    Peculiar Eggs

    Thank you! Wow! ‘Henopause’!!!! I had no idea. We got the girls as back garden pets, it has been lovely getting eggs in return but not essential. Our nearest chicken vet is some significant distance away. Thank you all so much for the advice. She is eating, drinking, chatting and bossing the...

    Peculiar Eggs

    You maybe right! She and one other had a ‘faint molt’ at approx 18 months, whereas my other lady had an almost relatively ‘naked molt’ a little later, in December too! All three hens are Amberlinks and hatched the same day. She is the greedy hen out of the three, that probably has the worst...

    Thank you! Fleur does not appear to visit the grit tray as often as the other two hens. I shall visit the pet warehouse today so will see what they have to offer. Thanks again

    Peculiar Eggs

    My gorgeous 2 year old hen Fleur (who has been a regular almost daily layer) has been having a little time off from laying over the summer, I presumed a molt was due, it was too hot, etc. Lots of vitamins and TLC were given to get her mojo back! Recently however I have noticed very pale, white...
