    Stationary Hen

    K-12 Chickens, I'm assuming Blondie is egg-bound because she only visits the nesting box when she is ready to lay an egg. I will put her in a warm bath. Thank you for your help.

    Stationary Hen

    It's been over 12 hours and my beloved hen, Blondie, hasn't moved out of the nesting box. Her feathers make her appear all puffed up. And I noticed the red comb on top of her head is shriveled up, not plump like her sisters. We've had the girls for over a year and I've never noticed this...

    New member introduction

    Hi Shana09! I hope you find the stash of eggs your chickens have been laying. You say you've been rearranging the flock quite a bit and I know chickens are sensitive to that. Maybe they are protesting until you show them that they are there to stay! Lisa

    Wierd!! Anybody else have this!?!?

    Quote: Yes! I'll take a picture right now. The rings are kind of small. Oh! When you first talked about "rings" before you edited and came back with a picture I thought you were talking about rings on an egg. Maybe another member will be able to tell you about the markings on your...

    Is the ability to "roost" important for a hen?

    Quote: Hello FriendlyFlyer! Your posting has already made me feel 100% good again! Thank you. I love the idea about making her a little gangplank to walk up to the roosting area to join her sisters at night. Brilliant!

    Quote: Hi Egghead_Jr! I just looked on the bag of Purina pellets and it does say that calcium has been added. So no more added oyster shells for these girls either! I am curious about your comment of "feed the pellets in a food dish". I'm thinking they'll have an even better opportunity to...

    they'reHISchickens : What you need to do is wean your girls from their candy and make them eat good healthy food. This will be about as easy as doing the same thing to children. I would just remove all scratch from their vicinity and force them to eat the pellets when they are hungry. Don't...

    Is the ability to "roost" important for a hen?

    This is our current problem. One of our hens flew over the 6 foot fence and made it into the mouth of our black labrador retriever. Fortunately I heard her squawking and had Jake release her uninjured. Whew! Cinderella didn't learn her lesson and repeated the same flight pattern the following...

    Our family is new at raising chickens. That being said, when we got our 5 hens several months ago at 7 weeks old we were given some feed specially made for chicks. After a month or so we brought home a bag of grains that included corn kernels. They seem to love it. We filled their food...
