    Female Khaki Campbell sitting often

    I have a female khaki Campbell who’s is acting strange. She’s <1 year old and started laying a few weeks ago (I’d say 8 weeks). It’s now winter, snowy, and icey and I notice that she will walk a few feet then stop and sit down, get up walk then sit. When she walks she looks fine, but I can’t...

    If my hens don't start laying, into the pot they'll go!

    Hey everyone! I'm new to BYC and am newer to chickens than I thought. I had them growing up, but it's been a few years, am finally out on my own, married, starting my little zoo, and am lost and confused not having good old mom around all the time to help me out. I have recently purchased 4...

    Redcap or not?

    I just purchased some new chickens to start my flock with. I was told that they were redcaps and between a year and a year a half old. I've had them now for almost two months and they haven't laid any eggs yet. I'm wondering if this is normal (because when I purchased them, I was told they...
