    Favorelles and laying two eggs a day?

    For context, I have a Salmon Favorelle named Queenie, and a Green Queen (lots of salmon favorelle ancestry) named Dolly. When Queenie first started laying she used to lay two smaller eggs each day, and she did this through when she first began laying until she fully moulted for the first time...

    2 month old pullet has bloody poop

    This morning I went to put my two 2mo pullets out in their pen, they've been sleeping in a fenced off wing in the main Coop to adjust them to sleeping outside and to safely get them used to the older hens and vice versa, which I've done before and is going fine, and there was blood. I looked up...

    Hens got into pelleted clover seed

    I went to sow some greens and pelleted clover for my girls in a fenced off area and noticed that they'd broken in when I locked them up. I thought I had it Houdini-proof. They're all in bed and seem fine. It wasn't much, just a thinly sown strip. How worried should I be?

    Chickens hardly eating/drinking in winter?

    I've got kind of a confusing situation going on. My five girls seem like they're hardly eating/drinking. I put out layer pellets in their bowl every morning (they only eat from bowls) and they always have fresh water. It doesn't get that cold here, I'm in the California Bay area, so the water...

    Summer Molt?

    I have a weird thing going on with one of my chickens, Queenie. She seems to be molting; her butt feathers are looking kind of loose and she has lost some. She just turned 16 months old, and is a Salmon Favorelle mix (my guess is part bantam because she's so little). She's vaccinated, and was...

    Escaping Chicken

    I have a little Cuckoo Maran, named Flo, who is relentless about escaping. At first she just toured infront of the fence, I have one of those flexible electric ones (no power to it of course, we're in suburbia, I just needed something I could shift around easily for the time being), and a little...

    Panting hen with yellow diarrhea

    I have a 5 month old Cuckoo Maran, named Flo, who's been panting for the last four/five days and has diarrhea. She just laid her first egg four days ago, it had a good shell, though a little misshapen and about half the size of normal eggs. She laid another egg yesterday which was very well...

    Not eating after worming

    I just wormed my two hens yesterday, with Wazine 17, following the directions on the bottle. I know it says not to use it for laying hens but I intent to compost the eggs until it's safe. Usually I use diatomaceous earth but I noticed one of mine is seeming a little thin, acting normal, but just...

    Cuckoo Maran Pullet or Cockerel

    I bought a cuckoo maran about a month ago, I'm not sure of the age but I'm guessing around three months. Today she (I think it was her, at least) made a really odd noise. Something like a demoic screech. Nothing like a usual call for snacks or egg song. She's been making more adult chicken like...
