    Missing feathers and not laying

    I had read that molting didn’t happen until their second year but I’d be very happy to be misinformed on this and have this be a natural process. We just want to keep our hens healthy. Thanks for your reply!

    She’s 9-10 months. I had read that molting didn’t happen until their second year. I’d be glad if it was just something that simple TBH.

    Missing feathers and not laying

    I am new to chicken keeping but I had read they usually don’t molt until after they’re 1. She is probably about 9-10 months now. I’d be glad if it was molting TBH.

    What breed?

    What breed do people think this hen is? We was hard to figure out as a chick and then we settled on a Partridge Rock. However she resembles a lot of pics I see people post of Welsummers. She lays medium brown eggs. However she has not laid in about 2 weeks I assume due to short winter days. Thanks!

    18 week old ISAs, Easter Egger and Partridge Rock- no eggs yet!

    Strangely enough they have started to move the fake eggs around in their nesting boxes and kicking some out into their coop. I take this as a positive sign that they’re interested but I also don’t want them to break their eggs once they start to lay by doing the same? Almost 19 weeks now and...

    18 week old ISAs, Easter Egger and Partridge Rock- no eggs yet!

    I will make sure to do so. However most times when they’re out in the yard they don’t stay still in any one spot for long at all.

    18 week old ISAs, Easter Egger and Partridge Rock- no eggs yet!

    Hello all, This is my first time raising chickens and I have 4 18 week old birds. 2 ISAs, 1 Partridge Rock and 1 Easter Egger. I was wondering when I should be expecting to get our first egg. I know ISAs are prolific layers so we keep checking every day and nothing yet. I kind of figured we...

    New chicks- Barred rock chick and Ameracauna?

    Sent pics of her to someone at Meyer and they are saying her feather pattern is consistent with a Partridge Rock!

    New chicks- Barred rock chick and Ameracauna?

    I’m still thinking she looks a bit like a brown leghorn?

    New chicks- Barred rock chick and Ameracauna?

    Here is the suspected Welsummer at 9 weeks. Everyone still thinking that’s her breed?
