    Sick Java

    Nuggets is about 1 1/2 years old. She hasn't laid since June. She remained active and was eating fine. She started molting about 3 1/2 weeks ago. Since then, her comb has lost its bright red color and has started to "shrink". Her wattles are loosing colors as well. She was also quiet...

    What is this ?

    I was just looking at a very informative website about poop : http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0 It looks like the red fleshy stuff is intertinal lining and not worms. I also found out that Wazine17 is quite limited in its scope. So thank you very much for the referral. I...

    What is this ?

    Thanks for your concerns Happy Chooks. There is no difference. I put the Wyandotte (Dexter) in the dog crate for a "time out" as she was going after the Java (Molnut) I had just reintegrated with the two other girls (Dexter and Nuggets). While in there, she let out a big runny poop, although...

    What is this ?

    Thank you very much for your concern. You are very helpful. I will check this prolapsed oviduct thing. Reading the links, she could also have an infection. Her smashing liquid poop worries me. I noticed there is something looking like fleshy stuff in it. Tonight she is not roosting on...

    What is this ?

    "oh no i would hate to think it was a snake or lizard near your chickens " Yay, me too. I cannot handle snakes, their slithering makes my skin crawl. I haven't seen anything yet. I don't know if they come out at night (creepy....) or if they could harm my hens. I guess they could go after...

    What is this ?

    I am grateful for all the interest as these are my first hens and things have not gone very smooth so far. One Java has stopped laying in May, the Wyandotte in June, the other Java still lays, between periods of broodiness that is. So now I have that "thing". To respond to your hypotheses...

    What is this ?

    Thank you for responding, I am really puzzled about this. I have 2 Javas and 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte. What was left on the inside seemed watery. I have only 1 Java and the Wyandotte now in the coop. The other Java is now in a dog crate as she is broody (the 5th time since January). Today I...

    What is this ?

    This morning I found something that looks like a grape on the floor of the coop. It is similar in size and is reddish brown. It has some kind of "navel" at one extremity. (see pics) My hens have not laid eggs since the end of May. I have tried everything and have given up on them laying...

    When to call it quit

    Loved the henopause suggestion However I bought them, presumably at 28 to 30 weeks old in January of this year. I wanted pullets, got some full grown chickens. Since they are my first ones, who knows... I have contacted the seller and applied all the suggestions: too much treats, not enough...

    When to call it quit

    I have 3 hens; 2 Javas and 1 Wyandotte. One of my Java stopped laying 4 months ago now. Checked for all the recommended suspects, nothing works. The Wyandotte stopped 3 weeks after her. The other Java has been broody on and off and is now molting. Needless to say I am buying eggs ... and food...

    Javas and egg production

    Finally, I found a forum about Javas. Got 2 of them (backyard flock, can have only 3 hens, the 3rd one is a Golden Laced Wyandotte) Got my hens in January (I live in SoCal) at 28 weeks. They were already laying 4-5 eggs/week each, which was great. 1 Java laid her last egg on May 17 (I used...

    I think I got it ! Why are my hens not laying

    I need your input here. I am still not getting any eggs. It's been 2 months (to the day) that Nuggets, my Java, has stopped laying. Dexter, my Wyandotte has stopped 3 weeks after Nuggets and is still "on break". There are a few feathers here and there, but unless they are extremely slow...

    Picky eaters?

    I didn't know that, thanks. My girls are about 10 months old, so they still have a way to go. I am focussing on fixing the runny poop issue right now, thinking that maybe this will fix the non laying as well. So they have receive yogurt for the past 4 days now. The poop looks better (if...
