OK, she's still healthy otherwise, I was just wondering because I have never had a hen stop so early before.

Hi, i know I haven't been on in a while, but I have a question, Last March Sparkle, my SL Wyandotte layed three meager eggs, like starter eggs, then stopped and hasn't dropped anything since. I took her to a vet, she said she didn't see any evidence of her being egg bound. She eats normally...

No, the roof overhang seems to be sufficient to keep rain out, The insides do get a little wet if there is a serious storm (high winds).

She's probably molting. Feathers, unlike hair, do not continuously grow out, but they do wear out. So birds have evolved to simply shed them periodically and grow new ones. Since the need protein to manufacture all this new fluff, egg production stops temporarily. Also, some breeds stop laying...

All of my ladies, Astrid, Ruffnutt and Sparkle are all laying, albeit sporadically at the moment. But today I got something from all three.

Yes, Yes, but I'll have to get them ready for uploading here, they are way too big at the moment.

If they did eat the PDZ it would be no different than grit (it is a mineral).

My last coop was on a hill so drainage wasn't a problem. This time though I'm on [more or less] level ground that does puddle when it rains. So this time I took a different tack; first I covered the bottom of the run with hardware cloth then covered it with a half ton of river rock (small...

That doesn't mean there isn't still good info on it; after all it didn't start as a "chat thread"...:)

Send some of it to Anna, Texas. Not a whole lot (we're flying out on the 26th!) just enough to light up my grandkid's eyes.
