Yes, I believe it was. I changed their food, to a better quality, since no hens were really laying any eggs. Added probiotics to their water & everyone seems to be doing really well so far.
I wish I would have thought to test my feed. I just switched their feed over the weekend & two days later, my egg production is back to how it should have been.
I have 10 hens & was only getting up to 2 eggs (if I was lucky) a day, it would vary between 0-2 eggs a day. Exactly 2 days after I...
Just did, it definitely could have been that. I thought it was weird to have the yolk & egg white there too but, from the pictures I saw, that’s looks to happen that way too w/ lash eggs.
Any ideas on how to treat it, if at all?
I had something weird happen today, that’s never happened before with my hens.
I’m not new to chickens but, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert either, Im sure there’s a ton I haven’t learned yet. I’ve had chickens for 6 years now & have never have had any issues w/ my hens & their eggs, until tonight...
I have 10 hens & normally in the winter I will receive 1/2 of what I normally do in the summer. But, this year, I’m lucky to get 2-3 eggs a day.
I have:
2-5 year old cinnamon queens
2-3 year white Leghorns
1-3 year ISA Brown Chicken
2-1 yr old olive egger
2-1 yr old Ameraucana
1-2 yr old...
I bought 6 chicks (3 barred rock & 3 California Whites). They are all 3 weeks old & I’m about 90% sure all 3 barred rocks are cockerels.
I can’t bare the thought of raising them only to eat them & I don’t want 3 roosters, only need hens.
I’m just wanting them to go to a good home.
I’m outside...
Wanted to add some updated pictures. The last ones in the post were from September 2019. He was only about 4 1/2 months old then. These are from yesterday (2/19/20). He’s about 9 months old now.
Have a rooster available near the Charlotte, NC area. He will be one year old on May 21st, 2020. Let my hen hatch & raise him then, separated him before he was able to get any eggs fertile. Just don’t want more chickens, having to keep him separated from my girls. Attached some pics of him...
