    Review by '' on item 'Red Sex Link'

    I Love Red Sex Links! But they just won't stand up for themselves, so they are almost always at the bottom of the pecking order. Good for kids if you are just getting a full flock of just Red Sex Links. They are super sweet and really good egg layers. Sometimes they can be shy, and sometimes...

    Chickens won't strop pacing

    Hello doturbanhen! That is normal. Mine do that too. Just put some toys involving food in their yard. When they pace, that means they see food outside of the coop they want. Like a bug flying around. Here's a toy: Get a...

    Hens suddenly laying in strange places & soft-shelled eggs

    Hello hikiaribug! Do not fear! Your problem is a very common one. The soft shelled eggs are a result of a lack of calcium. Try some smashed eggshells and spread over their feed. The nesting box half is due to a lack of bedding. Try putting some more straw or shavings (whatever you have) in...

When I re-introduced her again, I sat out there with her...

    question?

    Hello albird101! Kikithechicken here! Your problem could possibly be that it takes her too long to realize that she has to lay an egg. If she's a new layer, that should be normal, especially when she got some huge egg sittin' in there! Another possibility could be the feed you give her...

    Failure to Chicken!

    Hello sampson! Your problem may be the other chickens pecking her. If they peck her hard enough, that could cause her brain to go kinda screwey-wompus. That has happened to one of my chickens. Her name is Thunder and is often bullied by my dominique (pecky little thing). One day, yeah, it...

    HUGE Squishy Egg

    My 2-year old Red Star hen just laid a HUGE squishy soft-shelled egg. We have a coop and an outdoor pen, and at night they all head into their coop, but the red star was out their in the corner. She seemed scared and in pain, so I brought her inside to the nesting boxes. She immediately laid a...
