    Two Jelly Eggs, One Day

    I went out earlier today and found another. They are on 18% protein and oyster shells and they free range. I will keep an eye on her. It has also been very hot recently so she might be stressed as well.

    Two Jelly Eggs, One Day

    Hello! I was outside today checking the hatching box and noticed I had gotten a normal size "jelly egg'", no shell. I was shocked and just thought it was one of our coming-of-age chickens laying an egg. But I was outside later that night and watched our Swedish Flower Hen, Marsalla, lay another...

    Is my chicken sick or am I over-reacting?

    Thank you for all of your support! Unfortunately, she died last week. Very odd, she went from fine to dead in four days. None of our other chickens have any symptoms, they are completely normal. We are still trying to figure out what happened to her but we didn't perform an autopsy because it...

    Is my chicken sick or am I over-reacting?

    UPDATE: Parm has gone downhill. We moved her inside and by herself and gave her food and water, but she will not eat. Her poop is greenish but I am just happy she is pooping. She can't really stand, she leans to one side and falls over sometimes. She also shakes, and it is not cold. She keeps...

    Is my chicken sick or am I over-reacting?

    Hello! Over the last two days, I have noticed that our Blue-Splash Maran, Parmesan, has not been herself. She has become lethargic, she falls asleep standing up in the middle of the yard. She also does not run up to receive snacks, she just watches. I have not seen her drink a lot but she does...

    Molting? Pecking? What????

    Ok I am an idiot and I have had them on grower feed with 20% protein the entire time. We added new toys and lavender to calm them down but the one just keeps picking the feathers out. Should I get the pinless peeper blinder things or just wait to see if it stops. We put the no pick spray on but...

    Molting? Pecking? What????

    I don't know the square footage, but the coop is big, it says it can fit up to 18 chickens and we only have four. I will add more protein in before I can get grower feed.

    Molting? Pecking? What????

    Hello! I am brand new to the chicken raising scene and just got my chickens two weeks ago. They are 9 weeks old and I have one Swedish Flower Hen, two Blue Splash Marans, and one golden laced wyandotte. No roosters. I don't know what molting looks like but I also don't know if they are pecking...

    Hi there!!

    Hello! I am a (soon to be) new chicken owner and purchased four pullets; a Swedish Flower hen, a blue laced wyandotte and two blue splash marans. I am trying to prove my family a point that I can raise chickens, so I know this website will be a great tool to help me out! If anyone has any...

    My Pet Chicken. com.... Reliable??

    So I already ordered the pullets, they will come April 17th. I ordered them from mypetchicken.com out of desperation because NOBODY sold the pullets I wanted near me an anyone who did could not ship and were too far away. So I guess what I'm asking is if anyone has bought chickens from this...
