    Plymouth Rock Young Hen in Need of Free Range Home

    Cruella is a 4mo Plymouth/Barred Rock girl who would be much happier living a free range life. She is located 25mi NW of Boston, MA and she is free if you have the right situation for her. I cannot free range my few girls because my property backs up to a National Wildlife Preserve and my yard...

    Black Astralorp stopped laying

    Surprise! Claire, Black Astralorp egg today! I started giving them cooked oatmeal, thawed frozen maine blueberries and a dollop of greek yogurt a few days ago as an afternoon treat. Have no idea if that is what turned the faucet back on but I'll go with it. Would you call this a "tan" or...

    Miss Lydia, Thanks for your response. Gives me hope! Will still take a look at her vent area to make sure nothing is amiss there but I doubt it.

    Black Astralorp stopped laying

    Hi Aart, I will take a look at the "nether" tomorrow. She is the sweetest and tamest of my 3 hens. No I don't free range, too many hawks and coy-wolves in the conservation land we back up to. She has been a spectacular layer for her first 2 years and was the first to lay after they'd all...

    She went through her full molt over the winter. She has some pin feathers still on her head but she was laying then stopped.

    Review by '' on item 'Plastic 1 Quart Jar Waterer'

    I only have 3 or 4 chickens at a time and this is my go-to waterer. Easy to clean and change.

    Black Astralorp stopped laying

    My wonderful layer a coming 3yo Black Astralorp has stopped laying all of a sudden. She is not moulting. She started laying mid-February, nice big eggs at about 3-4 eggs/week then in the past 2.5 weeks she hasn't lay an egg at all. Her hen mates, an Ameraucan of the same age is laying her...

    Red sex link health issues

    I have a Red Sex Link I bought as a 6mo pullet and she was a great egg producer until she entered her first molt at just before 2 years of age. After that or during the tail end of that (wasn't a molt like my other hens though!) which coincided with longer days here in MA, March of this year...
