    Hen lays soft egg and eats them

    I have a SLW hen just over a year old. We have witnessed her laying eggs and eating them. The eggs have no shell just the membrane. Sometimes she lays in a box and sometimes just plops it out on the floor. All the hens come running to help eat it. This is the second time I've actually witnessed...

    7 lb cat vs. bantam cochin (funny) **update** 4-21-12

    Just had to share this video of my little broody. She keeps stealing eggs and protecting them like nobody's business. The cat made the mistake of coming into the coop. Poor kitty. I think little CocoaPuff needs some fertile eggs.

    Cuckoo Maran/Barred Rock ?

    What is the difference between these two? I'm asking because we have a BR hen that is almost 2 years old. I know she is a BR. I got a chick from McMurray last May that I've been calling a BR but I'm thinking she is not one now. She is MUCH darker and "someone" is laying VERY dark brown eggs...

    Molting information please?

    Why are my five month old pullets losing feathers? I've been reading and it says they shouldn't molt until 18 months old? I was told by someone in my neighborhood that giving them fresh corn will cause a molt. Is there any truth to that? I have a couple sick hens and they are full of new...

    Marek's and what to do?

    I posted awhile back and can't find the post. It's possible that my Dixie has Marek's. She was lethargic, not eating, and her right leg appeared to be injured. I separated her from the flock, gave her ACV in her water, hand fed her fruit and bread (she wouldn't eat her feed) and let her rest...
