    2 yo Hens Stopped Laying in May, Still No Eggs

    What are you feeding? We had to switch from Tractor Supply brands, Dumor and Producer's Pride, and that did the trick.

    ISO Partridge Penedesenca

    I got mine from Brinkhaven Acres, as well. They are not pictured on their website, though. I wonder if they got rid of them or just aren't laying. They are very nice folks to work with. I'm sure they wouldn't mind you asking.

    young birds dying

    About a week ago, we lost 2 8-12 week old birds (barnevelder, partridge pennedesenca, cuckoo marans, easter eggers). Since then, we have lost a bird or two about every other day. I don't see any diarrhea, but they appear dehydrated, then they get lethargic, then go to sleep and die. I know...

    These are ones I was owed from darkeggsdaily stock from a high loss in shipping last year. That is where their stock went. They were assorted Marans. The silvers don't look too bad, there are 4 pullets and 3 cockerels that are silver. I just think the stock could have been mixed at some...

    About half were. Some of them are so bad, I can't tell what they are. About a third were clean legged.
