I forgot to mention that she has never had a molt or gone broody so she has never had a break from laying eggs. Is this normal?

Thank you so much for your response! Yes we have a bowl of oyster shell & grit in the run, also feed them back their own shells. I keep the coop very clean with fresh water daily. They also have a large fenced area of the property that they free range in during the day. She will be 2 on July...

I need someone ones help! our almost 2 year old buff Orpington started laying odd shaped eggs a month or 2 ago. ( cone shaped, longer ect) She has always been the best "layer". About 2 weeks ago she stopped laying completely. I noticed her belly feathers were gone and the skin red and irritated...

This is our 2 year old Easter egger Rosey. I noticed yesterday that she was limping, I found this on her foot. Tried to find out what this is online but all I could come up with is bumble foot. Do I need to cut this!? Ugh don't know what it is or how to treat it. More pics in comments...

We purchased 5 chicks sexed but unfortunately one turned out to be a Roo :,( we need to find him a home as only having 4 hens will not be enough to keep him. He isn't aggressive to my husband and I or our two young girls( 2&5) who spend a lot of time with them. We live in NW Indiana and can...

Thank you all so much! Very helpful. The roosts are 2x4 a with wide side up, it's hard to see from the pictures. I'm so dissipointed with the person we purchased the coop plans from. It cost us a lot of money and took a lot of time to build this, to only find out we really don't have enough...

Thank you for responding! I am a little angry that the plans we bought online said for up to 12 birds :/ we plan on using construction plastic around the run for winter and using a normal chicken waterer, maybe running A extension wire to the run for a heater waterer,if needed. I am concerned...

I have 5 (almost 4 months old) chickens. One I know for sure is a cockerel. The others have no characteristics of being male, except I noticed recently that, mostly in the morning when I let them out of their coop, the cockerel will fluff its neck feathers up and charge at one of 2 hens and the...

You all are so very helpful! Thank you so much! I am completely sad about the whole situation. I love that silly bird, we have raised him since a chick. I am sure this happens all the time, with sexed chicks, and I'm sure most end up on the table. It kills me to even think of that since he is...
