Hello Everyone! Does anyone happen to know if it's possible for a chicken to lay very small eggs, and then suddenly lay larger ones? I have a sweet chicken, approx. 1.5 years old, and she has been acting funny lately. A vet gave her calcium liquid, and stated that was probably the cause. Today I...
Posted a number of days ago regarding a sweet hen that suddenly became sick. It wasn't clear what was wrong. She rests in the nesting box mostly, and came out once, but squawked like she was in pain. - I was able to find a chicken vet in Longmont, and they immediately placed my chicken on liquid...
Hello everyone! Can someone please help me to understand what is going on with one of my sweet chickens? She stayed in her nesting box most of the day, so I placed food next to her so she would eat something. Then she came out, ate a little bit more, and would squawk, as if she was in pain. Is...
Hi DobieLover, I am so sorry that I called you aart! I saw that somewhere in the response email that I received. Caught my mistake and went to write you, but my computer decided to act up at that moment. Thank you again for your helpful links! Much appreciated!!

Beautiful chicken and I am so very sorry to hear of the situation. I believe she will be ok, and pray for her recovery. Wish I had the answer for you, but I am still learning. Chickens are such wonderful and amazing creatures, which I never knew. They are such loving birds... Pls. know that I...
Aww, thank you so much Stacy! I'm still learning about so many things... Still trying to find someone to build me an insulated coop or find one on line, but so far, it's been a frustrating adventure. I know that things will work out though and one day the chickens will have a castle. :P Lots of...
Thanks for the well wishes! Everyone here seems so nice and has good information to share. Wanted to ask, how much salt do you use? I would like to the 3 methods that people were kind enough to provide, and salt would probably be the thing that I would have most on hand. I don't use very much...
Thank you so much! Sounds like an interesting a good idea. Wondering, do the chickens try and eat the peanut hulls and do they keep the chickens warm? I do appreciate your idea!!
