    Everything seems off in the coop

    My chickens just turned a year old at the end of March. I live in NE Ohio and ever since the time change, things have been unsettled in the coop. I'm not sure what's going on or if this is normal. Egg production has dropped to half of what it was all winter. I have only had 2 out of 11 go broody...

    Egg laying problem -not sure what to do

    One of my year old Buff Orpingtons is having some serious issues laying eggs. I was regularly finding a soft shelled egg under the roost, but hadn't for a few weeks until a few days ago. Now today, for the 2nd time in the last 2-3 weeks, I find one of the girls standing up in the nest box and...

    Is this egg smiling?

    We are in the midst of our first winter with chickens. It has been a learning experience for sure. Winter has proven the most nerve-wracking so far as new chicken owners. We have had some really bad days and some really miserable chickens a couple of times, but we are learning a lot and...

    Egg laying mishaps

    Some of my chickens started laying a couple of weeks ago. Things seemed to be going great, but this week isn't going very well and I'm not sure if what we are experiencing is normal or if I'm doing something wrong. My EE laid her first egg Saturday and not one since. That has me concerned. Then...

In the last 3 days, there have not been any green eggs in the nests. She is acting fine, eating and drinking and...

    14 week old Buff Orpington - pullet or roo?

    These are my first chickens. I got 10 buff orpingtons out of the "all pullet" bin at the farm store when they were a week old. This one looks and acts differently than the others. It is very outgoing, slimmer or maybe less "fluffy" than the others, and the comb and waddle is so big and bright...

    Araucana, Ameraucana, Easter Egger?? What breed is this chick?

    Does anyone know what this chick is? She was at the feed store in a bin labeled Araucana/Ameraucana but I googled both, and she doesn't look totally like one or the other to me. She is three weeks old, so not fully feathered yet. She has cheek tufts, and a tail. Maybe she is an Easter Egger...

    Nervous Nellie, New to chickens and to BYC

    Hi! After years of researching raising chickens, I finally took the plunge and have my first dozen three-week old chicks in a brooder in my garage. BYC has been my favorite resource thus far, so I decided to join this community to learn more and share what I have learned with others. I'm...
