    Wormed the flock, no eggs in days.

    So I wormed my flock with Wazine recently (4 days ago). Since that time none of my 6 hens have layed a single egg. Is this normal?

    Still no clue on breed

    Black sex link (star, comet) is what some others were saying too. Just glad to know what she is so I can stop calling her mystery chicken!

    Never did this so

    I'm Patrick. I live just about as close to downtown Raleigh as you can without being in Downtown. I have a small flock (6 birds) and raise mainly for eggs. We have a Bantam Rhode Island Red (Scarlet), Bantam Barred Rock (Priscilla), Old English Game Hen (Dana), Red Sex Link (Porkchop)...

    Still no clue on breed

    So this is Dynasty. I have no clue what breed, if any, she is. I have no clue as to her origin, other than judging by her age, she was either bought as a specific breed, or came from a mail order.

    Fallen on hard times with WAY too many birds in NC.

    I posted the wrong email. It's just [email protected] And she may have decided to keep more of the birds, gotten rid of many since the last time I talked to her (before the holidays), or may have just been referencing the chickens. The 1000+ number was ALL the fowl she had. Either way I hope...

    Fallen on hard times with WAY too many birds in NC.

    I was in contact with her tonight and she said for anyone to feel free to contact her directly. Her email is: [email protected] Her name is Yvette Streahle (pronounced Stray-Lee) Thanks again for all your help guys!

    Fallen on hard times with WAY too many birds in NC.

    Don't know if this is the right category but here goes. I recently expanded my flock by three birds. I got them from a woman and this is her story. She's a retired civil engineer from New Jersey who moved to Sanford, NC. She began raising fowl as a hobby and it grew to where she now has...

    Few new chickens... not sure what they are...

    Quote: The blacker one is most def a Barnevelder. I found a picture of one that looks EXACTLY like her. The other one doesn't have penciled feathers. I think it's the flash making them look like that. Thanks everyone for all your help!

    Few new chickens... not sure what they are...

    I know the Red lays every day. The black and unknown... I haven't caught either one of them in the act of laying yet, but one of them is laying a HUGE dark brown egg. Unknown chicken egg at the top, then red sex-link, then bantam RIR, then OEG, then the second egg my Barred Rock ever layed...

    Few new chickens... not sure what they are...

    These may be mutt chickens. I think one is a Buff Orpington. At least the lady who gave them to us said it was. This is the possible orpington. These are the two I have no clue about.

    Normal Brooding behavior?

    So I believe my RIR bantam has gone broody. She's been my most consistent layer since we got her (4 months ago) but 6 days ago she went to the nest and hasn't left since. I assume she's eating and drinking since she's still alive. I guess she's brooding. But that's not my question. She's...

    Easter egger pullet broody after laying only 3 eggs?

    Glad your hen wasn't going broody, but on this note my Barred Rock Bantam is doing almost this exact same thing. She just started laying last week and now she'll go into the nest box, even after she's layed her egg, and 'play house'. She'll get in there, tuck the fake egg underneath her...
