    Pullet Treats

    Hi, I have 4 month old pullets- what are the best treats to five them at this age before they are laying? I know they say not to give them too much protein. Can I give meal worms or no? and what about alfalfa? Any ideas are welcomed- thank you so much!

    Something wrong with vent?

    HI, we've had our cream legbar who is supposedly around 1.5 years- she is not laying any eggs. The woman we got her from almost 5 months ago said she was laying. We thought maybe it was the stress of moving but everyone else is laing and she never seemed stressed - shes very comfortable here...

    can you refrigerate fermented feed

    Hi! I just started fermenting. Once it's fermented if they don't eat it all in a day can I refrigerate the remainder and still feed the following day? Also do you set it all out at once in the morning or do I put it out twice a day? Can it be in a metal trough or should it be plastic? Thank you!

    New layer laying inside egg and shell separate

    Hi! My Easter egger has layed 4 or 5 beautiful hard green eggs since she started eating laying in the last week and a half. But I’ve also seen a couple soft eggs with the shell separate under her roost. Is this normal for a new layer? It didn’t seem to be calcium if the other ones have been...

    Hi, thanks to this website I just identified a young hen that was given to us as an American Gray gamefowl. Is it a bad idea to integrate her with my buff orpington, easter egger, and cream legbar? I just read that they can be super aggressive with other birds and wondering if this was a bad...

    Do chickens influence each other to lay eggs?

    Hi! My over one year cream legbar is not laying that was laying previously with her owner. We got her a month ago and she still hasn't resumed. Will my laying hen influence her to lay or do they just lay when they are ready? Not sure why she still isn't laying!

    when will my legbar lay again after being moved?

    Hi!! We just got two new hens (so a total of 3) and one of the new ones which is a cream legbar around a year old who previously laid, isn't laying and it's been a month since we got her. Could it really take this long for her to lay just because she moved homes?
