    List of egglaying factors

    I heard that Ceyanne pepper in their feed helps?? I put Poultry spice in my chickens feed, especially when they have been moulting, which they are doing now!

    Floppy neck - advice needed Please!

    Hello, I have an 11 month old silkie girl who was sitting on an egg but can't seem to control her neck properly! My first thought was Mareks's with her being a silkie but on examination there appears to be nothing else wrong with her. I put her on the ground to see if she could stand and she...

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    Hello thank you for replying, he was hartched the middle of July last year, glad to hear you think he is ok. I might get some Orp ladies for him then they are such lovely breeds. I couldn't turn my back on that Marans Roo either, had to take a stick whenever i was in the garden!!

    I am not that great on sexing to be honest but I have quite a few silkies and I would say boy, it seems to have quite a big comb and wattles! Sorry! I hope I am wrong!

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    Hi everyone, I hatched this chick last year (I ordered 6 Orpington eggs but only one hatched!) He is rather large and very friendly. So, my questions are 1. Are Orpington Roo's notorious for being friendly? I ask because i have just to get rid of my Marans roo as he kept attacking me and I was...

    Coccidiosis in Roo 18 months old?

    Hi, the vet phoned me a few hours ago to say that the poo that i took in for testing from my poorly Roo has some Cocci in it. He has been ill for a few months now and no one seems to know what is wrong with him but we thought it was maybe neurological as he was stabbing at his food and drink as...

    Marjory or Jeffrey!!

    Quote: Thanks for the pic. so do you think that your boy looks like my Orp? I reckon my orp's hackle feathers are rounded rather than pointed, or is it wishful thinking? I don't see the shinyness or the pointyness, I still think pullet. Oh goody!! Thank you!

    Marjory or Jeffrey!!

    Quote: Noooooo I actually thought it was a Roo but was hoping i was proved wrong, so either way it doesn't really matter, although a pullet is preferred!

    No eggs yet!

    My oldest chick of this year is 27 weeks. And she still hasn't laid an egg!!! The rest are all a few weeks behind her but none from them either! The first chick is a sussex X and the rest are all araucana, orp wyandotte and silkie X and not an egg from these ones either!!! Do you think they...

    Marjory or Jeffrey!!

    I bought 6, what was meant to be Orpington eggs from ebay earlier in the year. Only 2 hatched and then one disappeared one day never to be seen again! This is the only chick left and we called it the dinosaur chick as it took so long to get it's feathers. Now it seems to look quite like an Orp...

    Unwell Silkie Roo, any suggestions??

    Quote: Thanks for answering, have looked up botulism and I don't think that is what it is as he has been ill for a few weeks (not as bad as this) and I think botulism would have killed him before now. Also, it says chickens can't eat or drink as the muscles won't work but he is eating and...
