    My chickens haven't laid in about a week?

    I have three gold laced wyandotte layers who are all about 2 years old now. They usually produce 1-2 eggs a day, but have suddenly stopped all production. About a week ago was the last time we received any eggs. Those last eggs were all of normal size and makeup. None of them are eggbound...

    None of my chickens are laying in their boxes??

    For a while now, one of my hens has been laying sometimes in the box, sometimes on the ground of the run. The others were either laying in the boxes or elsewhere in the coop. Now, suddenly, all my hens (four) are laying in the run. I clean and refresh their coop regularly and I have enough boxes...

    protruding crop?

    Had to hold a chicken today who hates to be held...she squirmed quite a lot and now I have noticed that her crop is very noticeable and protruding a bit? Did I do something to hurt her inadvertently? Or am I worrying for nothing? She seems fine now and is scratching around the garden...

    Gravel or sand?

    I'm working on designing my first serious chicken run and am wondering if folks had personal experiences with gravel and sand and the pros/cons between them? I live in a place where it rains very often and very heavily and the run will be uncoverd...I know that sometimes changes people's...

    Is don’t think this normal??

    I’ve noticed (at least) one of my 24 week old pullets have started to have runny, white, and large poos. I know that that is not what poop is meant to look like but i don’t know what could be wrong...everyone seems to be eating and drinking well and nobody seems lethargic or underweight. It has...
