So I wormed my flock with Wazine recently (4 days ago). Since that time none of my 6 hens have layed a single egg. Is this normal?

I'm Patrick. I live just about as close to downtown Raleigh as you can without being in Downtown. I have a small flock (6 birds) and raise mainly for eggs. We have a Bantam Rhode Island Red (Scarlet), Bantam Barred Rock (Priscilla), Old English Game Hen (Dana), Red Sex Link (Porkchop)...

So this is Dynasty. I have no clue what breed, if any, she is. I have no clue as to her origin, other than judging by her age, she was either bought as a specific breed, or came from a mail order.

Don't know if this is the right category but here goes. I recently expanded my flock by three birds. I got them from a woman and this is her story. She's a retired civil engineer from New Jersey who moved to Sanford, NC. She began raising fowl as a hobby and it grew to where she now has...

These may be mutt chickens. I think one is a Buff Orpington. At least the lady who gave them to us said it was. This is the possible orpington. These are the two I have no clue about.

So I believe my RIR bantam has gone broody. She's been my most consistent layer since we got her (4 months ago) but 6 days ago she went to the nest and hasn't left since. I assume she's eating and drinking since she's still alive. I guess she's brooding. But that's not my question. She's...

So I've been looking for some egg laying bantams (currently have two, RIR and Barred Rock. They lay on alternating days so I get an egg every day.) for almost 3 months. All I've been able to find are silkies, silkies, and more silkies. And when I ask people who raise chickens in general, I...

One of my Old English (at least that's what the woman who sold them to us said they were) was acting sickly yesterday. She was off on her own from the rest of the girls and had her head pulled down to her chest. She didn't even perk up when I went to give them their rainy day oatmeal. I went out...

The info I've been getting from the internet -angry fist- is all over the place on these birds. I got two at a livestock swap today and was looking for some first hand info on them. So far, I've confirmed that they're loud. They yell at me when I come near the coop. What I'm worried about is the...

I say mini breeds because I don't know what the right term for a bantam sized regular breed (RIR, Leghorn) is. But was wondering if anyone know where there was a list of not only true bantam breeds, but which full sized breeds have a bantam counterpart.

I'm having the most absurd time finding some bantams that lay in NC. There's one guy I know for sure, (he sold me the two I have now) and he has tons of breeds, but he's hard to get in touch with. Hopefully going up there this weekend, but would love if someone else in my area knew of somewhere...

So we always had chickens growing up, mostly bantams, that we got our eggs from. I'm 22 and finally own my own home and decided to build a little coop in my backyard. Bought 2 bantams from the state fair (RIR and Barred Rock). The RIR is already laying and the Rock should be here pretty soon...
