    Chickens dying

    My remaining hen is a 3 year old black decline. She lays eggs regularly - about 5 a week. She doesn’t have lice or mites and she’s been recently dewormed. I don’t see or feel any swelling or bloat, but I could probably miss that unless it was very obvious. To me, she doesn’t look any different...

    Any Opinions on Black Sex-Links?

    I LOVE my bsl. She’s a daily layer of xl eggs. She’s friendly and dependable. She’s never broody. I will definitely have more of this breed in the future.

    Curious about Rhode Island Reds

    I have a RIR and she’s the last of that breed that I’ll have. She pecks, is mean, and is super broody. I have to remove her from the nesting box at least every few days. I did have a Barred Rock and she was a great chicken. She was calm and sweet and a good layer. I also have a Black Star...
