My hen has been laying 1 egg per day for 2 months now. She hasn't laid an egg in 4 days now and I am worried about her becoming eggbound. Any tips on how to get her to lay?
I have a lock on my coop/run so nobody can even get in there. I only have one other hen and she was only 4 months old at the time. I do go out there every single day and now I only get one a day from her. The other one still isn't laying......... Maybe I just have a freak bird because I...
I was wondering if this was normal or if anyone elses hens have laid this many eggs in one day. I go out there every single day and the first day she laid, there were 11 eggs and they were all normal and big. She now only lays one a day :)
Her comb was normally pink and only one of my hens is old enough to lay. I was worried about the fireworks but everyone was telling me they will be fine. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do with my other 2 on the 4th so they don't stress out too much? My husband wont let me bring them...
Her comb was pale and she barely has any wattles. I didn't really poke at her or anything because I was too upset, I tried to pull her out but she was pretty stuck and I couldn't handle it so I had my husband get her out. She didn't smell bad and her feathers were still beautiful. She wasn't...
I was wondering if anyone knows why my 3 month old hen would just die all of the sudden. I have 3 including her and she was always the skittish one but yesterday she was just laying around and even let me pick her up which was very odd. She seemed very healthy before yesterday (I have had her...
Last night I put a big dog kennel in the run for the new pullet so they can just see her and get used to her. I am getting rid of the roosters, the mean one asap so hopefully when he is gone everyone will get along. My other hen doesn't seem to even care that she is here.
Thank you :) I built my own coop and run because I rescued 3 baby chicks from a trash can. I wasn't expecting to end up with a rooster or even possibly 2. Because of this, I only have room for 3-4 birds and I could only get one more. That is good information to have though, Thank you very much.
I have 3 RIR's who are 3.5 months old and 2 ended up as roosters. I just got a 2.5 month old blue maran today and one of the roosters keeps chasing her and pulling out her neck feathers! She found a hiding place but how can I get him to stop? He wont be here long as I am not allowed to keep...
The first one looks like a male just because he is already getting a big comb and his wattles are pretty big for his age, they're also turning red already. I would say 2,3 and 7 are pullets and I have no idea with the others. Good luck
I also think the first two are male and the rest are female. I completely know how you feel too, I have to get rid of one of mine after finding out he is a rooster.....I cried :( They all have their own personalities.
