    Creme Legbar x Araucana

    Weak hen not eating

    Thanks for your swift reply, unfortunately as I'm writing this the hen has passed away. As a precaution I'm going to get a dewormer for the rest of the flock and bump up on their minerals. Any other ideas to prevent this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've had problems like this from a hen that was at the bottom of the pecking order and I fixed this by adding an new perch. What's worrying me is the fact this hen is high in the...

    2 Eggs A Day

    Hi all, with my latest additions of laying hens I have one girl that is laying 2 eggs a day almost every day. I have seen hens lay the odd extra egg but never this frequently. I was just wondering would this cause much of a problem or is she just a super layer. Thanks Nasnro
