    Any ideas?

    I should mention it's also possible she is a blue Ameracana, she has tiny little feathers that may be the whiskers

    Any ideas?

    Thank you. I did not I got them from.a friend , that being said people are constantly giving him eggs and chicks. I think she is in fact a red sex link but I'm wondering if the grey one isnt a blue Jersey giant?

    No Shell on the Egg

    Mine do this once in a while as well. Old and young chickens do it. I also have laying pellets but offer oyster shells. You can also use their own shells ( bake at 200 for 10 mins, cool and crush) that will help but oyster shells are easier. I wouldn't worry too much about an egg or two. If...

    Terrible start

    Really? They seem to really like it in that one so I never thought of it. It's about 4 ft by 3 ft. Plus 2 nesting cubicles. They all sleep on top of each other out of choice lol. How big should it be for 3 girls? 2 are medium/large and 1 is quite small

    Laying pellets for feed plus greens as a snack sunflower seeds and boiled beef bones are the main ones. Also some fruit here and there. All in moderation of course.

    Terrible start

    The coop/run is massive for 3 girls. I beleive ita 14 ft by 10 and covered with their little coop inside. They have free roam in it. We had alot of issues last year with the old ones eggs. She quite often would have them on her butt if they had no shell or she would lay with an incomplete...

    Need advice

    Thank you I will check her for sure.. she is still her active self. I think it may be that she laid an egg without the shell and then sat on the others causing a munch fest.

    Thankfully they are frozen at the moment. Not as bad. I would have never thought of that as the cause though. Definitely glad I know now to check

    Really? Crap I never thought of the cracks being an issue and now that you say that they didnt start laying this early last year. Omg that makes me feel a bit better.

    Terrible start

    I keep looking online and I get mixed answers. Some say food is an issue others say boredom... I'm kind of at a loss. They have the best food I can get ( plus snacks) they have a whole jungle gym in their coop (beyond spoiled). The old girl like I said is at least 6 years old maybe older and...

    Terrible start

    Hey guys, I need some advice or wisdom. This will be my second year with chickens. I have three, I have an older Easter Egger probably 6 years old, I have a little white and black one I'm assuming an Americana 3 to 4 years old, and a black sex link that just turned 2. I'm in Ontario and the...
