That’s a great idea. I’m going to make that purchase too. Anything to make the process easier for me and the bird.

So glad I came upon this thread. I just removed one of these for the first time. Wow! It’s incredible how much stuff can be in such a small space. These poor girls! How did your girl fare?

So cool! I can’t wait to hear what you learn. :D

Did you get an answer for this elsewhere? I hope so, because I could use it. Thanks.

I never even thought to move one who is actively laying. Thank you for that.

Should I move a broody hen and the eggs if they’re on the coop floor which is dirt? Despite having lovely nesting boxes, many of my girls prefer laying on the dirt. I missed gathering eggs for a few days and a hen who has never been broody is now sitting on a clutch. I was thinking of filling a...

Great suggestion! Not that I can find. She’s the only one with this out of 21 adult birds so I assumed it was something along these lines. I’ll look around again. Thanks!

Thanks again for the info. I did some googling since your last response. This girl lays nearly every day and has continued to. It’s a first for me. I appreciate your input.

What will I get putting a Lavender Mottled Orpington Rooster over Lavender Orpington hens? General info and genetics info appreciated. Thanks in advance, Backyard Chicken folks! Y’all are the best!

Thanks again. There are vaccines for MG. Is this a vaccine that many chicken keepers give? I only learned about it while researching the symptoms I’ve seen over the last few days.

Thanks so much for the response! They have swollen foamy eyes, many have a rattle when they breathe, crowing is hindered. Almost all of the birds showing symptoms seem to be eating/drinking and getting around fine.

I have some chicks/chickens (all LF) from 8 weeks to adults showing all signs of Chronic Respiratory Disease and I’m finding a lot of conflicting information out there. This is something I haven’t had to deal with in my 10 years keeping chickens. Thank you all so much! How much Tylan 200 for...
