    No eggs in three weeks now molting and feeling thinner

    Thank you. I need some reassurance that they were ok that I'm worrying for nothing. My girls are 8-10 months old and are my babies. This is their (and mine)first winter. I didn't know that they could go through a molt in the middle of it. Poor Gwen.

    No eggs in three weeks now molting and feeling thinner

    The scabs of my EE were on the bottom of her feet. I put some VetRX on her legs anyways just in case. Their behavior hasn't changed at all. My buttercup layed an egg today, first since September. She was never a good layer anyway maybe 2 a week. the molting on my EE looks worse today and a cold...

    No eggs in three weeks now molting and feeling thinner

    My favorite Easter egger has not layed an egg in over three weeks. About that time I had to rehome my silkie rooster, he crowed constantly and we live in a neighborhood. A week later I noticed black scabs on her feet so I treated her for bumblefoot. While treating her I noticed she felt a lot...

    Strange hen?

    Thank you! She does look to be a Sicilian buttercup. Now we know who lays the tiny white eggs. Her temperament and coloring are exactly what is described. Thank you!

    Strange hen?

    She is over a year old I don't think it's strange that the rooster mounts her I just figured she was a hen because he was mounting her. She is very small about half the size of her other hens that were bought with her at the local Feedstore. She is the only hen with a V-shaped home and spurs...

    Strange hen?

    While visiting my mother and seeing her flock she has a small hen that is supposed to be a Sussex chicken. This hen is growing spurs, has a V shaped comb and is super flighty. She stays away from all of the other chickens but the rooster tries to mount her and we do not know if she has laid...

    Black Aussie pullet or cockerel

    Well we have named him bob and we will keep him for now. At least for a few more weeks. Then he will go to the flea market to an older couple that sell chickens and host pony rides.

    Black Aussie pullet or cockerel

    2 weeks ago I picked up 3 black australorps from a poultry farm. He was 95% sure all 3 were pullets, but 1 has a more developed comb and waddle. It was already developed when we got them but he had another obvious cockerel the same age, so we felt it was ok to take this one as a pullet now I'm...
