    How to stop egg laying

    We really don't deserve animals! Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it... My oldest girl Clover was a rescue at 4 days old, so she has had a life of luxury so far, ( she'll be 2 in November) and daisy was 10 weeks when I got her, but has just not stopped laying. I'm going to have...

    How to stop egg laying

    Wow, thank you so much and I'm sorry your girl is having such a tough time. Do you think these are all side effects from the implant? Daisy isn't even a year old yet, I'm so nervous to do something so extreme, but I really don't want her to go through EYP again. It was terrible for her. It's...

    How to stop egg laying

    My sebright doesn't go broody at all, she goes straight into lay when my other girl is broody.. So keeping them apart in the past has helped keep her off lay. My big concern is that her little body isn't strong enough yet to handle another stretch of laying. For an infertile breed of chicken...

    How to stop egg laying

    Thanks so much, I may contain her in the dark in their bedroom( yes, their own bedroom for chilly days and nights) it's autumn here now, so hopefully I can keep her off until winter sets in

    How to stop egg laying

    Hi all, I know this is going to sound a little crazy, but does anyone have any advice on how to stop a chicken from laying eggs? My silver sebright Daisy, is still recovering from EYP. She is still having regular vet visits as her uterus area is still swollen and is still on medication. She...

    Silver Sebright Sexing

    Hi all, I know this is an old thread but it's perfect! I have just been to a breeder and got a sebright chick. It's about 10 days old. Is there anyone that would be able to tell me how its Male or female? He says the best is to vent sex, but the vet I usually go to is away. Any help would be...

    1st time broody hen

    Yes, they have agreed to take them back, they gave me 6 and it took her all of 5 min to pull them in and sit on them. She has got free reign of the garden and house for 90% of the day, she is very seldom locked away in it. Only when I'm out and i work from home, so it's not often at all

    1st time broody hen

    Hi, I am in cape town, south africa, it's pretty close to mid winter now. Yes, I still only have clover, but I am looking for someone that has healthy chickens to get her a friend. I am a little fussy when it comes to adding any bits in with my baby. Shes more of a house pet than a backyard...

    1st time broody hen

    Hi everyone, So I think my girl is broody for the first time. I've been reading through all the threads, and all the signs are there. She is now almost 9 months old and been laying almost everyday for a month or so, and suddenly decided her nest box was the best place to be. She has a custom...

    Looking for advice

    Hi all, I am very new to chickens and their needs. 4 more ths ago I rescued a chick that was a few days old. She bonded with me and never left my side, she slept mostly on me or right next to me under a scarf. She has never been with other chickens and has always been an inside bird. She come...
