    After Broody Question

    So my Ameraucana STILL hasnt laid an egg since her broody episode. Its been over 4 weeks now. Acting normal, no mites, eating drinking fine. Should I be concerned?

    Is she trying to go broody?

    How funny I just had the same exact experience with my young Ameraucauna. I just put her in a separate area of my run where she couldn't get to the nest for 1 day and she quit. But she hasn't laid for over a week now so I was worried and posted about it.

    After Broody Question

    Would love to hatch babies but not possible where I live :( I thought it odd though that I only had to separate her 1 day from the nest to cure her from sitting in the nest?

    After Broody Question

    I have an ameraucana who was sitting all day on the nest and I kept having to push her out to get eggs so then she would pull down an egg from the nest to sit on it in the coop, poor thing. This went on for several days so I am assuming she was broody? Shes not even 1 year old yet and this is...

    Nesting liners... how long do they last? Worth the price?

    I use those nesting liners and love them. I tried straw at first but it got constantly kicked out.

    Feed Question

    Of course I go fishing for a couple days and I get my first eggs when Im gone! Still very exciting to come home to the cutest little eggs ever. I have 6, hens and since my eggs are white, I know at least one of my leghorns is laying. I have 2 leghorns. The others will lay brown, blue and green...

    Layer feed and oyster shell?

    My girls are only 12 weeks old but when they start laying and I switch them to layer feed should I also provide oyster shell on the side? I believe layer feed has calcium in it so just want to make sure. Thanks

    Pecking order question

    I have 2 Australorps 2 Buff Orpingrons 2 White Leghorns 1 Easter Egger and 1 ameraucana The only one that seems a bit aggressive is one of my Australorps. That is a great idea sending the more aggressive since it may knock them down a bit. He chickens free range so plenty of room. I spend...
