My 4 year old Americuana is not doing well. My husband had to help her out of the coop this morning. She hasn’t laid an egg in about 2 weeks. Yesterday I noticed green & yellowy poops. I was told this means she has a nutrient problem so I’ve tried to give her scrambled eggs, but she won’t eat...
So I’m trying to be as 100% sure as possible lol I love this chicken so much & im not allowed Roosters in my area. But I am wondering if this is a rooster or not. People have told me they think it is, however now are unsure. What do you guys think?? It is a black laced Wyandotte and would love...
So I know free layers lay weird eggs, and it’s been kinda hot here…. But today I got two weird eggs. One was a bullet egg that was wrinkled, and I’m pretty sure it was her first egg so I’m not too concerned. But than my buff Orpington laid a weird lumpy egg that looked like it hadn’t hardened...
Hey guys so I have a buff Orpington that I want to say has only laid about 2 eggs. And she hasn’t laid an egg since last Monday. The weather here has been in the high 90’s, so I have increased water stations throughout their area. Also on really hot days I spray down the area the free range in...

So I have a Buff Orpington and a Barred Rocks and I’m not sure who laid their egg but I want to say they laid their first egg on Thursday or Friday last week. I haven’t seen another egg since. Should I be concerned? I did switch their food to Purina Layena Pellets and they had crumbs before but...
So on Tuesday I went out to do my morning care for my chickens and low and behold I found two green eggs from what I believe is my first Americauna. (I have two I got another one about two weeks later). So now of course I’m obsessed with my chickens! This is my first flock, I have two...
Newbie here, we got our coop and we are expanding it currently right now it is 4x9 and in the end it’ll 4x13 ft. My question is, how often with 5 chickens should I clean my coop? And lastly, right now it’s in the ground/grass should I lay anything down on the ground for poop and stuff? I...
