    Suggestions as to why my chickens are not laying

    I have 4 BR and 5 RIR and am only getting 0-2 eggs a day and out of the same hens. I'm trying to figure out why the others aren't laying. They get plenty of sleep, food, water,and have a big fenced yard. I've looked to see if they've been laying in the yard but have found nothing. Only one of...

    RIR has poop stuck in cloaca

    My RIR is not herself today. She is usually loud and in your face, but today she quiet and sluggish. I haven't heard one peep and that's rare. I found her in the nesting box this morning so I thought she was laying an egg. She gets up and here's this huge pile of nasty green runny poop in the...

    Barred Rock has orange comb

    One of my barred rocks has an orange comb. It is usually red, but she is not laying right now. We have had a ton of rain recently, so could the weather affect her? I just want to make sure that an orange comb is nothing to be worried about.

    Lethargic chicken

    I have a BR who has had many problems in the past. In August of last year she had sour crop, a virus, and was egg bound all in a row. She recovered, except for a slight limp, but is otherwise fine. She became a year old in April, and is the diva of my flock. She talks all the time and loves...

    I am taking care of my neighbors chickens for 4 days, and they told me that they are receiving 3-4 eggs a day out of 8 hens. I looked at them tonight when I was shutting them in their coop, and some of them look skinny and don't have the shiny feathers that I would expect this time of year. I'm...

    Hey fellow Oregonians! Just wondered how everyone and their chickens are enjoying the rain we're having. My girls can't wait for summer and I don't blame them; it's pretty miserable. How are your chickens faring?

    Shivering chicken

    I have a Barred Rock that is 9 months old. I found her today in the nesting box shivering. She is molting and it is in the low 50s. It is rainy and windy.

    Need some advice about one of my layers!

    One of my BR has not laid for 2 weeks. It started when she had a pale comb and was not interacting with all the other birds. I checked her for lice and mites and found nothing. Now her comb is beautiful and she is active. From what I can tell she has been eating and drinking normally but still...

    Hens have been laying for 3 months, when will my eggs get big?

    I have 5 RIR and 4 BR. They started laying in the beginning of August and their eggs are now a nice medium sized but are still small. I know they're supposed to be about twice the size they are now, so when is that supposed to happen? I've been seeing after their first molt is when the eggs get...

    Barred Rock has pale comb and seems tired, what is going on?

    Right now we are experiencing a big rainstorm. I got home and counted all my girls and noticed one missing. I found her under the coop all by herself. She got up and I picked her up and noticed her comb is pale. She also seems tired. Is it just the weather affecting her? Before I left today she...
