    Older hen laying phantom eggs

    Hi all, My sweet, smart 7-year old alpha hen Lady Sybil (Ameraucana) seems to have started laying phantom eggs. She laid her final/lash egg about a month ago, and now she goes into the nest, sits for an hour, then comes out singing the egg song...except there’s no egg. I thank her and she...

    Please help me identify what is wrong w/ my hen's skin!

    Silver Laced Wyandotte or Black Australorp? ***Alleged Pullet***

    I don't have any prior experience with Wyandottes. Meet Gilly (far right in first pic). This chick is approximately six weeks old. "She" developed the huge single comb and waddles within the last week. She's supposedly a Silver Laced Wyandotte, but I have serious doubts. The farm center...

    My RIR Hen Went Psycho and Attacked Me. Looking for Input.

    Hi chicken people, I've been reading this forum for a couple of years, but just joined today so I could ask this question. My husband and I just returned from a 10-day trip. This morning when I approached the chicken coop after letting out my 3 girls, my Rhode Island Red hen Bernie full-on...
