    Vocal hen quiet and lethargic after laying soft-shelled egg

    This morning our most vocal hen was very lethargic as the other three pecked and ate. In fact, she was bedded down in the run and not responding to my movements. It wasn't until I walked right over to where she was resting that she moved, and then she only moved to the other side of the run and...

    Jersey Giants (I think), but are those spurs coming in?

    Here are a few better shots of the chicks in an attempt to get a more "head on" shot. Jack

    Jersey Giants (I think), but are those spurs coming in?

    Here's a photo of both. If it's not direct enough, or too blurry, let me know and I can grab 'em and get a better shot. Jack

    Jersey Giants (I think), but are those spurs coming in?

    Our chicks are 5 weeks old today. When we bought them, we were told one was a Jersey Giant, and the other was something else. After watching the birds grow for 4.5 weeks, they appear very similar in size and shape. The only significant difference is the coloring of their feet (shown below)...

    Barred Rock stopped laying, stays in laying box

    Hey guys, Thanks for taking a minute to respond. This is the first time we've been through broodiness, and I'm happy to hear she's okay. We'll start trying to break her of her natural desire to be a momma! Jack

    Barred Rock stopped laying, stays in laying box

    We've got three hens: a barred rock and an americana who are both about 1 year old, and a production red who's about 2.5 years old. The barred rock and americana both started laying last fall and have been reliable producers. Over the coldest part of the winter, all the birds dramatically slowed...
