thanks everyone for all your help. I have come to the conclusion that I know next to nothing about chickens and gave away three would be egg laying hens. Going to the feed store today to get some more chicks. I'm also going to try and figure out that the other chicken is. She is slightly smaller...

(what kind is this one?) (the chicken in question) (Rhode Island red and the white one) Ok, I think I figured out the pictures this time. I'm not figuring out how to get the pictures in the post. If you click on the link, it will show you the pictures. I will play with it a little more...

Ok, here are the pictures of my chickens. I'm starting to think maybe I did give away the laying hen. I did find 2 eggs just now. Both very light brown. I thought they were white until I picked them up and looked in the light.

I didn't even think about that. See how helpful you are. I don't know much about chickens, obviously. I thought a large comb meant rooster. I must have given away the laying hen thinking it was a rooster. The first picture you posted could be 2 of my 3 chickens. They look just like that. I will...

She used to have a tiny little comb. After I gave the roos away the egg laying stopped. I thought it was because they she was...

I brought home 5 baby chicks from the store, 4 California whites and one Rhode Island Red. 3 of the whites turned out to be roosters. Big combs, no eggs. I was getting only white eggs for about a week, then I gave all 3 roos to the gardener. Now, my one remaing white hen has a huge comb and no...

I'm new to the world of chickens and not very educated about them. My problem is no eggs. I brought 5 chickens home from the feed store right after Easter. Supposedly, they were all hens. 3 turned out to be roosters. I started getting eggs from 1 of the hens about 2 months ago. She layed about 5...

If he's eating more than normal and not gaining weight, he may have worms. Get some wormer at the feed or pet store, give it to him, and then another dose 2 weeks later. If it doesnt' get better, take him to the vet. There are a few varities of worms that you need a prescription wormer for.
