    8 month egg laying break?

    Last February those were first two "pullets" ever. Now after having gone through hatches, pullets and roosters of all various breeds & sizes and knowing what I know now, having even a large orpington and many breeds that at 7-8 months of age weren't as large as she was then, it makes sense. I...

    8 month egg laying break?

    Thank you! I do give them vitamins! And she is never in the nesting box, not ever. She was not my top layer to begin with. However I'm wondering if she was perhaps older than the woman said whom I purchased her from. I did a hatch over the summer of chicks and also purchased one pullets, most...

    8 month egg laying break?

    And they are all on layer feed, have oyster shell and I also give scratch occasionally and treats likes lettuce, leftover pasta, meat, chicken, also sometimes cucumbers, watermelons and scrambled eggs. She's my only free loader so it's very odd. They dust bath, I check for lice, mites and worms...

    8 month egg laying break?

    No I purchased her at four months. And no she is definitely not broody. Does not go near eggs or nesting boxes. Eats and drinks daily fine and hangs with the other hens. I have a small yard and follow her around like crazy, I'm obsessed lol! But I've had two go into a break during molt and lay...

    My EE Emilio whom I got April 2016 laid up until the of May, then went into an early molt in August and hasn't laid since! Is this normal? I have 10 other hens who are all laying just fine. And no, she is nowhere near broody!

    What is this for a poop?

    I could but the vets in my neck of the woods charge an arm and a leg for this especially now that chicken medications have been banned in this state and only provided by a avian vet who we do not have locally. I do have corid powder on hand.

    Where does the blood go!?

    Thank you all for the wonderful responses! I think perhaps because in most videos or tutorials they have already culled many and/or just hearing "bucket" makes one wonder lol. Sounds easy enough. Now I have a hen who had a vent prolapse twice, I was able to get her back to normal however, no...

    Where does the blood go!?

    I have a question. I have read one cull tutorial after the other and watched countless videos. Only my ONE question hasn't been answered by one. When you kill and drain the chicken, what do you do with the blood!? Where does it go??!

    Never ending Gleet after prolapse

    Thank you. She has been dropping eggs all over my backyard, sometime Two a day, it is so bizarre and because I can't possibly always catch her dropping them, my hens are eating her eggs. Is it safe to cull and eat a hen with this condition?

    Never ending Gleet after prolapse

    My legbar had a vent prolapse, I was able to follow procedures to get her back to good health. It worked the first time and the second time however her vent gleet will not go away. Ironically she STILL lays daily no problem. I have tried EVERYTHING to cure her vent gleet and she is my ONLY hen...

    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    I would very much like to share this information, that for the worms some of my hens did have, I had done the full seven day treatment of wazine in September followed by 7 days of antibiotics only for the problems to reoccur. I then did the corid powder followed by more wazine for the problem...

    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    Thank you! I did read in other posts that the wazine only treated a small variety of warms. Last time I contacted a few local veterinarians they did not offer float tests of fowl feces. Which is alarming in the wine country where most housing is rural ranches. I will do more calling around today...
