I have a cochin that is sitting on one egg. I have a few questions....
1. Does she know if the egg is fertile?
2. Will she continue to lay eggs?
Thank you.
I went out about 2 hours ago to check on the crew, and noticed that my husband had not filled their water up like I asked him to, as they were out yesterday. I looked for an egg in the nesting box & it was empty. I chalked it up to being out of water for a day & 1/2. (I will handle him later )...
I went out on Sat am and found our 4-5 month old Ameraucana hen puffed up the size of a basketball , and laying on her side. She would fall over when she walked and her comb was almost non-existent. I separated her and gave her plenty of food & water that she ate & drank. Fast forward till...
My BR laid her first egg last weekend, out of our 5 pullets she's the first and I could not be any happier! but I feel so guilty when I take her eggs away from her. She looks so sad Am I the only one?

I have a 9 1/2 month old silkie pullet, a 7 month old bantam cochin pullet, and a 6 month old barred rock pullet....I am told by my husband that the reason is because I am trying to use all the medicated chick feed that we bought before I go buy the layer pellets. I totally understand that (now...
STUPID QUESTION ALERT!!! Do my hens need to be eating laying pellets in order to start laying eggs? I have 3 hens: (1) 7 month old silkie, (1) 4 month old cochin & (1) 4 month old Barred Rock....Nobody is laying, but I didnt realize till my husband pointed it out that I am still feeding...
One of my 2 1/2 month old BO pullets was attacked today, a hawk managed to get onto the dog kennel that they were playing in. We heard the babies, and my roo in the adjoining run going crazy & when I got out there, I saw a huge hawk trying to fly out of the kennel. 1 chick was in the corner...

My last day here at my job will Sept 30th. The company I work for is shutting the doors. My husband has also worked here for the past 6 years.
The saddest part is why we are closing...The owner went to the bank to try & re-negotiate his loan for our building. It was $15,000 a month & all he...
