    Why does my chicken not lay eggs, it's been over 3 weeks since she last laid an egg

    I am not a chicken professional but here's what I would do: 1. make sure she has access to clean water and her food has plenty of calcium in it. Oyster shells should be included in her diet.. but I am sure you already know that. 2. Are her tail feathers up or down? Does she look like she wants...

    Most Popular Egg Laying Breed

    I did some research before I got my chickens. What I found may or may not be true for people who have actually raised the breeds but I was really concerned about the mannerism and behavior of the chicken as I also have 4 children. I hear buff orpingtons are like the teddy bears of the chicken...

    Most Popular Egg Laying Breed

    I think you should seperate it into brown egg layers or white egg layers. The best White egg layers I hear are leghorns. I have to say of my limited knowledge of breeds the best brown egg layer I've had is my Black Australorp.

    Suspect Respiratory Infection. VetRx or Tylan 50 or something else.

    I don't have any advice, but I do have sympathy. Last year we went through the same thing with one of our americanas and all the vets around here would not help us either. We had not found this lovely site of chicken lovers at the time so we really had no idea what to do. dawg53 seems like he...

    Dog got ahold of my chicken

    I was a vet tech for many years. I never worked on chickens but as far as I know dawg53 is right on the money. If you don't have bedatine, you can always clean the wound with a 75% water, 25% antibacterial soap (Palmolive works great) mixture. If you have any syringes around, remove the...

    Can you tell me what SOP is? I am new to this.... Strange thing to think s/he will be a good looking boy! Our chickens are our pets... I know a lot of people raise them for meat and eggs... but for us it was just an added bonus to have fresh eggs! We are only allowed 4 to our coop so they...

    10 week old Golden Wyandotte... Rooster or hen? Help!!

    thanks for your replies everyone! So today, the sun was shining in lovely Colorado and when I looked at Xena Warrior Princess (to give you an idea of her personality since she was a hatchling) her feathers had a bluish glow not unlike my Black Australorp. Does anyone know if this solidifies...
