Thank you!

Hi everyone, sorry to jump on a thread, I currently have a broody hen sitting on 2 fertilized eggs I got from a neighbor (as I don’t have a rooster) that are due to hatch June 5th or so. My understanding based on this thread and others is that from hatch to laying you can feed chicks and laying...

Sounds good, so just keep an eye on her for now? I have a neighbor coming to take a look at her later today to see what they think. She was just pecking at some grass from where she is laying

I actually did see her poop when I was outside with her. She wouldn’t let us feel her crop at all but I do have a picture. She is about 24 weeks and a golden comet.

We tried and she wasn’t wanting us to touch her at all unfortunately and would freak out 😑 She isn’t wanting to eat or drink and she is a little wobbly when she walks. Her crop does look like this

Hey! Woke up this morning to one of my hens looking like this, she is sitting in the coop sleeping kind of while the others are doing their thing. Could she be eggbound? She is walking okay when I saw her walk so it doesn’t seem to be a leg injury.

Hi! Is there such a thing as an easter egger laying a brown egg? I know it’s a chance but I looked it up when I saw the egg as it’s the first egg she has laid and it’s not common as far as what I found on the internet and I believe she has a pea comb too which according to research I found means...

Thanks!

Oh thank goodness! I’ll order some. Thank you!

Hi! It was raining all day today and I went outside to close up the coop and noticed these little bugs crawling on it. I really hope they aren’t mites. Not sure if they are just bugs out because of the rain. It’s around 65/70 degrees here too. Not the best pictures. There isn’t a whole lot of...

about 20 weeks!

Oh good! Thank you! I think they were confused also because her sisters comb was pale compared to hers. Thanks!

Pretty sure it’s a hen but had someone tell me she’s a rooster so I wanted to post! 20 weeks!

And the hen with the pink comb isn’t a rooster right? I just had someone tell me it is so just wanted to double check 😅
