    Broody girl in same coop

    My Rhode Island Red is broody and we are wanting her to hatch out some eggs. She is the top hen so we aren’t worried about anybody bullying her or pulling her out of her box that she is in. There are plenty other boxes for the other girls to lay. Is it ok to keep her in there? I would rather not...

    Missing feathers on back

    Hi everybody, My silver laced Wyandotte is missing feathers on her back. We’ve tried a chicken saddle off of Amazon but she kept pulling the back of it up towards her and freaked out with it on for about 3 days so we ended up taking it off. Is there any chicken saddle you guys can recommend...

    Is my pullet broody?

    Ok! How would you give the extra calcium? Just more egg shells? Or should I do calcium citrate for 3 days? Or something else?

    Is my pullet broody?

    She has started laying eggs again. The past 3 days I have gotten one, however it’s a thin, light colored (almost white) shell with little bumps on it. It is pretty rough textured. Does this still indicate calcium deficiency?

    Is my pullet broody?

    I’m in FL so it gets up to 90F. I am not concerned about her panting in the nesting box, just how she lays in it every day and hasn’t laid an egg in over 2 weeks.

    Is my pullet broody?

    She gets an all flock feed since I have a rooster. They are free range all day. I do give them some mealworms / black soldier fly larvae about once a day or every other day. But usually i do 1-2 handfuls for 10 chickens (not too much right?) I have 3 other girls laying right now and they all...

    Is my pullet broody?

    My sapphire gem is 18-19 weeks old. She laid 2 eggs so far. But her last one was laid July 20th. Ever since then, she has been laying in the nesting box every day but doesn’t lay. She pants in there and seems to stay in there for an hour or more. She had one soft shelled egg come out about 4...

    Sapphire gem laid her first egg!!

    She hasn’t laid an egg since then. I saw her in the nesting box yesterday but she didn’t lay. She has been acting normal and I gave her crushed egg shells and she ate them like crazy. I am hoping next time she tries to lay it will be better.

    Sapphire gem laid her first egg!!

    HELP! I just got home and my sapphire gem is not acting right. she was very slow moving and fluffed out. We saw part of an egg hanging out and I went to pick her up and it fell out. It was a soft shelled egg. She seems to be acting better now. Staying with the rest of the flock and eating and...

    Help! Egg bound hen

    She looks better now. Is walking around eating with the others. But what do I do to help this? We have seen a couple soft shelled eggs around the yard and the one that was stuck in her tonight was also soft. We have them on all flock feed since we have a rooster and free side oyster shell. She...
