    Pullet eggs

    Thank you, this is what I’ve gathered from my googling as well.

    Pullet eggs

    She’s a bantam Easter egger, so the eggs are already small to begin with. But the mom hens and sisters of this hen lay good sized bantam eggs. She’s also not even the smallest of the group so it’s strange to me. I feed kalmbach all flock, nutrena harvest blend(which is layer pellets with scratch...

    Pullet eggs

    I have a hen that’s 1 year and 3 months old, been laying for a while now and her eggs are still pretty small like pullet sized. The majority of hers never hatch either, they develop but die before hatching. Will her eggs get to normal size eventually or is she just a dud? Is there anything I can...

    Kikiriki color type

    What are the color types of these kikiriki chicks? Trying to see if these would be a good breeding group. Is the rooster like a mauve or does that even exist in kikirikis. What color babies could this group produce? I also have a few frizzled seramas in the coop with them

    Large fowl bantam cross

    Very cool! I’m just trying for cool egg color with my mutts. I will say I crossed bantam EE to D’uccles and got all feathered leg offspring and then crossed those back to clean legged bantam EE and I’m still seeing feathered legs in those chicks, so it seems very dominant in my experience

    Large fowl bantam cross

    I ended up keeping 2 handsome little Roos and 3 silkie x large fowl olive egger hens. They are looking a bit bigger than bantams but not as big as my olive eggers were at this age. Hopefully they stay small enough to keep with my bantam hens because I did rehome my big olive eggers rooster

    Easter egger chicks look different than parents

    They both were roosters so I ended up rehoming, but they both looked like this

    Pullet walking low to the ground

    Yes that makes sense. It’s just the way she’s doing it looks like she slowly dying and is scaring me. She would take a few low steps then melt down to the ground and when I picked her up it’s like she falling asleep or dying in hands. It was just so strange and I wanted to check and see if it...

    Pullet walking low to the ground

    No it was like a constant walking low then tucking to a laying position and staying there until I made her get up. I do have a couple girls that I’ve seen doing the squatting thing. It just started this afternoon. I haven’t seen her poop today but her vent and fluff back there is very clean and...

    Pullet walking low to the ground

    I have an almost laying pullet that is walking low to the ground and laying down a lot. Is this normal behavior? Could she already be egg bound? She seems perfectly besides this behavior, has a good appetite, drinking, her comb is getting redder, she still likes to free range and hang out with...

    Sick chicks

    I did like a week break in between. Saw no improvement the first round at all really, the eyes cleared up on the 2nd round and a couple days into the 3rd the sneezing and congestion finally stopped. I gave them vitamins and probiotics on the off weeks

    Sick chicks

    They are all better now! It took a long time to recover, I think I’ve done 3 rounds of tiagard. Idk if that’s recommended but it helped mine

    Large fowl bantam cross

    I have a large fowl olive egger that has been mating my silkies and bantam easter eggers. He’s never hurt them and they seem okay with it, so I’ve kept him around. The rooster is not massive, he’s ameraucana/maran crossed to Silverudd, pretty slim and maybe double the size of my bantam EEs. I’m...

    Sick chicks

    The they each have one eye looking rough, one baby is looking much better but the other I’ll order probiotics! Do you have a recommended brand? One chicks eye is looking much better, the other not so much, she scratches it so bad after I apply the ointment, maybe she’s injured it further? I’ll...
