    Hen not laying...

    Okay, Diana was showing a little bit of moult around her neck but not a huge amout - probably why I missed it before. I de-tic'd the entire coop from top to bottom and chickens who didn't like me very much for this act but they forgave me when I gave them salad - yum! The following morning...

    My egg Stopped Chriping and Shaking

    That's normal, it's a huge ordeal breaking through your own shell! Well done for not panicking :-D

    Thank you everyone! For all the Americans, I hope you don't mind my useful term of the word Colour - it happens a lot ;-) x

    Hen not laying...

    Not that I can see - feathers are fine and I de-lice the chickens and coop regularly. I can have another look in the 'morrow after work and see if there's anything different about her. The wyndotte's giving us eggs like there's no tomorrow and she's in the same coop, too.

    Hen not laying...

    I have two bantam pekins, one of them, Anntwynette, has 2 chicks and is happily taking care of them. She's not laid eggs since having the chicks hatch and I figure this to be normal as she's got two babs to look after. Her sister, Diana, is in a seperate living space with my other hen...

    My egg Stopped Chriping and Shaking

    That happened to one of mine, depending on how long it has been since it was chirping and moving about depends on what's happened. If you leave it be, nature should take it's course as intended though I agree this is rediculously hard!! I am sorry to say that, unfortunately in my case, the...
