It's June here in CAlifornia and perfect weather for laying. I was getting eggs daily and then all of a sudden everyone stopped laying. It's been about 5 days. Everyone looks healthy, no molting. They are in a protected cooped and run so predators can't access them. They get organic crumble...

My chicken has something wrong. She is my biggest chicken and has always stayed on the edge of the flock. Over the past week or so she has stopped laying (she lays the smallest egg of the flock). She appears pigeon toed and is walking/waddling slowly. She's sitting alone alot up against things...

I have a mixed flock of 6 hens under 4 years old. They all stopped laying in November. All my neighbor's flocks are laying again but mine aren't. They are done moulting. I live in No California. Any ideas why everyone else in the neighborhood is getting eggs and I'm not????

my banty rooster tries to isolate one of my younger hens away from flock (she was added with four other pullets last year). He chases her but doesn't try to mate with her. He hasn't hurt her but doesn't want her as part of the flock (eg. he won't let her into run to eat with others). Is this...

Thanks for your advice. Don't know how I'd weigh her but I can do the rest.

Everyone is treating her fine.

I have an older hen, 5-6 yrs who still lays eggs. she looks healthy but no longer jumps up to roosts. She has slept in nesting boxes which are lower to the ground. Now she's sleeping on coop floor. I built a little ladder to a nesting box so she now climbs it to sleep in box. She doesn't look...

Thanks for info. I'll keep looking for grower

I'm integrating my 10 week old chicks with my layer hens and could not find all flock/grower crumble anywhere. The feed store said I could feed meat bird crumble (22%protein) to all with oyster shells on the side for layer hens. This seems like alot of protein for chicks. Are they correct (now...

Hi and welcome. Yes, I am from Sebastopol. I have a small flock-4 hens, 4 chicks and a serena rooster. I see that you have marans. Where did you get them? I'd like to add one or two to my flock.

My 5 yr old wyndotte has been laying elongated eggs which she has not done historically. Is this just because she's older or should I be worried that somethings wrong?

I found a bag of monterey fine beach sand (for mixing with cement iI think). Can i put this in the run for the hens to use for dust baths? what about in chick run? It is very fine grain.

Adults: two wyndottes, one sexlinked, one ameracauna and one banty rooster Chicks: two ameracaunas and two welsummers. Have alot of room in run and coop

My 8 week old chicks have been living out in the coop with their own run for a week. They are visible to adults but separated from adults. When can I begin integrating them into the adult flock?

Thank you for the feedback. Do I need a prescription from Vet to get sulfa drug?

I am on the final day of treating my four 7 week old chicks for coccidiosis(one was pooping blood). All appear healthy and happy but I saw blood tinged poop today. I am pretty sure I know which chick is still pooping the blood. While active and eating/drinking with the rest, she is always the...

Thanks to all for advice. Got Corid (thank god someone here knew the liquid dosage as the conversions was daunting). Have started everyone on this and keeping my fingers crossed. By the way, how do a get a cute avatar like everyone else?

Sorry, assumed Corid was antibiotic. The feed store told me I could only get it from a vet
