    Still not laying

    ok. I’ve searchEd everywhere in the run and haven’t found any eggs. I don’t light the coop in the winter so I guess I’ll wait until spring. It’s a good thing she’s so pretty, little free loader.

    Still not laying

    Hello everyone! I have a barnevelder pullet that is 42 weeks old and still not laying. Is this normal for her breed? My chickens are in a run so I know she’s not hiding them anywhere. I’ve never had one take soooo long to lay! They are fed a flock raiser with oyster shell on the side. I’m...

    Ok, I just went out to check my broody girl and I smelled something funky. I reached under her and found pieces of egg shell! She still has two left that are untouched. When we candled on day 10 we left the three that were developing but we also found egg shells of one she had already eaten...

    What's your favorite thing about owning chickens?

    Walking backwards

    My top hen does this and has been doing it for at least six months! I have no idea why she started but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She eats, poops and lays like she should. :idunno
