I'll start off by saying that I am new to all of this, I am learning as I go. This is the first sick chicken we have had in two years. Penny's abdomen is swollen and she is walking like a penguin. She doesn't like to move much, and will eat and drink if I hold it up for her to get to. She...

I have been wondering the same thing! I have four chickens and two of them are laying eggs with watery whites. They are young though, only about 6 months old. They are all healthy, and even though it is cold here in Colorado already, we have a heat lamp in the coop so it doesn't get that cold...

I know I'm really late to reply to this, but if the chickens leave his property then I would think that makes her free game so to speak. It isn't like you are going onto their property to take their chicken. You are going onto your parents property that they rent out to rescue an abandoned...

We couldn't find any eggs anywhere yesterday and so far nothing today either. Not sure if that is normal or not?

So far they are a light tan/brown, the last one seemed darker though. Today however we didn't get any eggs, but I know I heard one of the hens making that bawking noise she does when she is laying an egg. For the life of us we could not find an egg anywhere in the backyard or in the coop. So...

I think your right and there are two laying eggs. We have gotten two a day now for a couple of days!! I'm so glad these girls are starting to lay eggs, seemed like it was taking forever!

Also I'm not sure that she didn't just lay it about an hour or two earlier. My son said that he heard one of them being loud and making a noise she doesn't normally.

I hadn't even thought of that, now I'll have to watch the girls closer to see who is doing what. LOL

wow!! How long did it take her to lay 9 eggs? What kind is she?

Thank you! I went out there and cleaned out the box and put the egg back, when she saw me clean it out she hopped out of the coop and hasn't gone back in so I took it back out. Does anyone know how many eggs/how often/how many/ect.. I can expect from a New Hampshire Red? I figure we will...

I have four New Hampshire Reds and they are just now old enough to be laying. We got our very first egg today!! I went out because three of the four were pecking at the backdoor. I went out to look around and they followed me pecking at my pant leg like something was wrong. I could not for...

Oh good, I'm glad to 'hear' that!! The girls have a huge sandbox to use and spend a lot of time in there lately. Thank you for the help, I wasn't sure if I should worry about it or not. LOL

Hello everyone! I am completely new to all things poultry. I have wanted chickens all my life and finally got 6 New Hampshire reds. They are a couple of months old now and sort of in that gangly stage, but seem to be doing well. I noticed one of them is acting odd the past week though. She...
