Give it till Spring. Chickens lay like crazy in March. I know feed is pricey. But, you could spare her and let her freerange. When she produces you'll be pleasantly surprised. If I was closer to you. (I'm in mid Texas) I'd take her in. And For the record 8/10 new birds are laying now...

On another note, 7 years ago, I did have a black copper maran that never laid. We chose to be patient, we let her live 2.5 years with her sisters. When we butchered her we found that her ovary was atrophied.

I have 10 new birds EE, OE and Welsummers that are 6 months old and only 5 (2 EE 2 OE and 1 Welsummer) are laying. They are in a greenhouse with transparent walls and get the natural daily cycle of Sunlight. I have heard that due to light requirements and it also being Winter, birds that may...

Is there any info of people who've crossed Salmon Faverolle (pink) with Amerucana (blue) or Easter Egger? I am aware that Easter egger does have Salmon Faverolle genetics in it's heritage.

Bird and Bee Farm's 5 month old (point of lay) were all $36 each. A fabulous purchase and the demand is high now as economically we all know something is up. Lots of first time people buying chickens. Blus star Ranch is goos too, but prices are high however, they will also barter new items-...

https://birdandbeefarm.com/ in Rockdale, TX. Just bought 10 chickens 2 weeks ago, 3 Olive Eggers, 4 Amerucana and 3 Welsummer. All were 5 months old and VERY health and clean. 4 are already laying. Very sweet birds. Have to make an appointment and I recommend getting their earliest...

I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression. We are not making them to sell. His creations are proprietary, won't be sharing, Sorry. I'll post photos when its installed.

I trust my husband's engineering skills 1000%. He has made fine coop doors before. He makes airplane parts for the military with tolerances of less than 1/10,000 of an inch. Plus if there needs to be adjustments he's the one providing warranty. Everything he makes is top notch. Plus he has...

I was wondering if anyone has been able to come up with a purple egg? I'm thinking crossing a Salmon Faverolle with a Cream Legbar or an Ameraucana. Anyone do it another way?

If you crack open a dark brown egg, it is light brown on the inside and dark brown on the outside. The dark brown is a coating that the bird adds to the outside of the egg. Sometimes I can scratch bits off. In the case of the green egg it is blue on the inside, but green on the outside and am...

This happens to my Australorp Roo Spike. He neck is so pecked you'd think he was a naked neck. Sunburned so bad it is the same color as his comb. I've sprayed dermaplast to ease the sunburn but he doesn't care. His ladies pull out his neck feathers. Talk about henpecked....

My Engineer husband is making one from scratch. Our coop is on a friend's property and hub's plan is to attach it to their wifi and we can send it an email ot "open" and "Close" and monitor it with a camera. The Hub is into overkill. He bought a door opener that can open a 300 pound door lol...

ok its been more than 6 months.... Any photos of the new layer's eggs?

Buying more hens tomorrow. Doing Welsummers - thats new to me. Thinking of getting a EE Roo too. Going to try breeding some olive eggers.

I put her down. I made a cone from some vinyl I had. Strung a rope thru it, hung it, got the lopping shears and put her in it, did the deed. Went quickly. Broke my heart 💔. But she’s not suffering anymore. She would’ve required lots of antibiotics and it’s uncertain whether she’d survive. Better...

The vent is fine and way further up.

Here is Abigail after having taken a little baby aspirin, turmeric, calcium magnesium and zinc to kind of reduce the inflammation. She’s in the backyard - I need to put her down.

I don’t know how this happened. But from butchering chickens in the past, there is a fair amount of air inside of a hen. I’m wondering if maybe a bacterial infection may produce gases that inflate the chicken? I’m at picking at her self or someone picking at her or getting in a tussle caused...

The same thing just happened to my Abigail. I went in the coop to shut down for the night and she was sitting in the corner quiet and in bed early I collected eggs and then saw something dangling out of her. It was her guts. I thought it may have been a prolapse vent because I was able to fix...
