    2 and a half year old Hen becoming a Rooster

    I have a flock of 16 hens. 14 are less than a year and two of them are about 2 and half years old. These two older hens are the top of the pecking order and the one that is the Top, "alpha" hen has been behaving like a rooster after giving me a very generous batch of eggs for two years (she even...

    Easter Egger Laying "Fairies"

    I have a mixed flock of 18 hens. They are all about 17 weeks old (except for my three 2 and a half year olds). One of my 17 week old Ameraucanas started laying two days ago (seems early to me). Both of the eggs she laid are small "fairy" eggs about half the size of the older chickens normal...

    Sick Symptoms

    I have 5 chickens (all about a year old). One of them is an "Easter-Egger". This very cold winter she stopped laying and all the others produced plenty of eggs. I am told it is normal for her breed to stop in winter. She started laying again on the first day of Spring. However, for the last...

    One Chicken stopped laying

    I have 5 chickens. 4 of them lay brown eggs and one lays blue eggs. So I know for sure one is not laying. The "easter-egger" stopped laying about 2 weeks ago when we had our first cold spell. The others are still laying about one a day or every other day. The chicken that used to lay blue eggs...

    Sleeping Habits

    I have a coop in my yard that I have built a 10 foot long by 5 foot wide by 8 foot high cage around. When my chickens (5) were small they all went in the coop at night and slept. When they got big they all started sleeping on the roof of the coop. This made for a very messy roof. So to get them...

    Chicken Vanished

    One of my flock was plucked out of the coop or flew the coop. I woke up and I was one less chicken. Thing is I can't find the body or any blood or traces of struggle. There were a few clumps of feathers but no blood anywhere. I went to the roof of my house to see if there was a carcass or fly...

    One Chicken Not Growing

    I have 3 Buff Orpingtons. One I hatched from an egg. The other two I got from someone that told me were born at the same time and were always together. I got them when they were about 2 and a half months old. One was smaller than the other and he told me that is how they were since birth...
