    Could hen still be broody immediately after hatching and killing all of her chicks???

    Id try to observe the other girls if she or another goes broody again. One of my buffs always gets broody. The other girls were brutal to her because they wanted that nesting box. They pecked her comb bloody. Another hen may have killed yours if she got up for water. I moved her to a different...

    No laying

    I used to give them all they want but started getting rats. I usually just throw a couple cups of fed to mine each day now which may not be enough for all the hens

    ISA browns not laying

    I think I'll always have hens. I thinking Rhode Island redd instead of Isa Browns. It's really tough right now because I have not got an eggs since end of July on all my other birds. Many people around me suspect the feed had made them sterile as so many people around me and the world have had...

    ISA browns not laying

    I love Isa Browns but won't get them again. They are so friendly though. Mine all ended up with reproductive issues around 2 years old. They laid so much their body couldn't keep shells on the eggs. They ended up with lash eggs after 2 years which is pus. The vets said it was from irritation in...

    Chicken stopped laying

    Good. I just changed feeds so I'm hoping for the change. Like I said my neighbor had all the same breeds as me and is getting a dozen a day, so I know it's not the short hours. These same hens gave me half a dozen a day in the short days last year

    Chicken stopped laying

    Almost everyone in my area that used this feed myself included has had no eggs. Mine are going on 6 months without an egg. Many farmers around me the eggs just stopped completely. Avoid dumor, producers pride and Purina feeds as they are owned by the same company and possible tainted. There are...

    Chickens have completely stopped laying eggs for past 4 months

    Your not alone. I have only gotten 3 eggs since July from my established hens. I have 10 layers that are now turning 2. Production was great but completely stopped at the end of July. Also almost every farmer around me also has had production completely stop. Tractor supply is our main shop in...

    Why is my chicken feed killing everything that grows where I throw it?

    In thinking there might be something in the larger crumbles, maybe excess nutrients or something in it that kills the ground

    Why is my chicken feed killing everything that grows where I throw it?

    The chickens eat it within seconds then run into the yard. I'll do a test and this week put them where no birds can scratch and see what happens

    Why is my chicken feed killing everything that grows where I throw it?

    My mother as well buys Scratch grains to feed the wild birds and had noticed the grass gone where she puts it as well

    Why is my chicken feed killing everything that grows where I throw it?

    This is the two areas where I sprinkle it, the chickens don't scratch here as they eat in the morning the feed them go out and free range, my whole yard has nice grass besides where I sprinkle. I think I use organic dumar, organic chick starter from nature best. And dumor layer crumbles

    Why is my chicken feed killing everything that grows where I throw it?

    I've found it troublesome that where ever I throw my feed mix. Organic scratch grains, sunflower, and egg layer mix everything dies. My hens are laying terribly this summer as well. Makes me wonder if the food is intentionally being altered to make things harder for those of us wanting to live...

    Baby chicken won't stop crying unless held

    Thanks for the reply. We spoil the hens so maybe we will move it in the house. Just kidding but i could see us trying. I was worried it could die of stress so we have been holding it when it's chirping since it's so young. It chirped fur hours non stop last night. It's in my hands right now...
