    No more eggs?

    Will they stop every winter from now on?

    No more eggs?

    Thanks, I'll try that. Seems that all four are in different stages of the molt. It also appears that one is broody, so I guess we'll just have to wait it out.

    No more eggs?

    They are 1 1/2 years old. We live in NJ, and our winter has been strangely mild. I only found one egg outside the nesting box, which was right next to the coop. They have been acting normally besides the lack of laying, so I doubt it is a parasite. I just picked them all up and they seem to have...

    No more eggs?

    Our hens are less than two years old, yet all four have stopped laying. The easter egger stopped about 6 months ago, the New Hampshire Red stopped 3 months ago (when she molted), and the barred rock stopped one month ago. Finally, the last hen, a pearl leghorn, stopped last week. It appears she...

    Easter egger sexing- Help!

    Hi everybody, my chicks are growing fast- almost 5 weeks old now! however, I'm a bit suspicious as to the gender of our Easter Egger, named "Duck," who is supposed to be a pullet. I looked at her comb and feather sexed her at two days, but I'm not too sure. She's extremely feisty and at times...

    Our chicks finally arrived yesterday from mypetchicken! One barred rock, one EE, one New Hampshire Red, and one Pearl Leghorn :D I finally understand why people can start with two chickens and add twenty more in a year! They're adorable :D

    hey guys, i just ordered my flock from mypetchicken, but i'm starting to have doubts about the order. i only want four pullets, and i'm hoping that's what i get. i just discovered this farm in Jackson, not too far from Six Flags. Anyone heard of them or had experience? i was thinking it would be...

    How to trim guinea pig nails?

    i have a similar problem...i usually gently stroke my pigs' bellies to calm them down a bit, and then take slow movements. this seems to be effective :D

    What hatchery allows small orders?

    mypetchicken.com again has great reviews depending on location. I just ordered my first flock of four from them. Like you, i wanted 4 at the most. mypetchicken has a great selection and ships as few as three chicks. the other hatchery i investigated was chickensforbackyards.com, which doesn't...

    Legal or not legal? (Central NJ)

    As I'm preparing for my first flock, I've noticed a PDF file Ordinance titled with my Township's name in the web search link, but no mention of my township within the ordinances. I even searched the entire document for any mention of my zip code, township name, or county. The township mentioned...

Our township doesn't have ordinances and the Zoning officer OKd our property, but we pretty much run a zoo with lots of pets so we aren't going big...yet ;) We ordered one of each of the following: Barred Rock White Leghorn New...
