    Cayuga Laying questions: Please give me answers

    Finally got my first egg on March 17th, so they were 10 1/2 months old when they finally started. The other one started 2 days later and I’ve gotten an egg from both of them every day since! I guess they’re catching up!

    Cayuga's laying white eggs?

    Cayuga Laying questions: Please give me answers

    Cayuga: Unknown death, weird stuff on skin

    I did check her vent, it was clean. nothing noteworthy. The deeper I dug into the feathers, the more I found, but only on the underbelly. Hopefully laid after she died, there were fly's all over. Thanks for the link, I hope I don't have to use it.

    Cayuga: Unknown death, weird stuff on skin

    So three days ago one of my Cayuga started acting listless. She was just staring at the side of the house from a few inches away and didn’t move when we picked her up(She normally runs away and does not like to be touchehe normally runs away and does not like to be touched). she seemed a...
