One of my hens was attacked in the middle of the night one night I forgot to close the coop. She lost some featheres from her tail but that looked like the extent of her injuries. I was out there in a flash as soon as I heard a commotion. Well now I find her eggs just willy nilly everywhere...
I'm looking for pullets that are about to or just started laying. 2 that are bad flyers but good layers for my backyard flock. Anybody have anything like that. Dark or colorful eggs are a plus but production and reliability on eggs more important.
Looking for pullets that have just started laying. I need 2 perferably a breed that lays well but is a horrible flyer. My backyard girls will be 3 years old so I should see a drop in production and need 2 more to fill the gap. I have 3 growing boys that love eggs. Not getting any now.
Sorry Rinda I totally misspelled your name in that post. Thanks for the info. I'll try the Xmas lights. I sure do hope I start getting blue eggs soon. That Cream Legbar was a bit expensive just to have as an ornamental bird. Even though she is beautiful I did get my birds for eggs and I believe...
I have a 6 month old black Ameraucana and she was ill when I got her with a upper resp infection which then spread to the rest of my chickens and caused them all to quit laying for 2 months and one is just now starting to lay again. I contacted the seller that I got her from and she said that...
Wow thanks for following through and reading my whole chicken history. When I read it again after I posted it I realized how it went on and on. I checked my coop again and found another egg from my Buff. She is such a sweet girl. But I might try getting some Christmas lights on a timer. How much...
So I have been dealing with some issues with my backyard flock. All of my hens quit laying for over a month. Not a single egg. I had 3 that were already laying that quit and 2 that were suppose to start laying that never started and still haven't. My australorp and Buff Orpington, I know for...
Got my polish hen that is 11 months old on Friday and still haven't gotten an egg from her. The seller told me that she was laying. How often do your hens lay?
I got 2. One from my Australorp and one from my Buff Orpington. The Cream Legbar should start laying at the end of the month and the Black Ameraucana should start next month. I expected my first white egg from the Polish I got yesterday but nope. I'm sure she is stressed so she will lay when she...
OK I have 2 beautiful EE roos that need a new home. Anybody need to freshen up their EE bloodline. If I know they are not going to be eaten then I will give them to you for free. They just started crowing.
3 months old and kind to my children and hens.
lonnyandrinda Thank you for the Cream Legbar chick that I picked up last week. She is doing great and wing feathers and tail feathers starting to come in. The BCM is great as well. Forgot to ask you where you got your Cream Legbars from in case we move somewhere where I can have a roo I don't...
