    Help!! My poor girl won't get up and move around

    I don't know if she's egg bound or if there is something else going on. She seemed totally normal yesterday and when I just checked on her this afternoon, she was just sitting there. Any ideas? If she is egg bound, what do I do?

    Some of my girls still aren't laying and the ones who did stopped.

    So if I switch back to grower, will they hopefully start laying?

    This is what the TSC website says: Layer Feeds Layer feeds are designed to provide optimum nutrition for birds laying eggs for consumption. Layer feeds contain 16% protein and have increased levels of Calcium, for proper shell development. Layer feeds should be fed starting around 18 weeks of...

    So what you're saying is, even though they started laying, I shouldn't be feeding them all layer? I have no way of separating the layers from the non layers. I assumed, but the name, you feed them layer when they start laying.

    They seem pretty healthy, except for the laying... They have been on layer feed for almost 2 months because that's when the first ladies started laying. We don't have an actual door from the coop to the run because it's all enclosed and it's been so hot, so they've had pretty much unrestricted...

    Ok, so I'm not sure if anything can be done at this point. Our back gate broke so we had to pen all of our chickens up in a space that was probably too small for them all. We also had my parents chickens until recently. 14 in total. 4 started laying, but haven't given any eggs in at least a...

    What color is this bunny?

    That's kinda tough.. I'd be inclined to call it sable, but with all that gold, I just don't know.

    Confused about a leghorn

    oh, yay!! I was worried It was another rooster. This is by far the reddest comb of my flock and I just didn't want to believe I have another rooster. Do they just sit in the box like that if they are trying to lay?

    Confused about a leghorn

    So here it is. It is acting all strange right now. Just sitting in the nest box. They usually just run from me but this one was just chilling in the nest box and even let me pet it a lot. I tried nudging it out of the box and it wouldn't really move.

    Confused about a leghorn

    So all of my chickens are roughly the same age. One just layed their first egg yesterday. One of my white leghorns has a rather large comb and waddles compared to the other 2. We already had a rooster in the bunch and he crowed a month ago. I'm just curious how can I tell by the comb and waddle...

    What age/weight do you process your meat rabbits?

    They are a NZ mix. I just weighed a couple here at 11 weeks and they are just over 3 lbs. I have to process this week no matter what because my son is having surgery next week and will be at the hospital for 3 weeks.

    What age/weight do you process your meat rabbits?

    I keep hearing that 12 weeks is a good age, but I can't seem to get rabbits up over a couple of pounds at that age. The parents are quite large, but a living rabbit that only weighs 3lbs doesn't dress out to much. Any recommendations?
