    Pullet laying 1 egg a week

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Internal laying can take a while to show. I can't give you an exact timeline, but maybe 1-2 months. I've had a few hens who've had it and I didn't notice until they completely stopped laying and it's been a while... Visually, she looks really healthy...

    Aggressive Behavior

    I've used them to prevent aggressive picking that draws blood. They are a pain to get on at first but they do work. Give it a shot, it might take care of the problem.

    Pullet laying 1 egg a week

    Clues, clues... This is helpful info. And wow, I might need to hear more about this camera tracking system, been looking at ways to track which hens lay which eggs for a long time now. My thinking is now: 1) She might be starting to go broody and the hormones are making her lay less before she...

    Pullet laying 1 egg a week

    I've found eggs in some crazy places! Under nest boxes and inside feeders! But if she's not hiding eggs then it is probably something else. What breed is she? And is her comb full and red (depending on breed) or does it look a little shrunken maybe?

    Pullet laying 1 egg a week

    Do you let your chickens outside? Could it be she found a new great nesting spot that one time she was locked out?

    Did Tractor Supply give me the wrong chick?

    x2, definitely a cockerel and looks like a Welbar. The second one is a pullet.

    Aggressive Behavior

    Sounds like Pepper is just getting a bit older and Lucy is young and productive so pecking order is changing. I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as Pepper is still able to get away (which your coop + outdoor space looks like plenty for this). It might take a couple weeks. But if Lucy...

    Why are my chickens so damn fat???

    They look like normal, healthy chickens to me, maybe just a bit on the heavy side. I have some show Orpingtons who are FAT girls and I've noticed the ones with particularly large abdomens seem to be more susceptible to heat stress that can lead to fatality. Although that might not be as big of...

    What type of chicken is this.

    My guess is the first one is a Buff Orpington from a hatchery which isn't very careful about the recessive yellow leg gene. It's fairly common for it to pop up on occasion in BO's and her body type makes me lean in that direction. Plus they are far more common than Buff Rocks. The second chicken...

    URGENT HELP

    Has it fully absorbed it's yolk sac? If so then it was ready to hatch. Also, if it was able to get out of the shell on it's own that is already a very good sign. Do you have a heat lamp? I would set up a tote box brooder (if you have one).

    Hatching pullet eggs

    Sorry for your loss :( The recommended minimum weight for hatching eggs is 52 grams. Any smaller and you're going to potentially have weaker chicks. But it's more than doable of course if he was mating the girls and they are fertile. What I would do is make sure that the humidity doesn't get...
