    Runny poop and loss of appetite

    I must have not made myself clear. I have had both these girls over a year now. Apart from the problem issues they are fine. Its just frustrating as I only have 3 out of my 5 have ever laid eggs. Of course I could never get rid of them. :-)

    My RIR came to me and got sick the next day. It tool a few months for her to get better. She is lovely and healthy now and at 40 wks is finally getting a red comb. She is at the bottom of the pecking order and is very quiet. Started tamish but untouchable now. I got them at 16wks. She is a...

    Comment by 'posshaven' in item 'Wyandotte'

    I have 2 Wyandottes they have both just started to lay eggs at 42weeks!, They are both quite aloof. 1 is a gold laced and yes she is very quiet and also on the lower end of the pecking order. She is quite nasty to the 2 that are under her when perching at night. The other is a buff and she is...

    My first ever egg, I can't believe how excited I am and it's HUGE

    WOW how exciting. I too would like to know about the white speckles, also some of my other breeds lay with brown speckles. You are lucky all of my first eggs have been very little 46gms mostly. I'll bet its a double yolker! All my chickens (when they started) laid one day, had a days rest...

    Comment by 'posshaven' in item 'Australorp'

    My one Australorp (I have 7 chickens) is my most consistent egg layer. Every now and then she will throw in a double yolker. She does sing the 'egg song' but its short. She is aloof and a bossy britches when it comes to food. She will follow me around the garden talking as we go. All in all she...

    When will my rhode island reds start laying?

    I had the exact same thing happen with my RIR! She arrived with no tail feathers. She is now happy and a healthy 40wk old, is not laying yet and still has only a slight pink comb. I have several different breeds and only have 7 chickens. I have a Wyandotte who has had a red comb for the last...

    Egg envy chicken!

    Well, thats news to me. I thought they only 'sang' after they laid. That is a relief, save me lots of money on chicken psychologists! Thanks

    Egg envy chicken!

    Just to add to my post above, I've just heard Balla y(Wyandotte) elling that she has laid an egg again. I went out and she has been sitting on an empty nest for the last hour. She is in beautiful condition, they are free range. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with her.

    Egg envy chicken!

    31w Wyndotte is sitting on other chickens eggs for about 1.5hrs and then hopping out and yelling like she laid them!!! Goes on with the rest of her day as normal. She is definately not laying yets. Is she psycho or what!

    What the.....

    Thanks so much for the reply. Not exactly what I was hoping for, I wanted a miracle cure!!! I know ......I need to wait, not my strong suite. They are healthy and happy so that will have to be enough for the time being.

    What the.....

    New to chickens. My Light Sussex started laying at about 22 weeks. My Australorp at about 25 weeks. My Wyandottes who are both 28 weeks are not! The Buff one every couple of days will give the call the other girls give when they lay. She can be in the middle of the yard. I have looked...
