    Is this molting or something else? Hen is under 1 year.

    Hello! We are coming up on one year as chicken owners! I noticed today one of our hens is looking a little rough, the rest of the flock is all looking fine. They are all about 11 months old, so I wasn’t expecting a molt this soon. I know chickens don’t follow a rule book, so wasn’t sure if it...

    Broken beak. What do I do?

Usually I notice them going bonkers in the run, and by the time I get out there I see they are already eating the egg. I’ve only actually seen it a handful of times. Her butt isn’t fluffier...

    Pullet is laying eggs in our run, and then eating them! Help.

    Hello! We have 9 young pullets, about 24 weeks old. 8/9 have figured out the nesting boxes and have no issues. We have one PBR that lays outside in their run. I’ve recently noticed that the entire flock will chase the egg and eat it. They don’t bother the eggs in the coop/nesting boxes. I’m not...
