Yesterday I had a Northern Goshawk got to my chickens killing one,and injuring two. Today when I got home one of the injured ones was hopping badly. I lifted up her wing to see no skin left. Is she saveable?
I have a 22 week old Java who has been laying for three weeks. Today she did not leave the nesting box and did not like me moving her to get the egg. What is up?
Here is the egg we have been waiting for. Our Java born at the same time started laying three weeks ago. The Black Americana pushed her first egg out today.
My 19 week old Java may not be using the nesting box, but her fifth egg (large darker one), looks good enough to eat.
Now the wait is on for the Black Americana to start laying!
I have a 19 week Java that has laid her first two eggs, both on the roosting stick. They fell to their doom. How do I get her to move into the nesting box?
Thank you, for that shorthand knowledge. I would have to guess that it is not an EE, because I ordered the brown egg laying pullets. Although I am sure stranger things happen at the hatchery.
