    Soft shell egg, 1st time.

    Tonight we went out to secure the girls in their coop. 2 were still outside and one was posturing like we've never seen before. I said to my husband that she appeared constipated. The other hen was circling her and nosing around her rear end. Then after a few times of her odd posture out popped...

    1 yr old Barred Rock hen -white poopy butt-sleep standing-4 days now

    Hi, that's ok- it was a busy time evidently. She's doing better but still not laying. We've put her back outside with the others. Never gave her the dewormer. I still don't feel like they're 100%. An old farmer friend of the family said spring is a crazy time for them. Idk. Thank you 🙂

    1 yr old Barred Rock hen -white poopy butt-sleep standing-4 days now

    Hello, as stated above our girl Carrie is not herself. Was staying away from our other 3 girls, white, crusty messy butt. We've took her to a nearby vet and they did an X-ray to disprove being egg bound. We didn't believe that would be the case although she is not currently laying. They said...

    I don't know what's happening with my eggs.

    We have scoured their area for hidden nests. Everywhere EXCEPT under that red n white coop. I'll have to send my husband under. They do love to be under there. It's our old rabbit hutch modified for the girls. But not much space for humans underneath. The girls are about 7 months old now. They...

Then we got 2 brown eggs for only a handful of days then back to 1 brown egg per day. Now we are getting 1 WHITE egg per day for the last...

    Runny poop

    Hi all! It’s been about 2 weeks since we got our girls. They seem to be growing fast and learning new things all the time! Like how to roost and escape their run. I’m wondering if all the new foods they’re eating could be the cause of their runny poop? We have them on starter grower feed and...

    Introduction

    So, I feel silly I think, because I didn’t have my glasses on I saw something I didn’t see today when they were on. Laura is missing feathers on her rump but I didn’t see the white fluff like I did.

    Thanks! What Laura has isn't any of those creepy bugs. Her's looks like dandruff. A lot of dandruff. I could almost blow it off. Reminded me of the sort of mites my plants get, that's why I thought of them.

    Introduction

    Hello! Glad to be here. Very new to chickens, less than a week ago we got 9 week old chickens. 2 New Hampshire Reds, 1 barred rock and 1 Wyandotte (?). They're only for laying. We've chosen names for them - the Wyandotte is Kerrie, the barred rock is Nelly and the other 2 are Laura and Mary...
