I have a 5 month old Gold Laced Cochin Standard Rooster . I live in Hereford Az and would like to Rehome him.
If anyone local is interested please contact me. He is beautiful.
I know all those places you can order from. Just not wanting to go that route if I don't have too. You should invest n overhead cover for your flock.
Mine free ranged when we were in Boise. I can not take that chance here.
What predators do you have out there? Can you post up photos of your set up?
You name it we got it. Coyotes are the most prominent then the hawks.I only have a temp run set up that includes an enclosed dog run i the middle, the secret is the completely hard closed coop for the night. I'll...
I went to CalRanch and they only offer straight run, Ace does not do chicks at all. And I so far can not locate anything else in my area. Bisbee is only 3 miles ad Tombstone not much further, I'll look there. Thanks
I went out to check all my brood. And looked at each hens vent that is laying and compared it to Lilly's vent. Lilly's vent is not moist at all. It is very dry.

She definitely is not in poor health.She is very healthy and active. No hidden places. I have searched the yard and know every inch.
Could she be what I have heard called "asexual" which I believe is explained as not female not male.Is anyone familiar with this?
I know which egg belongs to who visually. .And we have a camera set up on the coop and see who comes and goes. Lilly is never among them. I do not care that she doesn't lay. Just curious as to what could be the cause. Could she have been born with out the reproductive organs?
My ameraucana hen Lilly is 17 months old and has to this day never laid an egg. She is very healthy. Loves to come and sit in your lap and get petted. She has really never shown a interest or attempt in any way. She is also believes she is Princess and next in line for Queen of the hen yard.

Thank you for the replies.I have oyster shell in her crumble. And she has been getting cottage cheese or yogurt as an extra treat.
She had a rough time with this molt. And I have also feeding ground up shell back into her food.Anything else that I can do to assist her thru?
I certainly hope this...
My New Hampshire Red hen has gone through a hard molt. She looks much better has many new feathers and still alot of pin feathers to open. The last few days she has started going to the coop and act like she is going to lay.
I noticed yesterday that she layed what I would call an incomplete egg...
