My chickens have been supposed to been laying a while ago yet nothing! Im starting to lose hope. If you are wondering They are a production red and a easter egger or Ameraucana ( Stuck between them). I know they take a while to lay but even then i feel like they were supposed to be laying by now.
Im a bit confused on my chickens breed. I cant get photos right now but i have others threads with pictures of her so i will send links.

A couple of minutes ago we finally got a coop for the chickens but when we put them inside they went absolutely haywire. They are flapping there Wings trying to get out. Anything I can do to calm them down?
My production red pulled is making weird sounds. Its very squeaky sounding. I don't think its then starting to cluck because they have stared to cluck a while ago. She is drinking eating and her vent seems fine. She is also acting normally so I don't know whats wrong with her.
I have no idea what this girl is. A couple of months ago I posted a different forum about the same chickens breed but since it was so young it was hard. Someone guessed she was a production red but that's when she was small. So any ideas?
(For context my chickens were inside because it was raining hardly and it was lighting ) Dont know how or when it happened but my chicken flew into a plastic container, the top was not one tight so when she flew in the top fell and she could not get out. Later that night I found her and took her...
I have a black chicken, her feathers have a purple and green sheen. Deep brown eyes, has a beard and pea comb that has barley grown yet ( Shes only 3 months old. ). She has black feet and 4 toes. The picture down below looks like her. It is not my picture, its from the internet...
Ever since I got my chickens I have been feeding them the same food ( pic below shows it ). They are around 2-3 months old now, should I change there food? ( If I should anyone got any recommendations? )
My easter egger chickens has a very small comb and blandish color compared to my other chicken (completely normal ). I heard its a sign of illness but she is the most lively and dominate so i dont knows whats wrong? I would send a picture the the quailty would be terrible so im putting a stock...
My black chick ( 4 weeks old ) is having watery poop. The strange thing is that she poops normally and watery. The watery poops happen every few days or so. Also whenever she has the watery poops she has some chunks of food in the poop. Nothing to mind blowing or serious but you can tell its...
I'm been observing my chicks and I notice my black chick has barley developed the comb yet, and if it has it's awfully hard to see. He is about 4 weeks old. Does this mean it's a female? ( keep in mind it was the runt of its group, she was awfully small but it pretty big now )
