    Hens in the same nesting box

    I'm a bit new to raising chickens, so this may seem like a dumb question :) I have one hen that's laying and one that hasn't begun yet. For the past couple of days, neither has left the nesting box, and the non laying hen seems to be "protecting" the other hen. What's happening?

    Sneezing and clogged nostrils

    So I'll start off by saying, I have had 6 chicks and out of them 4 have died. I have a seperate thread on them, because I treated them with Corid and it stopped the deaths.

    Soft eggs

    I have two cochin hens. Not sure the age but when I bought them I was told they were both 4 months and laying. I realized that's pretty young to be laying.

    I've had 2 neck related deaths with my silkie chicks today. Ones neck was broken while she was asleep and the other suddenly got a sudden neck problem and died soon after. (People say it was wry neck? But I'm not sure the cause). Wondering if there is anything I can give to the surviving chicks...

    Necks breaking!!

    4 days or so ago I purchased my first chickens. Two 2 week old silkies, a blue and white. They were both fine, until the white ine started peeping loudly. I'd check it's bedding, food, water, and temperature but it was all fine. Today at 6am I woke up to find the white chicks neck had been...
