    Very odd shellless eggs

    I have a 21-week-old splash pullet. We just found out she is the one that has been laying shellless eggs out in the yard. We couldn't figure out which one it was because by the time we noticed something was going on it was pretty much eaten by her henmates. The other girls now expect it and as...

    Stumped on breeds

    The breeds weren't labeled correctly when we got our last round of pullets. I have been able to figure out the others, but these two have me stumped! Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    Injury to beak- leave it alone or treatment options?

    We have two flocks soon (hopefully) to be joined as one; our two-year-old girls and our 10-week-old girls. The younger pullets are in an enclosed coop and small run within the big girls run. They are separated by hardware cloth. Getting ready to integrate them so we have them as close together...

    Chick mix up at the store?

    Got the call that the babies were in so went to my local Theisens to pick them out. The workers seemed rushed and not used to dealing with chicks... and with everyone in masks due to the pandemic we didn't have a lot of time to be selective or ask questions. It was a bit of a cluster. I'm truly...

    Barred Rock - Too much personality for small flock needs a new home

    I have a 2 year old barred rock that is too strong willed and bossy for our small flock of 3. Good layer and lap sitter. She needs to be re-homed as I would prefer not to cull. La Crosse, WI area.

    Severe Molt - Bullied Hen in Winter

    I have a 1 1/2 year old RIR that is in severe molt... so many pin feathers starting that she can't fly up to the 3 foot outdoor roost. We were down to -7 last night and more cold weather is on the way. She is the lowest girl in pecking order (1 of 3 hens) and the other two don't roost with her...

    Hen acting egg bound but lays? Odd laying behavior.

    I have a one year old BR that has been having odd laying behavior. She was lethargic, droopy tail, empty crop, not drinking, etc and hadn't laid that day. Thought maybe egg bound, but on check, no egg. Separated her and gave her electrolytes/water with a dropper. Within a few hours she started...

    Picked on hen won't roost, and winter is almost here

    My 8 month old RIR is the lowest in the pecking order. I had four girls, all raised together, but just lost one to an unknown eggbound problem :( My heart is still healing from that and now my RIR has decided to go from sleeping on the roost area floor to sleeping in a nesting box. I cannot get...
