    Sick Java

    Nuggets is about 1 1/2 years old. She hasn't laid since June. She remained active and was eating fine. She started molting about 3 1/2 weeks ago. Since then, her comb has lost its bright red color and has started to "shrink". Her wattles are loosing colors as well. She was also quiet...

    What is this ?

    This morning I found something that looks like a grape on the floor of the coop. It is similar in size and is reddish brown. It has some kind of "navel" at one extremity. (see pics) My hens have not laid eggs since the end of May. I have tried everything and have given up on them laying...

    When to call it quit

    I have 3 hens; 2 Javas and 1 Wyandotte. One of my Java stopped laying 4 months ago now. Checked for all the recommended suspects, nothing works. The Wyandotte stopped 3 weeks after her. The other Java has been broody on and off and is now molting. Needless to say I am buying eggs ... and food...

    Javas and egg production

    Finally, I found a forum about Javas. Got 2 of them (backyard flock, can have only 3 hens, the 3rd one is a Golden Laced Wyandotte) Got my hens in January (I live in SoCal) at 28 weeks. They were already laying 4-5 eggs/week each, which was great. 1 Java laid her last egg on May 17 (I used...

    I think I got it ! Why are my hens not laying

    I need your input here. I am still not getting any eggs. It's been 2 months (to the day) that Nuggets, my Java, has stopped laying. Dexter, my Wyandotte has stopped 3 weeks after Nuggets and is still "on break". There are a few feathers here and there, but unless they are extremely slow...

    "Bumpy" eggs

    My Wyandotte has been laying eggs with lots of little hard bump on the top which make the top of the eggs really rough. She also has been laying sometimes while on the roost as I find some soft shelled eggs on the coop floor in the morning. She seems fine, eats, scratches and runs around like...

    Is used coffee grinds bad for chickens?

    I just put some coffee grinds and ground egg shells on my plants, not thinking that my hens had access to this part of my garden. Do any of you know if it is bad for chickens if they ingest some? Thanks

    How do you "break" broodiness?

    One of my hen is sitting. Since I have them in my backyard with NO rooster, she is wasting her time. I have read about putting the broody hen in a cage for a few days without bedding but water and food, of course. If I do that, can I leave her with the other girls outside and put her in the...

    Broody or not broody, that is the question

    I have 3 hens in my backyard. Started almost 3 months ago. I have 2 Javas and one Golden Wyandotte. I love them and have a lot of fun. One of the Javas has started about a week ago to stop roosting at night. She just stays on the floor of the coop. When I put her on the roost, she seems to...
