    Does anyone know the chicken laws in Cerritos, CA?

    How does one find information on whether or not chickens are legal in any given city? I went to the city website and couldn't find any information. Thanks!

    Is this hen molting?

    Thanks! I'll dust them all with DE just to make sure, but I can't see any mites. Would that account for her poor laying?

    Is this hen molting?

    What's up with her tail feathers? They look frayed. She wasn't laying at all, and felt very rough to the touch, then she started to lay soft eggs last week. I'm hoping she's molting. Thanks!

    What is typical for winter egg laying?

    I'm in Southern California and it has been sunny and warm. At night, I've added 4 hours of extra light in their coop. My banty Cochin and banty Barnevelder have stopped laying for over 2 weeks now. They do not appear to be molting and seem healthy. Is it just because it's winter? Thanks!

    Roost Layer Help!

    I have an EE who sits on the nest everyday like she's going to lay, but instead, lays her eggs from the roost at night. I have a nightlight in the coop for them to find the nest, but she's consistently dropping her eggs from in her sleep. What should I do?

    Night Egg in a Sack of Fluid

    She's one year old this week. Most of her night eggs were soft until I started giving them oyster shells. Now they're hard and normal except for that strange fluid sack encasing them.

    Night Egg in a Sack of Fluid

    Hi, I have a Ameraucana who tends to lay from her roost at night. When she lays in her nest, they're normal, but her night eggs are broken or cracked from falling and always in a strange sack of clear fluid. Anyone else ever seen this?

    Chick with Bubble on Shoulder

    I have a 2 month old baby barnevelder that was stumbling the other day. When I picked her up, she had a bubble on her shoulder. As I lightly pressed on it, it went back into her body and expanded her crop a bit. She eats, but, 4 days later, she is slower than the rest of the barnies and she...

    Gotta get rid of roos

    I first try to rehome mine on all local Craigslist sites. My plan B is my local feed store who said they would take them. So far, Craigslist has worked for me.

    Problem: Yolks Break Easily or are Broken Inside Egg

    I guess I didn't figure it out. We had a run of good eggs and now she's laying either eggs with scrambled yolks or robin eggs with no yolks. Could it be the heat? My silkies are laying perfect eggs almost daily and I'm by the beach so we haven't even reached even 90 degrees yet.
