Do you offer a calcium supplement such as crushed oyster shells? Hen's require quite a bit of calcium to produce hard egg shells. Maybe she's laying and the shell is so thin it cracks under her? As for your prediction here is someone with a similar problem and other people's solution...
I'v every seen all these eggs from my hens from time to time especially in their first few dozen and I remember asking the same questions,one told me they were normal. Though I'm not an expert my hens also started out with the funky smaller eggs and yes they're laying has normalised over the...
Hi all,
Today I was visiting the chickens and one of my hens is extremely lethargic- I was putting them out in the garden so they could have a scratch around and she didn’t run from me when I tried to pick her up (extremely unusual). Upon further inspection She has yellow poo dried on her...
Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has a diy flock block that they'd be willing to share with me! I've tried a bunch of the recipes i've found online but for some reason the chickens wont touch them?
thanks in advance

My hen has a purple comb, an empty crop and inst eating or drink anything. There is also a very fowl liquid coming out of her vent. There was also something white that looked hard-ish coming out of her but. We're thinking an egg exploded in her but is it something else. This is my first major...
How do you guys give more proteins into your hens? Is there something you put in the water or give them something more? I don’t know I just feel like they need more protein because since we’ve put the pin less peepers we’ve seen some feathers but it’s pretty slow. So what do you do?
Make sure those silkies have access to the outdoors! Also make sure you do a lot of research chickens are meant to be outside so keeping them inside takes more attention. I've heard of people training their chickens to poop in one spot but there's a ton of chicken diapers on amazon. As for the...
