    Wyandotte’s not laying

    Hi there, I have three 18 month old Wyandotte hens that have stopped laying completely. I have not had an egg from either one for over two months. We are coming into winter here in Australia. Is this normal or should I be worried about other health related matters. Cheers, Paul M

    Bleeding Beak

    Hi all, I noticed a scab on the beak of one of my girls and wanted to photograph it to get your opinion. In the process of trying to get her into position for a photograph she brushed her beak on the wire of the coop and has knocked the scab off. Looks pretty nasty… Does anybody have an opinion...

    Missing Feathers

    Hi all, apologies in advance if this is a stupid question but I’m a bit of a Newby. I have 3 Wyandotte hens that seem to be in good health. This morning I noticed that one of them had feathers missing across her lower chest area. I checked the other two and they are all the same. Is this normal...

    Leg Mites?

    Hi all, Does anyone have an opinion about this? Mites or just some flaking? It’s curious that it’s only on one leg, the other looks quite normal. Thanks in advance. Paul m

    Another thing I’ve just noticed, is that the Silvers appear to have ‘runny noses’. I’m not sure if this is just a coincidence or a function of them having just drunk a bucket load of water… Do I sound like a neurotic, hyper anxious parent? ;)

    Bizarre behavior.

    Purchased on 7 October, the Gold stopped laying about a week ago. I just pushed them out of the coop and they are behaving like normal chickens again, eating, drinking and dusting. Only one egg between the three of them in three days though… Curiously, it has purple specs on it. I’ve never...

    Bizarre behavior.

    When I purchase them I was told they were one year old, so I guess they’ve been laying for a few months. When I first brought them home they were bulletproof, three eggs a day every day. Then the Gold one stopped laying and exhibited signs of what I thought was broodiness. The Silvers were not...

    Bizarre behavior.

    Some answers to your questions… But firstly, I’d like to say thank you for your interest and information on this. As a newbie these issues can be quite daunting, particularly when the welfare of the chickens is my primary concern. The gold stopped laying eggs about a week ago, and no eggs from...

    Bizarre behavior.

    This morning, they are positioned exactly as they were last night. As though they are statues… I’m a Chicken newbie, and I could have three brooders at once, what are the chances! I just hope they’re not sick. I take some comfort from the fact that they are very spritely for the couple of...

    So, I need to build three cages?

    Bizarre behavior.

    Further update. All three hens stayed in the coop for about 18 hours. Eventually I forced them out as I was concerned that they hadn’t eaten or drank in so long. They made a fuss initially, then got back to being chickens for a couple of hours. They ate, drank and dusted themselves. After a...
