I think my mistake may have been letting the chickens have too much scratch feed. So I’ve cut back on that a lot.

She’s doing OK. She was laying eggs with bumpy shells. Calcium deposits. Then went to thin shelled eggs, and sometimes soft eggs. Some of them dropping from the roost at night. I’ve been crushing calcium tablets into their food. Giving her egg one day, tuna, the next. I had to take another...

Given to me by a friend. They don’t know what breed he is.

Appreciate any help determining breed of rooster. TIA

One hen has been laying eggs with calcium deposits, and thin shells. Occasionally, I see a little greenish gray spot on the yolk. Today this was inside. She is eating, drinking and behaving normal. Another hen is laying on thin shelled eggs. The other 10 hens are laying perfectly normal eggs...

I have yet to meet a nice rooster. Sure hope this one is not going to be a jerk. 😅. So far whatever read about Buff Brahma roosters is encouraging. 🤞

Thank you. Guess I’ll have to find him some girls his own size. My other hens are EE and Marans.

I’ve been hanging onto hope that Becky is a she, but just noticed orange pointy saddle feathers. Bought from a breeder at approx 12 weeks and assured it was a pullet. Thanks in advance!

I’m in SE Virginia but only have room for 2 or 3 more until we build a bigger coop.
