    Can't seem to find a reason why one hen has stopped laying!?

    I'm in the UK, so we're suppose to be going into summer now but our winter was so mild this year that all the hens just carried on laying throughout.

    Can't seem to find a reason why one hen has stopped laying!?

    I got another soft shelled egg today found in the bedding but yesterday i got an actual egg from her! We put out the layers pellets in the morning before i let them out the coop, the pellets are out for them all day so they're not rationed with their feed. If she's molting surely she'd be...

    Can't seem to find a reason why one hen has stopped laying!?

    The feed is Heygates Country layers pellets with 16% protein and 5% fibre. Some days i do forget about the corn in the evenings so the layers pellets is all she'll eat throughout the day, apart from grass etc from free-ranging. I'll give them plain water too for a bit and see.

    Sexing Partridge Wyandotte Chicks

    I read that if they've got 'eyeliner' it's a pullet and if not, it's a rooster. Which would be the case looking at your pictures too.

    Can't seem to find a reason why one hen has stopped laying!?

    I have an 18 month old speckledy hen (Rhode Island Red crossed with a Maran). I've had pretty much an egg a day from her since she started laying as a pullet. About 2 months ago she's stopped laying. A couple of times after she first stopped laying i remember looking into the coop at night to...

    Chick pooping blood

    I couldn't find any shops locally that sold coccidiosis treatments so i've ended up going to my local farm vets. They were super helpful and looked at my chick, looked at a poo sample under the microscope and then gave me 4 syringes with the measurements of the treatment that i needed. Have been...

    Chick pooping blood

    The vaccinated 3 have been vaccined against Mareks, Infectious Bronchitus, Newcastles and Common Mircoplasma. Then i've been giving them all medicated feed too. From what i can see it's only the 1 chick pooping blood, i put it by itself last night and had it on kitchen paper so i could have a...

    What Does It Look Like Happened To You All?

    Someone i know had something that looked very similar, turned out that the rooster had decided to corner the hen and pecked her head silly. She is a pure white hen but by the end of it her whole head and down her neck was red with blood. Needless to say the rooster wasn't around too much longer...

    6 week old bantam sneezing

    I bought 3 two week old chicks from a breeder a couple of weeks ago and all 3 of them were sneezing, shaking their heads etc. It turned out it was from where they'd had their vaccinations and had 'colds' as a side effect. They've all got over it since and are now fine.

    Chick pooping blood

    I wonder if anyone has any ideas to help me...I have 8 chicks; 5 that i've hatched, 3 that i've bought. The 3 that i'd bought had all been vaccinated and once i'd got them home and into the brooder with the others, i noticed that they were all sneezing. The sneezing then spread onto my own that...

    Vaccinated chicks with Non-vaccinated chicks

    So, my chicks have been on antibiotics for 10 days now and they're all sneezing now, one even seems raspy. The vaccinated chicks are fine now, just my own hatch are now sneezing and scratching their noses. I'll carry them on until day 14...if there's still no improvement, what do I do?

    Vaccinated chicks with Non-vaccinated chicks

    Hi, Thanks to both of you for your help! My little ones have started to do tiny sneezes so i've now put them on antibiotics. Just hope it works and they all survive. I lost my eldest hen today and i really don't want to loose any chicks too. Thanks again

    Vaccinated chicks with Non-vaccinated chicks

    Oh and when you say a round of antibiotics, how long is a round for? A week? And would i do a 800mg dosage like i would for full grown chickens or a weakened dosage?

    Vaccinated chicks with Non-vaccinated chicks

    So you'd put all chicks on antibiotics straight away? I'd be worried about it taking too much out of them, especially if it might give them diarrhea and they're feeling poorly already... I've put electrolytes in their water to give them a boost to try and get them over their colds and help the...
