    When will my rescued pekins start laying again?

    Just an update- my girls are doing wonderful! They are both laying and maybe since my original female saw them she is laying too (i think its her because im finding really small grenish gray eggs everyday too). Two days though ive gotten 3 eggs in the morning and then 1 egg in the afternoon...

    HELP Broody hens!

    Im a softie too! It tears my nerves up when they arent getting along.. If you cant break them from being broody they can stay broody for quite a while! Once your layers are finished for the day you could try blocking off the nest boxes so they cant get in them maybe. With my girls it seems the...

    New chicken problems

    Could they see eachother when they were quarantined? Maybe if you could just separate them for a week or two with just hardware cloth they could work out their pecking order without being able to physically harm one another.

    hens healthy but thin decrease in egg production

    Sometimes worms can cause them to lose some weight and slow egg production. And from what ive read worms are most common in the summer.

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Wow! This is the first ive heard of this?!? I did know they were going to ban chickens being sold either into or out of the state for a few months beginning in August. Are you going to register yours??

    HELP Broody hens!

    My lead hen goes broody A LOT!!! She is the definite ruler when she isnt broody, however, when she is broody her whole demeanor changes so much that many of the lower hens will try and face off with her when she is off the nest. Its almost as if they dont recognize her. She is normally a very...

    When will my rescued pekins start laying again?

    Just went out to let the ducks out and found our first duck egg! Since my black swedish is only 19 weeks old, I'm pretty sure it's from one of the new girls!!

    When will my rescued pekins start laying again?

    The photo on the right is of the ladies the day I brought them home. I didn't think to take a picture before I let them swim because I was too concerned with how filthy they were. This is right after they got out of the water. You can tell how they got soaked.. The picture on the left is of...

    When will my rescued pekins start laying again?

    Thanks for responding! I'll wait for eggs as long as I have to. If they're happy then I'm happy! I've looked into doing something about where they came from but ad long as they have food, water and shelter then there's not much I can do.. :( I'll post some pics of them when I get home to my...

    When will my rescued pekins start laying again?

    I got 2, 1 year old Pekin females 2 weeks ago to take some of the stress off of my female black swedish from my pekin drake. I went to buy them but when I saw their conditions and expressed concern I was given them. They were kept inside a barn with chickens on inches of poop and mud. No water...

    Limping 16 week old duck

    Thank you! I really try.. She hasnt started laying yet and everything is normal other than her leg so maybe I'll give her until Monday. Thank you for the advice about only taking her. I didn't even think about him hurting her. You are so right!!

    Limping 16 week old duck

    Thank you for your response! She is a black swedish. I have been putting brewers yeast on their food since they were 2 weeks. It just came on suddenly! I sprayed the cut with vetericyn last night hoping to help if there is any infection. I give them 1 cup of food a.m. and p.m. but they never...

    Limping 16 week old duck

    My girl, Edward, started limping yesterday. She still uses it but tucks it a lot. She spent most of the day yesterday in the pool where she doesn't have any weight on it. There is no swelling or heat, and no signs of bumblefoot. There may have been a tiny scrape under her middle toe but that's...
