    3 hens and a coop for sale $200

    We are moving and want to rehome our three Easter Egger girls and their coop. We built the coop 4 years ago from scratch and it is very heavy, might need to be taken apart to move. Two of the hens (Jan and Cindy) are 3 years old in March. I raised these two from babies. The third hen (Alice)...

    No eggs for 6 weeks

    I was curious if others are experiencing no eggs. I have 4 hens. Three are 1.5 years old and all of them recently molted and are back to fully feathered for about 2 weeks now, no eggs from any of them since late October. They are all Easter Eggers. The oldest hen (will be 3 in March) hasn't...

    Leghorn thinning head feathers, normal? Pics included

    I just noticed my white Leghorns feathers on her head are thinning and more of her red comb area is exposed. Is this normal? She is 1.5 years old. She is laying normally, active. We have a Golden Comet that we got at the same time as her and three EE'ers that are 7 months old. No one else...

    Babies now 10 weeks old!

    My three "Brady Girls", Marcia, Jan, and Cindy are 10 weeks old now! Hard to believe. They are fully integrated with our 2 full grown hens, roost (only took 2 nights of setting them up there), run around and free range having chicken fun :) I love these girls! First time with babies. The...

    Babies first night in the big hen coop!

    I'm so excited. My three 8.5 week old EE'ers spent their first day fully free ranging with our 2 older hens. They got a little "hen pecked" but not too bad. And tonight they were in the big run just before dark so I put their food in there and closed the gate. The older girls were already on...

    Raillietina Cesticillus aka Tapeworms?

    I took fecal samples to our state vet today for a test for worms. I have two 1 year old hens (a Wyandotte we had just died two days ago) and three 7 week old chicks. Since my Wyandotte went down hill so fast (less than 24 hours) I wanted to get them all tested. The Golden Comet came back as...

    6 week old chicks first night outside!!

    I was a nervous chick-mom but it was time for my three 6.5 week old EE to spend the night in their little coop. When they are big enough to hang with our 1 year old hens, they will go to that coop. They did fine! I was wishing I had a baby monitor :) Here is a picture of one (Jan) I was...

    How much time after Clavamox for eggs?

    I treated my year old hen with Clavamox (from veterinarian) for 6 days. She is a Leghorn. It has been one full week since we stopped and she has layed an egg 5 days in a row now which we have tossed :( I couldn't find a definitive answer on how long to wait. We were thinking two full weeks...

    Hen lethargic and tucking head

    Hi, I have an 1 year old Leghorn that was not herself this morning. She came out of the coop last (always first) and when I gave them scratch, she didn't come running for it as she usually does. I had to go to work and didn't think a lot of it but I asked my husband to check on her (a few...

    Babies first day out!

    Since today is the only day that will be warm in a bit, we decided to take the girls outside for the first time. Once they ventured out of the carrier (I ended up taking the top off), they loved it. Exploring the grass, sticks, sunshine! The big girls were interested, but didn't charge the...

    Feed question when chicks go out with grown hens

    I have a feed question: we have 3 hens that are 11 months old and 3 chicks that are just 2 weeks old. In another 6 weeks or so when the little girls are ready to go outside full time, how do I feed the little ones their food with the older girls getting layer feed? My plan is to take the...

    New color of egg-same hen or not

    We found this egg (the one on the bottom) today still warm in the early afternoon. We have a Golden Sex Link and White Leghorn that have been laying for 8 weeks now and a Sliver Laced Wyandotte that hasn't layed yet (33 weeks old). The browner egg on the top is a Ginger egg (GSL) and is...

    SLW with titled head

    Hi, my 7 month old SLW that previously had and still has a hard lump under her waddle to one side (but has been doing fine since we stopped the Baytril) now has her head all tilted. I went out to close the coop door last night and she wasn't inside. She was laying on the ground. I assume she...

    SLW has swollen area under waddles

    I have two SL Wyandottes that are about 29 weeks old. Neither has started laying yet. One of them has a very full or swollen area under the waddle. Is that normal? Maybe she is just maturing? Seems very healthy otherwise. It is different from the others which is why I ask. I have a white...

    First egg is brown, not an EE'er??

    Hi, we just got our first egg from Ginger this morning! We were expecting blue or green since we were told she was an EE'er. Maybe not? These pics are from June & July. She is bigger and her comb and wattle are bigger and red now. Legs are yellow. We got her at 12 weeks old from a guy who...

    Our first egg!

    Mrs. Howell (white leghorn) layed her first egg today! It weighs 41 grams. It look pretty good! Now, do I just wash it with warm/hot water and that's all? I don't need to use a bleach solution or any soap do I? We will hope for another tomorrow so we can each have one. We have three other...

    Wonderful Chicken book!

    I just finished reading: Once Upon A Flock by Lauren Scheuer, it was simply wonderful and heartwarming! I just wanted to recommend it if you haven't read it. The real life story was so cute and the illustrations and photos were delightful. Two BIG thumbs up!

    I was given this feed (by the feed store) for my 10 week old Leghorn and two Wyandottes. I now also have a 12 week old EE. I was wondering if this was the right feed for their age? I have had them 2 weeks so they are 12 weeks old and we just got the EE. Organic 17% Hi-Energy Layer feed is...
