I have 3 buff orpingtons which are about a year old. If I get eggs, I either get 0, 1 or 2, never 3 in one day, Wouldn't I get 3 eggs once in a while if all 3 are laying? I don't know which ones are laying the eggs, I think they are all laying. I know I could put dye on their vents but I...

I have 4 nine week old buff orpingtons. They have been sneezingand clear runny nose for 2 weeks. I am not seeing any other symptoms. Eating, lots of energy and no drainage from the eyes. I am not sure what I should do with them. I have no other chickens to worry about as they are my only...
My chickens are refusing to eat their layer feed. They were molting so I thought they would eat more. For some reason they refuse to eat it. I bought new feed because I noticed the end of the last bag was a little moldy. I immediately bought a new bag but since then they are not eating it...

I am getting worried but they don't seem to be starving. I...
I have a very broody chicken. This is my first one. She has been broody for a week. We keep trying to kick her off the nest but she goes right back on. I am nervous because the others are not laying because she wont get out of the nest box. I also broke my ankle and it is my kids and...
My girls just started laying. I have 3 buff orpingtons. Yesterday there was a broken egg in the nest box. It looked like there was still a lot there when I cleaned it out, but what will happen if they ate the egg? Will it become an issue or have some of you had this happen and then not have a...
My first egg from my Buff orpington's. I am not sure which one did it (so I had to thank all 3 of them.) When I came home from work, it was so nicely placed in the nest box, next to the golf ball. I am so proud. Today is also my 20th wedding anniversary so it made it even more special...
