    2 year old hens stopped laying

    Hmm. This had been happening even in late summer but especially now. Hopefully it’s as simple as that!

    2 year old hens stopped laying

    I have 4 hens and 3 of the 4 have stopped laying. One of them I know is molting, but I’m not sure what up with the other two. They haven’t laid an egg 3-4 weeks. Any ideas why? Thank you!

    Thank you. I took a closer look and a photo. See what you think. To me they don’t really look like they would be pin feathers.

    Are pin feathers the new feathers coming in? If so, I will take a look. Thank you!

    Is this from bullying?

    I have 4 hens. One of them I’ve observed is definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. I am wondering if the missing feathers on both wings is a result of this or something I should be concerned about. I inspected her and don’t see any mites. No other birds are missing any feathers like...

    One hen making a moaning sound and squeaky hiccup

    Thank you for the reply. I pray you’re right. Once I started reading up on respiratory illness I started getting a bit terrified. So many possible ailments. Makes your head spin! I’ll report back in the morning. Thank you!

    One hen making a moaning sound and squeaky hiccup

    Just noticed this as I went to put my girls to bed. Something is going on. My neighbor told me she heard quite a commotion in the coop earlier today. I didn’t see any apparent injuries. Any ideas please??

    It’s hard to get an idea of how big the space is

    2 of 4 chickens won’t roost

    There are three roosting bars in there, so there should be enough room. The hens are 2 years old. This only started a couple months ago. Not sure what changed

    2 of 4 chickens won’t roost

    It started at the beginning of summer where 3 of my girls would hang out on the ramp to the coop rather than go in when it got dark. The one same hen that would go in, would roost, no problem. I couldn’t really figure out why that was happening, but since the sun has started setting earlier...

    Stopped go in coop at night

    Hello all, update: My neighbor, who also has chickens recommended I put a light inside the coop and put that on as it gets dark to lure them in, and sure enough that did the trick! Funny, sometimes it’s the simplest thing! I know chickens aren’t always the brightest animal, seems like a...
