats some veggies,mealworms and scratch but only randomly
I have 6 30 week old chickens all different breeds and none of them are laying yet. I had two briefly lay a couple eggs about a month ago then nothing. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or what I can do differently? I feed them Dumor layer feed
She is about 2 years old and no her shells have always been good. This started about a month and a half or so. I live in Massachusetts and this is happening now(July). I feed them nature’s best organic layer feed.
I have one chicken where the eggs seem to always be broken and the shells are very weak. The other chickens lay fine and they all have access to oyster shells. Any ideas on what I can do?
I have 5 2 year old hens in one coop and I have 6 9 week old hens in a coop right next to them. They always see each other but when is it a good idea to let them free range together outside of their runs?
