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

Easy to read and understand. Since my pullets are now within the laying age range, I check this article out (and their butts) frequently!

Nicely illustrated with great laymen (haha) style write up. Great for a newbie chicken chick like me.
I would like to know from where the skeletal illustration can be found. I am curious to know the other structure labels.

Excellent with clear illustrations to help us understand. thank you! Very helpful. Bookmarked.

Thank you! The illustrations are very helpful.

Now I just need you to come do it for me! lol.

Very informative accurate and easy to understand, thank you from Bda.

Very helpful! When you have several pullets the same age it’s hard to tell who’s doing what. This is one reason I have a flock of mixed breeds laying various colored eggs. That limits the variables!

This helped a LOT! My young Orpingtons are all laying. One of them lays a LOT of double-yolked eggs, maybe 2 a week, but it's slowing down a bit. I even had one triple-yolk!! There's still the odd shell-less egg, so I've upped the amount of toasted eggshell available. They don't seem to like powdered calcium supplements & no oyster shell is available here.

Thank you for this! Very helpful.

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!

Great with explaining exactly what to look for! Thank you! Bookmarking this for future reference and sharing.

This is one of the more informative and helpful articles on chickens I have seen and I’ve had chickens for years and years. Now if you could tell me why my first and best layer has recently
started dropping her eggs from the roost!
Thank you
