    Squatting for 3 weeks but no egg?

    Great info! Thanks. She's squatting for me. We don't use any extra lights, just the light of day. She's ventured into the nest once or twice. Guess it's just on her terms! Thanks again for the info!

    Squatting for 3 weeks but no egg?

    Hi! My Buff Brahma is 8 months old and has been squatting for three weeks. I know they might take longer than other breeds to lay, but is it normal for her to be squatting so long without an egg? Thanks!

    Not Molting and still laying

    I have three 8 month old hens. One started laying at 5 months is an Olive Egger and still laying, one is a Buff Brahma, squatting and looks like getting ready to lay, the other is a white Easter Egger and no sign of laying. They aren't molting, either and it's early December. Should I be...

    F2 Olive Egger laying alot!

    I don’t know what she was crossed with. Her eggs are a beautiful muted green. I’ve heard F3 lay even darker green but I’m no expert!

    F2 Olive Egger laying alot!

    I have three chickens all around 5 1/2 months old. My F2 Olive Egger has already laid 24 eggs, once 8 in a row and once 7 in a row. They are smallish eggs, but have yolks and are edible. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Or just be happy? She's very healthy.

    What could this be and what to do?

    Nope. I kept trying, but nothing. The swelling went down, though. Very strange.

    What could this be and what to do?

    UPDATE I used the hydrogen peroxide and neosporin. No pus ever came out, but continued to use. Her ear looks normal and cough has been gone for a week now. But I got the Tylan50 since it’s good to keep on hand. She’s laying more now than she has all last year. Go figure. Thanks everyone for...

    What could this be and what to do?

    I think I had auto correct going. I meant Tylan50 and neosporin. Sorry about that!

    What could this be and what to do?

    I’m reading that I should inject the Tylenol?

    What could this be and what to do?

    Thanks so much! Used the hydrogen peroxide and newsprint tonight. Separated her from the others and am ordering the Tylenol. She’s still laying and her comb and wattles are bright red, so that’s a pretty good sign. Will let you know what happens and thanks again!

    What could this be and what to do?

    This is my 8 year old hen, Delphine. She has no signs of illness except a small cough and this lump. It’s not warm to the touch. Not sure what to do. Suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

    NOT THE NORMAL PECKING

    So good to hear someone else has experience this, too. I'll stop the BluKote. I do have some Peck No More, but it came off rather quickly. Game pellets sounds like a good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of increasing their protein. Thanks for such a quick reply, too.

    NOT THE NORMAL PECKING

    I have 4 chickens. Two are practically inseparable. One is a BCM and the other an EE. They sleep together, bathe together and generally just hang out. They get along really well as do all four of them. But the BCM likes to "groom" the EE. It's usually if she has food or sand in her beard...

    Nope. Not a Bantam. Her eggs are the same size as the others. (And thanks for the reply!)

    Black Copper Maran eggs with spots on shells

    Thanks for the reply. I got her from a woman in Northern Ca. that breeds chickens. But she was very up front with me and said her BCM came from a hatchery. So, the DNA could certainly be a factor. Well, at least I know it's not something I'm doing wrong! Thanks again for the reply!

    Buff Orpington size

    I got my first BO about a year ago along with a BCM and EE. Phoebe, my BO was the first to lay. But she's the smallest of the group. She's not a bantam, but boy is she small for an Orpington. I expected a big girl. My BCM is the big one, and Phoebe is the smallest. She's adorable with a...

    Black Copper Maran eggs with spots on shells

    I'm new to the BCM. Mine is a little over a year. Her first eggs were last year toward the end of the season. She had some eggs that were a beautiful dark brown and others that had dark spots all over the shell. Today was her first one and again, lots of dark spots all over. Plus the color...
