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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

Earlier I sprayed bug spray around the windows of my house and since my chickens have the run of the backyard sometimes when I walk outside they try to run in. One of my chickens 9 weeks old ate a dead fly that had to have died from me spraying the window. Will she be OK or will she get sick?

Hi! How can I tell if my chickens lay eggs with baby chicks or without?

When can I first clip the wings of my chickens? I think they may be almost 8 weeks old and they are into everything. I'd like to clip their wings so they can stay closer to the ground.

I live in S. America and all of the items (incubators/food/& other miscellanea things) are not available to me here. However 3.5 weeks ago I purchased 4 baby chicks - not sure of ages or breeds because here it's not so much a hobby as it is a way of life. However the chicks were kept in a...
