I don't know what is wrong. My rooster can't walk and kind of lays to one side. I looked for injuries but see nothing and legs and feet appear ok. I started giving him vitamins in water, gave him an antibiotic injection and dusted him for mites. How frequently should I give the...
Hi, I have my first NN hen. She is about four months old. Do all NN hens lay green or blue eggs? I don't know much about my NN yet, except she is very sweet.
Happened to move my well-house today and was shocked to find all these eggs. I thought they were not laying much due to the heat. Only two hens lay in the nesting boxes inside the coop. I have fake eggs in the boxes. How can I figure out where they are laying now and how can I get them to lay in...
