    I've inherited a "mystery chicken"... she's a TS special, has quite the comb, weird white ear patches, eats like a horse. Any guesses for breed?

    Right??? I'm pretty excited about this! She has just started laying-eggs are white and medium-sized. Thanks for the response!!

    Any guesses for breed? I inherited her from my daughter, she's a TS special, 22 weeks, very large floppy comb, weird white ear patches, eats like a horse... I'm just curious because I'm not sure which eggs are hers (if any)... the other 3 hens she came with are easily identifiable. TIA!!!

    Any way to train my cheerleader chicken to pipe down?

    OMG!!! I love this! Believe it or not, I have a Australorp that does the same thing. That thing will raise a racket for hours over the other 5 or 6 laying...the neighbors down the road are quite aware of when laying begins and ends daily. Sorry, but I have no idea how to quiet this behavior...

    More than shoving calcium down her throat every day and fussing at her being a roost hog at night?!? Just kidding...I do actually talk sweet to her and pet her. She just doesn't eat that up like the others.

    Well there's a thought... I'll try anything at least once 😉

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    I'm really thinking this is what it is. I've got 6 other hens that are her age to 2 y/o... they're not having ANY issues. Time will tell...Thanks!

    I just might give that a try and see if that helps. I like having "happy" hens... she's just "meh"...

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    I know this hen doesn't eat the crushed oyster shell. She is most likely cleaning up whatever mis-happen eggs she's laying becuz I haven't seen ANY blue egg shell at all. My other hens are so excited about treat time, there's nothing left of what I put out. I think this is Nature's way of...

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    She's pretty, and has gotten used to me shoving calcium tabs down her throat. She's not going anywhere, but I really am perplexed with her egg-laying and overall behavior. Thank you for your input.

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    Yes!!! I like to give them a variety. This hen just really isn't all that interested in much of anything. She's been that way from the start. The others are VERY SOCIAL and greet me at the door, telling me all the stories and such. She just acts BORED 🤷

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    My flock has been on Purina Layena from the start. All my other hens are AWESOME. They lay great eggs every day (4 or more from 7 hens). No problems ever. It's just this one...that I of course thought I HAD to have cuz of her egg color. She's not even friendly like my other hens. I'm quite put...

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    I guess I'm most perplexed by the fact that I'm shoving calcium down her throat, and her eggs have gone from thin shelled to NO SHELL....

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    She is the newest addition, but has been around 4 months now. She is generally apathetic towards the rest of the flock, and they pretty much ignore her too. At night tho, that's a whole other story. She is first to roost, front and center, and absolutely will NOT share the roost bar with another...

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    I have 7 hens. I give them either a cup of 5grain scratch with meal worms and crushed oyster shell or a handful of peanut suet balls every day. One or the other, but not both. This hen really isn't into the "treats". Rarely will she eat any. I also pick dandelion greens once a week and toss...

    STILL having issues with my Ameracauna's eggs 😤

    A couple months back I posted about my new hen's eggs being broken by the other hens...her eggs were light blue and had a fairly decent shell. Over time, the shells became thinner, and I watched one break on it's way out. I've been giving her calcium citrate 630mg pretty much every day. She has...

    Breaking my blue eggs...those Haters!

    Another broken blue egg today...and yes, the shell was THIN! I rushed right on out and picked up some calcium. Thank you for the advice.
