    Tiny Egg

    I have 5 chickens that are several years old. Australorps, barred rocks, and. Brahma. All great layers of decent sized brownish eggs. I’ve added 3Easter eggers, and 3 barred rocks to the flock. They are just about 20 weeks. One of my Easter eggers has started laying this week. She’s laid 2...

    Egg Eating

    Can anyone give me some advice about dealing with an egg eater? Some background info: I was dealing with a broody hen (Buff Orp).

    Is this a molt?

    Over the last 2 weeks it seems my Easter egger is off her lay. Today I noticed these spots on her flanks where it seems she has feathers that are broken off. And she appears ‘smallish’. She does not appear to be acting sickly, I haven’t seen any of the other ladies picking on her, and I do not...
