I know this is a late reply ut if you still need someone to take care of your chicks, I live nearby in Richmond. Let me know. Hope things are going better for you.
In just a few days I have had such great information from BYC. Thank you all. It is reassuring to know that my girls are not going to be baldies forever!:|:|
Out of 8 1-2 year olds I am getting 1, maybe 2 eggs/day for about the past 4 weeks. Do they start up laying again after the feathers...
I examined her really thoroughly before I buried her and there was nothing...She was inside, on the floor of the coop.
I have had a black snake occasionally looking for eggs and a fox and raccoon before but those injuries were very obvious.
I appreciate your input. I am so hoping that it isn't...
This was great timing! My girls seem to be in a moult phase. I am going to get the black oil seed to them now. I don't have a cat but will get catfood & try that too. THANKS
Hello. I am new to the site as of today.
Yesterday I found a 5 month old barred rock dead in the coop around 5 in the evening. I am (quite sure) she had been out with the others during the day and gave me no cause for concern. No marks or evidence of foul play.
All 11 of the others seem fine...
