    21 chickens and all of a sudden NONE of them are laying

    Maybe that would explain why it looks like they got in a pillow fight with feather pillows.... ;-) Thanks... so how long does this take? Frick'n chickens.

    21 chickens and all of a sudden NONE of them are laying

    Most of the girls are a about 2 and about five of them are older and probably don't lay much anymore... The most eggs we have gotten is 12 in a day but in the last 3 days we got 2 then 4 and then nothing today. No changes, they are fenced into 1 acre and sometimes we let them totally free range...

    only 1 hatched day 4 do I remove eggs from broody?

    Quote: If you hear peeping there is still hope of chicks. I'd leave them! Take the mom and baby some food and water instead of waiting for mom to take the chick and show it food. Peeping is good!!! I hope you hatch out some more healthy babies!! They have food and water but she won't...

    only 1 hatched day 4 do I remove eggs from broody?

    No pips on the other two eggs and she won't get off of the nest to take her 4 day old to eat or drink. So do I remove the other eggs? I have an incubator... do I move the other two eggs inside. Is there a way to tell if they are viable? I don't want the baby to starve.

    Broody Silkie

    you will have more each day if you don't confine her.... I ended up moving mine and after candeling and such narrowed it down to three fertile ones. One hatched this morning. My silkie is white and the baby is black.... stolen egg! Can't wait to see what the other two look like.

    My hens are over 6 months old & are not laying!

    I have three six month olds and one just started laying last week. She has only missed one day... she just keeps popping them out. She hops right in the same box with my RIR, Leghorn and other big girls. Her little eggs are so cute sitting next to the big girls. I didn't see it coming... all of...

    Help me sleep better: coyote protection

    ...quickly. I had two coyotes in the back yard this morning. one 100 feet away and the other 30 feet away. Unless I stay outside the entire time I can't let them out. Of course one got taken from me when I was on the back patio and they were in the flower bed 3 feet from me. Scared the s**t out...

    Does anyone else hate their neighbors as much as I do???

    My neighbors and myself both live on 5 acres but someone had the dumb brain idea to put the houses 300ft back off of the rd but only 40 feet apart. There is a ditch running between the two driveways and the neighbor owns four feet this side of the ditch. When we first moved in - just to be nice...

    Help me sleep better: coyote protection

    Quote: yes, while I was in the back yard with them - happened twice. I have shot at them, chased them, bought a dog... nothing helps. I free range but only when I am home. For me having them locked up kind of defeated the purpose of having chickens but i have paid the price. Its been better...

    Help me sleep better: coyote protection

    I've ordered a "coyote deterant" it should be here in a couple weeks. It sounds like a mountian lion, tires on gravel etc but at a whisper so coyotes can hear it but humans are not bothered. I will let you know if it works. I have lost nine chickens to coyotes. They grab them 3 feet away from...

    Gun Owners and Non-Gun Owners should come to a Meeting of the Minds

    I never allowed guns in my house. I always felt if you had it you would use it and afraid the kids would get ahold of them. THEN i got chickens and we have Coyotes. We have two guns in the house now and I have shot them (and missed) several Coyotes. We keep them up high and the ammo locked. I...

    Do ckickens and blue heelers mix?

    My Border Collie is fine with the Chickens. He is 13 weeks and the breeder we got him from had chickens... this probably helped. He herds them... follows, lays down, follows but then if they get moving real fast he will leap and twist-that puppy thing just kicks in and he can't help himself. I...

    Quote: Both times I got the call at 7:30 am. I live outside of Mt. Vernon so I would assume you will get an early call. I left info with my name and home and cell numbers at the front desk of the post office to give them a heads up they were coming. (I went down and got them instead of having...

    Inconsistent laying in White Leghorn pullet

    Same thing here. Eggs, Eggs, Eggs. Then for 4 weeks nothing. We had record breaking heat last week ... I guess their just new at it and didn't read the manual. Or as my husband says "maybe they are duds" like a bad firework - they just don't work!
