    How long will molting last and when will egg production pick up?

    It's been decided then - NO - lights for the girls. I can settle for less egg production so they are around longer. My neighbors already tell me that when I am 'ready' to replace them to let them know - they will take them off my hands. I don't name my food - so I won't consume them & they...

    Is it winter or is it worms?

    I hope this doesn't sound dumb, but I just capture the hen and squirt solution down her throat? It does seem like the perfect 'yearly' time to do it if we aren't getting any eggs anyway! Jo

    How long will molting last and when will egg production pick up?

    The massive loss of feathers seen the last 2-3 weeks has slowed down. Still I see new feathers in pen daily but hut huge amounts. I am glad this is just molting. I picked up 2 of them and saw the new ones starting to poke thru. I got so used to getting eggs daily......hope they start up...

    Hi, I am now a little over a year into my 3 hen coop. I was having great production from my Buff Orpington, Jersey Giant and my Silver-laced Wyandotte until a little over 2 weeks ago. Jersey started pulling her feathers, and then the Wyandotte, and then the Orp. I think they are done...

    CHICKEN WITH WORMS.. I did not know chicken got worms!!!

    I am a total newbie to chickens. Started my couple one year ago, so my chickens are about 15 months old. Never noticed worms in poop, but never really stared at the poop when I scooped, for very long! I'll see wiggly stuff, huh? Oh gees, something else to worry about! I only have 3 hens...
