    Bird Empathy

    I cannot see any reason for a disruption in laying except for the stress of this loss in their family.

    Bird Empathy

    All three hens stopped laying for at least 3 days. I knew that the fourth hen was weak and tired,old and struggling but I did not know how close she was to death. They obviously knew.

    Bird Empathy

    They do protect! Is that empathy for one another? Or instinct? Survival instinct?

    Bird Empathy

    I do see it in all of the neighborhood birds as a hawk or eagle or any predator is near. They scream...fly insanely. They make a huge fuss...every bird . Are they just scared or giving warning, trying to protect? I don’t know. It seems like a warning with the noise, and they would not warn if...

    Bird Empathy

    Recently experienced in my small flock: empathy. 3 hens actually stopped laying days before one old “mother hen” died. I have become very interested in not only chickens, but all birds. Does anyone have any stories of bird empathy?

    Wow! I am not sure which hen was responsible for laying it. I wonder if it will ever happen again. I wonder if it happens more often then we know. I found it broken so I saw it, but she could lay a double shelled egg and we crack it open into a pan and don't realize it.

    The photo is really not reflective of what it looked like when I found it. The outside shell really did cover a lot of it. I should have been more careful when I washed it. The outer shell started to break away as the water hit it.

    When I found the egg it was almost fully covered but cracked. I brought it in to wash it and it lost some of the outside shell. I wonder if the hen was disturbed by our dog while laying it. When I brought it inside to show my son he said to me. "I bet Kirby broke it. He just ran out of the coop"...

    I just found your site. It is great! I have had chickens all my life but have never seen this before. Any guesses as to why. I found this last week in the coop. It had rolled onto the floor board so it broke. I have 4 hens. One lays light brown eggs, one green, and two dark brown. This eggs has...
