    Young Hen Not Laying

    I can see if I can find someone. The last time I tried to find a vet that could look at a chicken I wasn’t incredibly successful.

    I can do that. Watermelon as well? I’ve been giving it to them since it’s been so hot.

    Young Hen Not Laying

    I’ve not seen any strange poops in the run, but I’ve now put her in a pen in the dining room this morning so I should be able to report on that soon.

    My Young Hen Isn’t Laying

    I will stop the extras immediately. Should I also keep her away from grass? How should I go about massaging her crop if I can’t feel it at all?

    My Young Hen Isn’t Laying

    Chicken sits in nesting box but doesn’t lay

    Thank you so much! Should I put the fake egg in everyone’s favorite box or in one of the other boxes? I have three but everyone lays in the same one if they can. Petunia was not broody when she passed. She was acting normally and I’m still reeling from her untimely demise. I’ve been helicopter...

    Chicken sits in nesting box but doesn’t lay

    A bit of [hopefully relevant] background: I had a small flock of four chickens, Petunia, a Cinnamon Queen - also the head hen, Rose and Lily, Rode Island Reds, and Dahlia, a Barred Rocks. They are all a year and a month old and I got them from my local tractor supply. Sadly, my Petunia suddenly...

    Can I meal prep with backyard eggs?

    Thank you!! I was worried that meal prepping with unpasteurized eggs would make meal prepping with them a bad idea. I’m so glad that’s not the case! Having breakfast ready in the morning makes life so much easier! Dahlia says thank you!

    Can I meal prep with backyard eggs?

    I prefer to meal prep breakfast. Am I able to make breakfast bowls with the eggs from my hens and reheat them through the week? I added a picture of Dahlia for no reason. ❤️
