I am so glad this post is on here. This is my first year with Guineas and I woke up worried this morning that something was seriously wrong.

I never thought you were trying to accuse me of anything. I am actually try a couple of things you suggested. You and @Oddyseous were very helpful. I am actually happy to announce that color in the combs have darkened and they are looking better. I hope that maybe there will be eggs very soon.

Thank you. I think this was the most helpful advice. That and the person who suggested trying a different diet.

I am 100% sure they are hens. lol I can't imagine where they would hide them see that they are not free range. They have a nice size run but not so big that I can't see every inch of it.

Then I will change the feed then. I was going based on package direction for the treatments for Mites and Lice it says every 2-4 months. And the worming treatment says to do it every three months.

They were on starter for the first 4.5 months as chicks. We used was Manna Pro Chicken Starter same as the layer feed we are using now. I have thought about finding a different brand please let me know. There is no feather damage it 100% is caked mud from the other day that I have not cleaned...

Well its true we have never had Racoons in the area and we only have garder snakes and they don't steal eggs. I have 4 hens 3 Lavender Orpingtons and an Easter Egger.

yes when it rains their run area gets very muddy I just have to clean her off.

We don't have snakes or raccoons in my area.

We had rain the other day so they have a bit of mud on them.

The Easter Egger was a day-old chick when I got her and my Lavendar Orpingtons were a couple of weeks old. I switched them to layer feed at about 4 months old. Yes they get dusted regularly. We have rabbits and skunks in the area I have never seen a stay cat or dog in 5 years. They get along and...

Theri coop has a window and plenty of ventalation. I let them out every morning between 5:30 am and 6am and then they usually go into the coop on their on around 8pm

Here is pics I just took of my two year old Hens One of my Easter Egger and one of one of my Lavendar Orpingtons

Yes that Hen was a about a year old in that picture taken about this time last year. I started my current flock in June of 2020.I will get a more recent picture when I get home today.

I'll get some recent pictures when I get home. What is a pelvis check? Is this something I should be doing?

One of them is from a flock I got at a feed store and she was the only one who made it to adulthood the other 3 are from a family farm in Wisconsin.

I have Lavender Opringtons, They have a large run as I live in the city they can't freerange., They get oyster shells, layer pellets, a feed formuated to egg laying, and grubs. Yes they are girls 100% certain of it.

They are hens I 100% I know that. This is a picture of one of them from this time last year

I have a quick question. Its my first time raising chickens so maybe I am doing something wrong. My hens are going on 2 years old and I still have not had them lay one egg. They have access to grit and oyster shells as well as being on a diet that is suppose to aid in egg laying but I still...

I am so sorry to hear. I just had this happen to 4 of my hen last week. I sent mine to the lab but they could not determine anything.
