Thanks so much I've been worried she's a great layer and quite friendly I didn't want something to happen to her that I could've prevented. Thanks again.
I have a red star hen about two years old I got from an aunt that said she was getting picked on that was the reason for the missing feathers I've had her for about 5mos now and she hasn't grown a single feather back I check for mites weekly she consistently lays (I don't eat the eggs for this...
Thanx for the info I'm new to this but I'm already a chicken junkie..Building my own incubator gonna try hatching some..I'll keep yall posted..thanx again
I've got three comets and three rocks all the comets are laying as of today they are all the same age about 5mos the rocks haven't even started developing waddles or combs these are my first chickens I'm just wondering if the rocks are gonna lay any time soon.
Cool, I appreciate it very much. I think I might read too much about chickens I stay so paranoid about worms and other parasites that if I see the slightest thing I throw the egg away and since I only have one laying right now thats not very effective for their purpose.
I do, I'm still new to this, my eggs are'nt in the nesting box any longer than 24hrs is that long enough to develop a bullseye? I've only had chickens for about 4mos now having a great time. This website has been fantastic for info.
There has been a weird spot that is almost the color of a cooked yolk on the yolk of one my hens eggs I stopped eating them can't figure out what it is. It's about the diameter of a #2 pencil eraser.
4 barred rocks, 4 golden comets, Guinea roo and hen. Much more to come when the fences go up.
