    My chickens stopped laying eggs but are too young to be done

    I have this exact same problem. I had three broody's over the summer then they started molting. I have 14 egg laying hens and a pullet too young yet. Is there a super protein boost or something I can do? I sprout mung beans and feed daily along with layer feed.

    This chick was injured by a child. There is a flesh wound on it's belly that I think will be okay. My concern in the left leg. It can't walk on it and uses its wing as a support to maneuver. It doesn't look obviously broken. Could it be dislocated? Not sure how to help this chick. It is...

    Hen or Roo ?

    A large comb doesn't necessarily mean that it's a rooster. Do you know the breed?

    Pipping is what you hear when the chick starts the process of hatching.

    Big Bird and her chick are doing well. She is very protective and still sitting on the remaining eggs. I am trying to stay out of it and just see what happens. Thanks Leah
