Thank you. But this did start prior to them moulting. The decrease in egg production was a few months ago in the height of summer, and a couple of them starting sitting hunched down and being lethargic prior to moulting. Also some of the ones that aren’t having a big moult (or not one at all)...
Hello! I am in need of some brainstorming and chicken care advice. I have 12 chickens - 8 of which are 3-4 years old and 4 are born this year in April.
Over this summer, gradually our egg production decreased and their energy level seemed lower. Then, a few weeks ago, some of our chickens...
A friend of mine ordered a mystery Rare breed chick for her flock (among her larger order). She got a blue Andalusian and just does not have enough space to keep her happy. She is located in Evergreen Colorado.

Hello, we have a small flock (just 6 now) after losing 2 hens this fall - the latest a few weeks ago, our beautiful Dolly, a huge light brahma hen that had held flock leader for 4+ years (we don't have roosters). She was kind and brave and loved to free-range. Now, our hens cower inside their...
Hey everyone - I had 2 different sources for some younger chicks and I kept all of them separated when in the yard (they weren't combined with my older hens yet), but unfortunately, they either came with pasteurella or got it from somewhere. Now, I still have the area fenced off in my yard and...
