Pennsylvania!! Unite!!
Hello ALL, I haven't been here for awhile... I guess life gets in the way. Anywayz, my girls have stopped laying, it's been over a week since we've gotten even one egg *sigh*. They all seem healthy and are very active, but no eggs. There are no note worthy changes in environment, diet or overall...- KlingKlan

Post your FIRST EGG pics!
Sorry to hear that, this chicken raising "hobby" can be frustrating at times. My girls are all older (got them from an auction, I don't suggest that route for newbies... it's been one challenge after another *sigh*). The only thing I can suggest is to add oyster shells, if you're not already. I...- KlingKlan

Looks like 2 different girl's to me! I have 4 RSL's, 3 are laying (just recently) and even though they're the same breed, I can tell their eggs apart. Yay, you have 2 girls laying for you and it will become more steady and regular soon!- KlingKlan

"Segregated" My Girl With Sour Crop... Now What?!?!
Here's a little background on my flock for those who aren't familiar with my story. In February of this year I started thinking about getting chickens (probably due to stumbling onto BYC from some rogue internet search of an entirely different topic ), I researched and read and researched again...- KlingKlan

Ok, so we have separated our girl with the sour crop, Gertrude. I brought her inside after they went to bed last night so she wouldn't freak out too much. I put a heating pad under a towel in the cage and covered the whole thing with a blanket to keep it warm and dark so she could warm up. We...- KlingKlan

What's Inside This Egg?!
Thanks soo much Kelsie!! I skimmed through the links and think that the answer is "meat spots" as outlined on pocketfarm.co.uk. There wasn't a picture, however, the description was "spot" on... hehehe, couldn't help myself! But yeah, lash is dis-gross-ting!! I swear I'm not normally a queasy...- KlingKlan

feeding Chickens Black pepper
Thanks amenfarm! You were VERY right, our 1st egg came on 6/1 which was their 8th day here and then the next day came egg #2! 2 girls have been taking turns laying every other day. This past Sunday we got a weird egg from a 3rd girl and neither of the first 2 laid that day... (chicken...- KlingKlan

I wish you lived closer, I have like 20+ egg cartons and only 7 eggs !! When people found out we were getting chickens they felt compelled to give me all their egg cartons. As of yesterday, day 9 of laying, we were getting one egg per day (2 girls taking turns)... today we got 2 eggs already and...- KlingKlan

What's Inside This Egg?!
So I have 4 RSL's that I got from a local "Small Animal Auction" on 5/24, they are adults and we're not sure of their exact age. There was some debate here as to whether they were past lying age or no. Well on 6/1 we got our 1st egg (8 days after bringing them home ) and the next day we got...- KlingKlan

I just found this thread, so I'm a little late lol. We have 4 red sex-links that we bought at a local small animal auction, we don't know much about them. We figured out they were going through molt when we brought them home on May 24th and were told it could be awhile... if ever, for them to...- KlingKlan

Good for you wing!! I wish I lived further out of town so we could do a lot more of what we're doing now, however I am grateful that we were allowed to do this much in/on rented property. Some day, ahhh some fine day !- KlingKlan
