    3 Cream Legbar & Easter Egger Cockerels to rehome in the San Francisco Bay Area

    The second grade class at our school hatched out a clutch of Cream Legbar and Easter Egger eggs (the person I bought the eggs from keeps both breeds together, so she couldn't tell me which eggs came from which kind of crosses) on February 12. Unfortunately for us city dwellers, three of the...

    Constipated? Egg bound? Something else?

    Thanks, everyone! We've got her set up in the crate in the coop. She's not thrilled with the crate, but seems otherwise fine. I appreciate the help!

    Constipated? Egg bound? Something else?

    Thanks for the tip about the blanket on the crate. I will do that now. I haven't ruled out broodiness. Since constipation or being egg bound would be more concerning, I thought I'd rule *those* out and if I can do that, chalk it up to broodiness. I can't completely rule out that she's eaten...

    Hi All! I have a flock of 22 week old pullets. (2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barnvelder, 2 Amercuana, 1 Violet Orpington, and 1 Production Blue). We got our first eggs about 3 weeks ago. One of those eggs was completely shell-less. I knew that can be expected from pullets coming...

    First egg then nothing -- What's going on?

    So, I was clearly worried about nothing. I heard a ruckus earlier this afternoon, and look what I found: I still don't know for sure who laid it, but I currently suspect Ang, my New Hampshire Red as she's been the most interested in the best box. Thanks again for the reassurance, @rjohns39 !

    First egg then nothing -- What's going on?

    Greetings all, I'm relatively new to chicken raising and BYC. We got our first four chicks as day-old hatchlings on St. Patrick's Day, so they are now almost 20 weeks old. We have two buff Orphington's, a golden sex link, and what I've been told is a New Hampshire Red. Three of the pullets...
