    Is this a normal size for easter egger 5 1/2 months

    That makes sense, we just need to prevent the EE from being too curious lol.

    That makes sense. I was thinking of waiting for them to lay, and then slowly reintroduced them to oyster shells. We had done that with our other chickens, waiting for eggs before adding oyster shells. So that may be a good idea for them too.

    I think that's a good idea. I'm thinking of filling their food with more layer feed and oyster shells, it seems to help with their egg production as well.

    Yeah, I had also seen that happening awhile ago actually. One of our older hens had kept grabbing at her which I had to remove them from each other. I'm guessing her missing feathers are most definitely from her being pecked at/bullied.

    Thank you! Wish I had known that. I know oyster shells and egg shells tend to help a lot with protein, so I try to overcompensate by adding more oyster shells than the percentage of the rest of the food. I could try your advice, see if it helps them any or with their size.

    I checked on her feathers, it turns out also that the angle of the picture makes it look a bit strange, but she acts like a normal hen except for laying. Is there We have 2 places to feed them, after I found out the older hens tend to pick on our young EE, we decided it would be better to...

    Her chest actually feels pretty developed if not as much as an older hen, she's not lethargic at all, she runs and screeches like a normal hen. We feed her oyster shells, cracked corn, layer feed and oats.

    Is this a normal size for easter egger 5 1/2 months

    I'm also willing to guess that just like with our other hens, at this age due to the extreme heat we live in they tended to look pretty scruffy, they all act normal and healthy, running chasing each other, jumping onto literally everything, none seem lethargic and they enjoy eating and drinking...

    Is this a normal size for easter egger 5 1/2 months

    I just checked her, found out it was one of our much older hens who would get into fights with her over food, she is almost 6 months, our older hen is around 1 1/2 years.

    Is this a normal size for easter egger 5 1/2 months

    We don't have roosters, we have older hens with her, and she tends to get picked by the older ones around her. All my other EE chickens are just like her actually. She feels heavy and she crows but no egg laying. We feed them oyster shells, cracked corn, layer feed and oats. Alongside that, her...

    Is this a normal size for easter egger 5 1/2 months

    I've had this chicken for almost 6 months, and it's still as tiny as ever. I'm just getting worried that they're not getting good nutrition, compared to our other hens who were huge at this age, but different breed. They laid at 6-7 months, I'm just wondering if she's a good size so far, but it...

    I don't know what's wrong with my chicken

    We've continuously given her types of calcium supplements, along with molasses and honey too, I feel like that's why she's gotten a little less depressed, but also the other hens she'd get along with have started pecking at her and pushing her away from the food

    I don't know what's wrong with my chicken

    I'd say either reproductive disease, unfortunately, or moulting, because she's only a year and 2 months old, and I'd assume she'd still be able to lay because the other chickens I got with her are the same age, and they mostly have no trouble laying. I feel like it's a moult or, could it really...

    I don't know what's wrong with my chicken

    If you're asking about those with fowl pox, they've made a full recovery! If you're talking about my older hen who stopped laying, she seems better, but she's still quiet, and she still hasn't laid an egg since April when this started. She eats on her own now though and drinks water, but I'm...

    They are 7 months now, do you know how we can get the vaccine, any trust worthy websites?
