    Laying while roosting

    I have six hens. Two Americana, one black australorp, three isa brown. They are two years old and each lay an egg a day. One chicken is laying her egg in the day while roosting. Not sure which hen but not the Americanas. This is new or different behavior from last year. I have three nest...

    Review by 'Misty Farm' in article 'Chicken Coop Ventilation - Go Out There And Cut More Holes In Your Coop!'

    Great article. And to think I was about to cover the man door screen with plexiglass. Reconsidering. It does put draft on one chicken who roosts alone near the door.

    Yes I know I made a mistake in getting two groups at once not knowing the first group was sick.

    Week old duckling flips over, can't right itself. Niacin deficiency? Crested gene?

In the past years I never had a sick chicken, all but one chicken was purchased as a chick from a supplier. This time I bought 5 young hens from...
