Good Morning! How many eggs can a chicken lay in 24 hours? Okay so it started Monday. I have a chicken that lays no less than 6 eggs per week and from what I can tell she's the only one laying - I think... So here's the story, Sunday she (the chicken that lays 6 a week) laid an egg around...

Hi all! My chicken went from laying zero eggs to laying daily. Is it normal for a chicken to lay an egg every day? And if so how long does it last? I hope forever, because now that's she's used to laying she does it quietly and quickly.

Thank You, because I have 4 chickens and if this noise were to keep up I dunno if I'd be able to keep em...

Hi, is it normal that my chickens scream and get testy before they lay? 1 of mine just started this week and all week she's been testy about an hour before each laying time. I live on the Caribbean so we don't name our types of chickens they are just chickens at least in my village they don't...

Thank You!

Hi All, is there a way I can make my chickens lay eggs? I live in the 3rd World Caribbean and here we sell JUST food. Nothing special and no special names. Just food. I go to the corner feed store and ask for chicken food they ask corn or pellets - NO SPECIAL or Americanized mixes. I feed them...

What sort of things should I look for in my chickens? I don't know how to add pictures. Thanks Aoxa! As for coops in my country we don't build coops and I frankly cannot afford to have one shipped from the states because A.) No reliable mail service and B.) To get one privately shipped is about...

Hi All! I'm wondering: If I bring my chickens inside every night to sleep does that cause stress? In my country there are many predators that can and do find ways to break into the coops to kill/eat the chickens so I started bringing mine in the house and putting them in the spare room. Then I...

I broke my leg on Saturday and I ran out of feed today. I cannot drive and the feed store is 40 km away - NO cabs. My husband is away through Wednesday so I need to know what to give my 5 month old chickens until then. They've been eating tortilla cucumber beets & tomato but is that enough? I...

I feed it to them 3 times daily is that OK?

Thank You!

Is that normal?

Thank You. And to me it sounds more like a goose or a duck even not the regular peeping my others chickens make.

Hi! One of my 11 week old chickens is making the weirdest noise. It's like a nasally hacking sound sort of. It's odd and she does it all the time now. It's like she's crying or hurt of something. Any ideas?

My husband and I found 2 different stool piles of stool with blood. Is that normal? An oppossum got into my garbage and there was a lot of debris as I cleaned it I noticed she got a hold of a broken bone. I chased her through the yard trying to get it back but she was quick. Then the next day we...

Thanks again for all of the suggestions. We're just not going to go. A week is too long and my neighbors aren't the types to be invited into my home. Although these are MY people I'm still an American returning home after years and if you know anything about the 3rd World Americans aren't that...

Yes, it's the Caribbean but it's not like the Bahamas where you "make friends" and allow people into your home. And sadly there are no vets, 4 H, pet sitters or anthing available. Sadly we don't have all the great luxuries here as you do there. This is very 3rd World and and can be quite...

Thank you for your quick responses!!! But yikes, I think it best I call my sister and tell her we can't be in her wedding. I don't live in the United States and frankly I don't know my neighbors. I just made 2 automatic feeders that can't be tipped and food can't be scratched out. Plus I have a...

My husband and I have a wedding to attend in 9 weeks. We have no one who can care for our chickens what should we do to prep them for 7 days alone?

Whew great thank you for the responses. I've never raised anything before so I'm like a new mom - sort of;)
