Hi, one of my chickens recently started laying about a week or so ago and she has been laying soft shell eggs. She lays maybe one or two normal eggs and then lays soft shell eggs, a normal egg and then back to soft shell. She laid a soft shell egg today. Yesterday she laid a hard shell egg but...
Hi! I have an olive egger pullet (Rhaenys, black and white chicken) who hasn’t started laying yet, she was between 3-4 months old when I got her June 8th, so she is around 6-7 months old now, her face is pretty red. Also she was sold to me as an olive egger, but she has feathered feet and 5 toes...
Was making cookie dough and cracked the egg into the dough (should have cracked it into a bowl 🤦🏻♀️) saw two of these things. Not sure if they are worms or just part of the egg. One of my new hens just recently started laying and the egg came from her, cracked the other egg I have of hers open...
Hi! Got this girl about 3 months ago. She’s about 6-7 months old now. The last I got her from told me she is an olive egger and a hen. I’m pretty confident she’s a hen, but unsure of her breed. I just realized today that she has 5 toes on each foot which I thought was predominantly a silkie...
Hi! I have 5 year old hens and 1 of them hasn’t laid since the end of may. We had an easter egger hen go broody around that time and the broody hen has since started laying again but I know it’s one of my golden comets that isn’t laying because of the egg color. I noticed one of the golden...
She started acting strange yesterday, temperatures here have been very hot, upwards of 100 degrees. She was not breathing like the video yesterday, that started today. Yesterday she was just sitting and would close her eyes occasionally and when someone would come out to check, she would get up...
Hi! New pullet I got (red chicken with black feathers scattered on her), was just curious if she was a special breed or just a Barnyard Mix. Bonus if someone can tell me what color eggs she may possibly lay. Kind of looks like my golden comets I have but has the black feathers scattered on her...
Hey! Woke up this morning to one of my hens looking like this, she is sitting in the coop sleeping kind of while the others are doing their thing. Could she be eggbound? She is walking okay when I saw her walk so it doesn’t seem to be a leg injury.
Hi! Is there such a thing as an easter egger laying a brown egg? I know it’s a chance but I looked it up when I saw the egg as it’s the first egg she has laid and it’s not common as far as what I found on the internet and I believe she has a pea comb too which according to research I found means...
Hi! It was raining all day today and I went outside to close up the coop and noticed these little bugs crawling on it. I really hope they aren’t mites. Not sure if they are just bugs out because of the rain. It’s around 65/70 degrees here too. Not the best pictures. There isn’t a whole lot of...
Hi! I was wondering what could be wrong with this hens comb? I got both of the hens at the same place and time and one has a pink comb and the other doesn’t. Pictures of both are attached. Thanks
Are any of these roos? I believe they are all hens haha but doesn’t hurt to check! Also do any look like they are about to lay? They are around 18 weeks give or take.
Wasn’t sure if this is the right thread to post on but I am picking up my chickens today, I am going to have 6, they are all the same age 16-17 weeks, but I am getting them from different people. 4 golden comets from one person and 2 easter eggers from another. Is it okay to put them all in a xl...
2 11 week old 4 17 week old pullets. What brand of grit is good? Adult or chick? I’m figuring adult but wanted to check. Are the Dumor and Manna Pro brands safe?
Hi! I am getting my first 6 chickens next week. I am getting 2 olive egger pullets that will be 11 weeks when I get them and getting 4 golden comet pullets that will be 17 weeks next week. What feed should I put them on? (Grower, Layer etc) wanting to incorporate them into the coop together when...
