    I have lost 2 more since. I thought it might be Mareks as the second one lost the use of its legs suddenly. But then the third one just dropped dead last night. No sign of illness yesterday. I have three chooks left. I will keep a close eye on them now. Also should i throw their eggs out or...

    Older chook can't stand or walk

    Thank you, @Wyorp Rock , I apologise for my profile. I had to uninstall and reinstall B.C. and didnt even think about my profile. I will fix this ASAP! Sadly my hen passed away this afternoon.

    Older chook can't stand or walk

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    I have some leftover uncooked shortcrust pastry. I've never given them this before, has anyone else?

    Can anyone tell me the breeds of my mixed flock?

    Thanks Chicken Girl. I hope they will still give me eggs when they get older. I think they are only about 4-5 months old. Judy

    Can anyone tell me the breeds of my mixed flock?

    I bought them at our local auction. I thought 'mixed breed' meant a variety. I gather this is not the case?

    Egg Problems

    Should I kill her (humanely) or do chickens like company.? I was going to wait till there were none left and then get a few more. Or should I get some more now? (Sorry to sound so crass!)

    Egg Problems

    I am having exactly the same problem with one of my Isa Browns. I reckon they are about 3-4 years old now. The one with the problem just lays soft shells and the centre runs out into the straw.

    Best time to start flock integration?

    I have put my new girls in with the older ones and they are getting on just fine. My only problem is that the young ones are sleeping in the spot I designated for laying. But it doesn't seem to be a problem. I still get eggs, only sometimes I have to look in other places!

    Best time to start flock integration?

    Hi Furry, I have a similar problem. I have three 2 YO Isa Browns and have just been given 4 one month old pullets (of a different unknown breed). They are still quite small and I have been keeping them separate too. I thought I might wait another couple weeks. At the moment they are in a...
