    2 year old sex-link

    My 2 year old sex-link had been laying eggs up until a few months ago. Her roommate is still laying eggs (not same breed). She goes up in the coop like she's going to lay, but nothing.

    Baby chicks found dead

    I have a new momma hen, she was sitting on 5 eggs. Found 3 dead so far, can not see anything wrong with them. She has 2 more under her. What would be causing them to die? They were a day old, perfectly formed. Is she stepping on them or smothering them?

    Mamma died

    My mamma hen died last night and she really never integrated the her 10 week old baby into the flock. They are not accepting her. She has been crying, so sad and she is sitting on my back door step. The other chickens have left her and I don't know what to do.

    It looks like my hen is dying and her chick, who is old enough to go with the rest of the flock, won't leave her.They have been together since she was born for months. They are very close.

    Our 1 year old black sex-link quit laying. The other 2 are laying everyday. She goes into the nest everyday to lay, but nothing. She also was laying some very small eggs, no yoke.

    Hen's killing one of my hen, feather by feather.

    Is it okay to use my horse fly repellent on my hen? She was attacked by her flock and hurt her horribly, tore up her vent. I just want to put her out when she heals up and I know she will never be able to go back to the flock. I just want to make sure that flies can't get to her bottom. She is...

    I wanted to know how much a person has felt when they lost a pet chicken in their arms I'm having her cremated and I can't seem to get over her death.

    Am I just over emotional or has anyone felt like this? The few chickens we have left, I just can't care about. She was a half indoor/outdoor chicken. She even had a diaper.

    I have a hen that is sitting on two eggs and now have a hen laying eggs in the same nest.

    I thought it was strange when my broody hen would get off the two eggs that we let her have, another hen would sit on the eggs until the other hen came back and get off the eggs. Now I finally had a look at the nest when they were off it and the other hen has been laying eggs, 5 so far. What...
