Thank you all very much! They have started back up again! I think it was a cold snap we had a few weeks ago. Thank you!

We haven't had them locked inside the coop without access to the run. They have stayed inside a lot voluntarily though, because of the wind. That might have had something to do with it. Thank you.

That might be it. We have had some strange weather here lately. Maybe we'll get some more eggs soon. Thank you.

My 2yr old hens have abruptly stopped laying after quite a few of them had already started laying for the year. We went from getting six eggs a day out of seven hens to absolutely nothing for two weeks. We do free range them, but we've left them locked up in the coop for four days during a cold...

My grandfather used to have lots of chickens. He said his mom always put mentholatum on their feathers when the other chickens were picking at them. I am trying it today for the first time. He says it always stopped quick after that.

Thank you! That helps a lot.

Ok! Thank you. I was going to put them under my broody hen and let her raise them. Could she eat the gamebird starter too?

I am considering getting Guinea keets soon and was wondering if I could feed them the regular chick feed. If so, do I need to feed them the medicated feed? Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I personally don't have any advice, but one of my Buff Orpington hens is going through what sounds like almost the exact same thing. Our girl, Bertha, is our head hen too and shares the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. The only difference is that her poop was yellow/orange instead of green. I hope...

I have a 1 year old Buff Orp hen who has recently stopped eating much at all and hardly drinks. She barely moves, and when she does she is slow and lethargic. Glancing at her she looks perfectly normal, except that she just stands there. Doesn't scratch, doesn't peck. She also will go and get...

This is a great article!:goodpost: I have also heard that Appenzeller Spizhauben roos are usually docile and tend to take good care of their hens. Have y'all heard anything about them? Thanks for your time!!!

If you click on the picture it is a lot more clear. For some reason it doesn't show up as clear as it really is

Bertha isn't the oldest. They're all the same age. I don't think that Lulu is the lowest but she is definitely lower than Bertha! Lulu picks on our EEs all the time. I never thought about Bertha being the head hen. Thats pretty cool I didn't know they did that. Thanks for all your help!

Muhahahaha!!!! If My experiment goes according to plan these useless rabbits will soon be beautiful pullets!

What if one of them turns out to be a rooster?

Lulu didn't get in her face. That's the thing. All Lulu's attention was focused on me. Bertha was about 3 yards away just meandering towards the coop and when she saw Lulu attacking me she ran her off. She only chased her when she was trying to get me. Our Buff Orpingtons are very mellow, our...

I was putting the girls in the run for the night and one of the Rhode Island Reds, Lulu, challenged me. This is nothing unusual, Lulu challenges me every time I heard them into the coop. Well Lulu was trying to peck my foot off, every time she got close I pushed her back, and our Buff Orpington...

My cat wanted to eat our chicks from the moment we got them. I wanted to free range our birds so this was an issue. After a while, I don't remember how old the girls were, we let them out without locking up the cat. He didn't even glance at them. He was more concerned about checking out the...

I was thinking about getting a Spizhauben rooster and some hens to sell hatching eggs on eBay. Before I get committed, what is the market for Spizhauben and Spizhauben cross hatching eggs? How much are they generally going for? Thanks for your time!
