    Help with incubating exotics

    I've incubated Quail, Lohman Brown, and chicken mutts but whenever I try incubating my Silkie, Belgian D'uccle, and Old english game eggs they never hatch.

    New coop, chicken not laying

    I don't know what egg impaction is and usually hens only take a day to adjust to their surroundings. Hens egg production is strong for the first year of its life then it drops to the occasional egg laid a day so with your hen it could be just that or it stopped laying all together.

    My hens aren't laying!!

    Four ounces of feed is enough for each hen to lay and survive. I give them an egg layer powder feed as well as corn and another seed for a snack. The rooster is to fertilize the eggs. Also When I bought the Lohman the guy said they would be laying that week and that was when they were 18 weeks old

    My hens aren't laying!!

    Most of my Lohman Browns have not been laying since I got them. I do not know what disease it was but the symptoms were shyness, green diarrhea, coughing, sneezing and super lazy. I gave them a medication called 26/52 plus and a diarrhea pill. Does anyone know what disease this is.

    Feed for Chicks

    Hey KalChickenCrew It really depends on the gender, the breed, age, and whether the hens are laying or not. A hen that is laying (or not) can live off 4 ounces a day and still be very healthy and produce eggs. A chick doesn't particularily eat a alot of food but it still depends on the breed...
