it's time then they will go in the nesting box on their own after you opened the nesting box for use

i also have 2 eggs that were stepped/pecked at remove the eggs as soon as you can will help also try to leave golf balls in the nesting boxes.. it will help the layers know where to lay plus to train them not to peck at the eggs if you remove the eggs shortly after laying and leaving only...

i don't remember the exact week # but maybe around 16-17 weeks ?? my family brought the hens home on 4/3/2016.. they are already this old one of the hens started laying on 7/14/2016 .. the rest of them started laying around 2 weeks or so after i switched over to layer feed

i thought hens are pretty quite.. but i thought wrong i gave up after trying to train them not to make those really loud noises (not the normal clucking sounds).. but it was no use letting them out all day is not a good idea either.. now they are eating the plants on the sides of my house...

i don't know a lot about chicken breed. so beside the leghorn.. the other 4 chickens are dual breeds? i picked up one of the brown ones.. she's pretty light.. hardly any meat on her so if they are skinny like the leghorn then they are layers (for eggs chickens) ? chickens destroyers of...

you know a lot about chickens aren't you? thank you for the value information :) australorp?. that's the black one right?.. easy going ? i can pick up the other 3.. she will run as i got close well.. now they probably remember my face so they don't run anymore so my leghorn's eggs...

one of my hens started laying a few weeks ago.. but her eggs are still small compare to the store bought eggs.. will it take months to reach full size? leghorns ? my leghorn's eggs are pretty the extra small.. size wise she's 1/2 the size of the other 4..

i looked up the breeds you mentioned.. honestly.. i can't tell the difference between the two at all.. without looking at the feet.. now that i look at the feet more closely i think it's slight yellowish (that picture was not a good picture finally got this many eggs at once.. this is the...

i checked the legs.... but i'm still not sure on this

i think starter vs grower the only difference is the lower protein % for layer.. i noticed.. an even lower protein % but added in calcium and ash

we don't have grower here (at least at the stores i bought the feeds from) so starter feed -->then layer feed for my hens since the other 4 are younger so i keep the laying hen on starter feed as well for another 2+ weeks. from what i noticed they will not lay their eggs in the morning for...

i started raising chicken on 4/2016 when my family brought them home i think they are 1-2+ weeks old ?.. i put them outside in the yard the next morning four of my hens started to lay 3-4 days ago while one started 2-3 weeks ago from what i noticed when i switched over to layer feed...

thanks i didn't know that i'll check it later today honestly.. at first i thought it would be a black egg.. since it's a black chicken and all..

i think all 5 of my chickens are laying now how can you tell which egg is from a black hen?

at the moment i'm not sure which hen it was but no egg problem from my leghorn (beside) the pecked egg the first time.. but putting the nesting box right in the coop helped.. for leghorn eggs are pretty small in comparison to the other hens'.. my 1st hen started laying about 2+ now or so...

so it's not due to the heat or lack of calcium ?

my family collected these eggs today clearly one of the hens didn't get enough calcium.. no more pecked egg when i put the nesting boxes in..

yes. right on the coop's floor They didn't lay any egg yesterday so i'm not sure what is going on at the moment the leghorn is the smallest.. so i don't know this is a form of bullying from the other chickens?

my remaining hens started to do squats 1 week or so now I used up all the starter feed so i switched over to the layer feed 2-3 days ago i got my first egg from my leghorn.. but :/ i'll try to put the nesting boxes back in the coop again.. not sure if it's egg eating problem or...
