    I'm at my wit's end with one of my flock. My Wellsummer pullet (1 year old) is becoming a serious nuisance from a noise perspective. She loudly "crows" way more than what I consider to be acceptable for my backyard (read: neighbors) environment. This goes on for several hours every morning...

    EE hen started laying then stopped?

    EE hen started laying then stopped?

    Glad to see I'm not the only one that had this happen with an EE. Our EE started laying in mid-September...5 eggs a week or so, then stopped cold turkey in the beginning of December. She appears to have gone through a molt, which I thought was a bit unusual for a pullet. No eggs since. :(...

    Well, when we got the chicks, we were told that she was an Ameraucana...but she could be a generic EE mutt. She has mottled white and gray plumage, a tiny comb, and a nonexistent wattle. She laid her first (blue) egg on Sept 11, 2011, and quit laying sometime in early December (I didn't...

    Hello all. We live just north of the city (Fort Collins), and have had our chickens for about 10 months now. We have four hens: a Welsummer, Barred Rock, Ameraucana, and a Rhode Island (or maybe NH) Red. My wife bugged me for years to get chickens, and I finally succumbed to the pressure last...
