    New hen won't leave the coop in the morning!

    I appreciate your answers so much and I love the humor in the chicken owner world :-) Thank you. p.s. She is young, I had the fertilized eggs shipped to my mom-in-law and one of her hens hatched her!

    New hen won't leave the coop in the morning!

    We introduced a new single hen to our existing brood of three hens. All are the same ages (five months) and size. Our new gal was introduced in a secure area during the day, then put in at night to sleep with the original three. It has only been four days, things are going well, just one...

    Ameraucana Blue Wheaton on Strike! No eggs in 10 weeks!

    She has not laid an egg since THIS past August (therefore it's been about three months). She was hatched July 1st, 2013, so she's young! She is not laying internally.... no lumps at the vent. I have a feeling there is so much experience on this forum, that a vet may not be able to give me any...

    Ameraucana Blue Wheaton on Strike! No eggs in 10 weeks!

    I have just learned that Blondies two sisters that are owned by another family just 20 minutes away are still laying. They are the same breed/age. Any more ideas on what I should expect?

    Ameraucana Blue Wheaton on Strike! No eggs in 10 weeks!

    I'm not sure there's an answer but out of our five hens, Blondie is the only one that lays a blue egg.... so I know she's the one not producing. She's only 1 year 3 months old and until she went on strike she gave us 2-3 eggs/week. I would consider the shorter days as a good excuse, but it's...

    Broody Copper Marans for 9 weeks now!

    I ended up putting ice packs in all three of the nesting boxes over night to discourage any more broodiness then removed them the next morning so the other girls could lay eggs in their regular spots. It took two nights of that to get our Marans to give up and start acting like a foraging hen...

    Broody Copper Marans for 9 weeks now!

    My broody Marans began being broody nine+ weeks ago. I had fertilized eggs shipped to me since I felt sorry for her. That was 22 days ago, and no signs of chicks (I think bad packaging had something to do with it). When will she stop? Should I take the unhatched eggs from her? Will my...
