    One breed stopped laying?

    I have 11 chickens (3 EEs, 3 BRs, 3 BOs, and 2 RIRs). They are about 6 months old and started laying around August 12th (my son's bday so I remember exactly! Lol). I was getting anywhere from 5-9 eggs a day with 2 or so of those coming from my Easter Eggers... But over the last week or so, I...

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    I'm with you, sniperscottie. If I find out that they are eating eggs, we will have chicken and noodles for dinner :)

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    Trail can didn't show anything :/ I have still been getting 1-2 eggs/day from my 8 hens and none from the Easter eggers.

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    Live traps were my first thought, but we have barn cats and it's not going to do me any good to trap them...Trail cam came up with nothing, and I had the same two eggs that were in there last night. I'm stumped!

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    Could be, if they are eating the whole thing in the coop, but there's no evidence. I'll look at the trail cam footage tonight and hopefully have an answer!

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    I should also add that I seem to be going through more chicken feed than normal, and my girls all huddle together on the floor instead of roosting or hanging out on the nesting boxes...another reason I think it's a critter.

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    Thanks but no, they are cooped up so there are no hiding places. They have one nest under the nesting boxes, but there aren't eggs down there anymore either :( DH and I set up the trail cam tonight to see what we can see...

    Eggs have disappeared! Help!

    I have 8 hens (3 EEs, 2 Buffs, 3 Dominiques) and a Buff rooster. They are all about 7 months old, and I have been getting about 4-6 eggs/day for the last couple months. About a week ago, their production decreased drastically and now I am only getting 2 eggs every 3 days or so. The coop is...

    What to do with 4 year old chickens?

    The food coloring on the hens' vents is a great idea...I have never heard of that! These chickens were not socialized very well...I hardly touch them and they flutter all around. I tried to pet one of the hens last night and one of the roosters came after me with his spurs. (He might be the...

    When do chickens lay?

    I just inherited ten 4-year old hens and two roosters that came with the farm we bought, and they only lay in the afternoon.

    What to do with 4 year old chickens?

    My fiance and I just bought a farm, and with the farm came 10 hens and 2 roosters. The previous owners say that they are all about 4 years old, and I am getting a total of about 1 egg per day. I have ordered new chicks to start my new flock, but I am exploring the options of what to do with...
