    My cayuga duck laid 3 eggs this morning! ?'s

    Okay. So. My female has laid four eggs in two days. She's for sure the only female we have, we made sure. We also know she hadn't laid them one a day because we scoured the pen three times and then the next day, the two eggs were out in plain sight. Also, Google claims cayugas can lay two in a...

    That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info! I will definitely keep that in mind.

    Is My Hen Broody?

    Thank yall!! I'll try to go check on them tomorrow and see if she's still sitting in there. Is there any risk of the other hens pulling her out by any chance? We have 3 more laying boxes but none of the hens use those, just the one she's in.

    Is My Hen Broody?

    I have a hen who is sitting flatly in the nesting box and attacking my hand when I reach close to her, which I know is a sign of broodiness. However, she didn't make any noise at all, so could she have just been laying an egg? I pulled an egg from under her and set it off to the side and after a...

    My hen is about to loose her comb!! How do I help her???

    Yes, thank you so much. I love my hens, especially this one since she's the last of our original flock. I'm going to take some more pictures for yall and talk to my husband since this is most likely not her molting. I really appreciate your input so much. Thank you again!! ❤

    My hen is about to loose her comb!! How do I help her???

    My husband and I lost our entire first flock (besides the Orpington hen) to hawks and another predator. Our reason for having the rooster is to protect the flock. He is pretty young. A little over seven months now if I'm doing my math right. I also ordered some hen saddles, much to my husband's...

    My hen is about to loose her comb!! How do I help her???

    Alright. So. I've bought some vetrycin and some 'Pick No More'. I also took a picture before applying any of it. They're not the best, but hopefully you can see enough of her comb. When I was applying everything, I didn't even have to hold onto her. It was like she knew it was to try and help her 😢

    My hen is about to loose her comb!! How do I help her???

    I'm in Oklahoma. We noticed she started loosing her feathers when it started getting warmer. I don't currently have any pictures but I'll post some as soon as I can. I would separate one of them, but I'm still setting up a spot for that as the only space we have closed off is full of chicks and...

    My hen is about to loose her comb!! How do I help her???

    Thank you!! I'm thinking of getting some 'Pick No More' to try and deter him from biting her until we can get a separate area set up, but I'm not sure it'll be enough. Thankfully she knows how to escape into our tree for a while.

    My hen is about to loose her comb!! How do I help her???

    Our hen is a Buff Orpington, is a little over a year old and weighs about 7 or 8 pounds. Our Rhode Island Rooster has been treading her excessively. Because she's molting, he's even pulled out all the feathers on the back of her head. So now all he has to hold onto is her comb, which is now...

    Hens scratch all hay out of nesting boxes

    My husband and I use wood shavings for their nesting boxes but...my hens, roosters and guineas always immediately go to pecking at, scratching and eating them. So we stopped wasting the shavings and now just deal with angry laying hens all the time.
