That definitely was a very helpful link :) I’m pretty sure that she’s a hybrid of a Starlight Green Egger because she had similar “face markings” as one of the shown chicks had, but she had darker down. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of eggs she may lay now that I think she may be a...

Thanks for the responses, that’s great to hear that you both think that :)

Hey everyone, we ordered a batch of chicks in late June and they’re just about 7 weeks old right now. I ordered all hens (assorted colored egg layer) through Tractor Supply (which then orders through Hoovers Hatchery). I’m just wondering if there was a sexing error in one of my chickens because...

Update: I truly have no clue what she was sick with, but I gave her extra calcium and electrolytes, and she seems to have fully recovered. She hasn’t laid an egg still, but I’m guessing that I should expect her to start laying again very soon.

Update: After 26 days of not laying, she finally laid an egg again this morning. :cool:

Thanks, I’ll try it out and update about her situation in a few days.

Thanks, I’ll continue to keep an eye on her. :)

Hey everyone, I have a 2 year old hen who out of nowhere just stopped laying. She was a pretty regular layer, laying once every day or every other day, but recently she just stopped. She hasn’t laid since and it’s been a week. The weird thing is, however, that she has no signs of being sick or...

Thanks, what I actually realized is that there is no dislocation or twisting after all. It’s just that the tendon in the hock that keeps the feet where it should can’t pull it correctly. So, it’s essentially like it’s 90/180 degrees rotated from where it should be, if you think of the hock as a...

Hi, I’m new to BYC, and I need help for one of my turkeys. She’s a broad breasted white female, about 4 months old, and has a bad leg injury. Her leg is twisted and seems to be pushed one notch down to where it’s supposed to be. Also, her claws are curled kind of. This makes my turkey lay on her...
