Hi everyone...
My hen is about 6 months old she has only been laying for just over a week......her first egg was lunchtime and she has been laying a little later every day........i realised this afternoon that she hadn't laid today and when i had a look at her I noticed she had a large hard lump...

hi everyone,
i have 3 hens,
i think they were about 2 months old when i bought them, so that makes them about 5 and a half months old now
from what I have read, I believe they have started to molt.....
but I am concerned because they are so young.....
is this normal????
