    No more eggs?!

    Hey everyone. I’m looking for some advice. We have 8 pullets around 20ish weeks. 6 Australorps, and 2 Easter Eggers. They laid maybe a total of about 10 pullet eggs, over the coarse of about a week. Now, we haven’t seen a single egg for almost a week! I had 5 NH Reds a couple years ago, and...

    What breeds are my girls?

    I’m pretty sure they were mislabeled as chicks. I thought I bought Auracaunas, and Jersey Giants. I’m pretty sure my black girls are Austrolorps, but I have no clue what my brown girls are. Any ideas?

But these tiny eggs are mostly yolks, with very little white. Anything...

    hi everyone. I need help please. I have my 2 ducklings in a big tote (I’m not home so I can’t measure it, but I think it’s an 80+ gallon tote) but the ducklings are growing so fast that they don’t have much run around room. I’m talking less than 12”. We have their water container sitting on a...

    Lethargic baby chick

    so I have a baby chick who seems to be very sleepy. When she’s in the box with her sisters they run over her, stand on her etc. she does startle, and will stand some, but I have been having to force her to drink, and as far as I can tell she hasn’t been eating much. She was a little more active...

    PLEASE HELP!!

    I'm kind of freaking out. What the heck is wrong with my chicken?! No mites on her vent. She's only about 8 months old... I'm really concerned! She's the only one out of 5 that look like this. Here is one of the others for reference. Here are my pictures of her:

    Is she just molting? Is she sick? She's the only one who looks like this.

    Lull in egg laying??

    I have 5 Newhampshire Reds, and in the last week we have gone from averaging 4 eggs, to only 1 egg per day!! The only thing that is different in their routine is I changed their bedding straw to pine shavings. And I added a heat lamp to their coop for when it gets cold. I've searched and...

    First egg rubbery. Normal?

    I have 5 New Hampshire Red hens. One is laying, and has layed 5 eggs that are small, but the shells are hard, and thick. The yolks are dark, and the whites hold together unlike store bought! Before work I checked, and no eggs. After work I checked, and apparently my kid locked them out of...

    21 weeks and no eggs yet

    I have 5 New Hampshire Red hens. I got them as chicks on March 3rd. They are regularly fed/watered. They are on a "pullet developer" feed right now, and everything I have read says to keep them on it until they start laying, then to switch them to layers pellets or mash. But they aren't laying...

    Introducing babies to 9 week(ish) old chickens

    I'm laying outside in front of the coop to watch what the older ones do. But thought maybe a short intro each day (it's a good temp outside, but not near warm enough to just let the babies be out all day) to help with the transition. For the most part, the older chickens aren't too interested in...

    Gender of these birds?

    They are all New Hampshire chicks. I can't remember how old they are. I think around 9 weeks. But these are 4 of 5, and I'm afraid they are all roosters. Only because they are SO different in size, and personality, and comb/waddle development than the one I'm absolutely positive is a hen. Sorry...
