Who is Laying.....and Who is Not? Butt Check!

Thanks so much! I will try this out!

Great article! I now know my two Jackies are laying!

I only have two hens. Julie, EASTER Egger, Jill, Silver laced Wyandotte. Julie had vent glute. Is recovered. Both stopped laying for about two months now. Jill is molting. My rooster, Cocoa is a copper Silkie. They’re all about 4 years old.

Fantastic info, well written.

this was a great help. We have 14 chickens and are getting avg. 9 or 10


eggs a day.We love our chickens. We lost 1 chicken and it was hard.

This information is very helpful to me, Thank You!

This is excellent information and explains why I sometimes get double yolk eggs!

Very informative! Love the diagram.

Thank you so much for this article, I have 6 hens and am new to this whole thing. One of my girls just started laying and was acting weird, and seemed distressed, so it is reassuring to know that this can be normal when they first start laying. The video link was great, too. Please write more on any chicken issue if you have the time and inclination. Much Appreciated, Cheers!

Really well written and concise article about how to tell if your chickens are laying! You hear about gauging with your fingers but this provides clear instructions!

Since I am new to raising chickens, this information was a perfect learning moment. The short demonstration was very clear and understandable. The drawings were spot on. I definitely feel more comfortable about knowing when to start looking for eggs.
