    Where do *most of the brown grocery eggs come from?

    Vital Farms doesn't say outright on their website, but it looks like their brown egg layers are Isa Browns. And I've seen Isa Browns recommended as good layers by many articles. Rhode Island Reds are also pretty common in more industrial sized spaces, I think.

    Molts can stop and start again as well, just so you know ☺️

    Possible causes of thin hen?

    Sounds like the Australorp is molting, which is normal. Just give her protein treats while she's going through it. Some are quick, some are slow. I've had hens molt for up to 3 months, but most of them take about a couple weeks to a month. Idk what else you can do to assess the skinny hen...

    Keep 28, 31, 32, and 105. However, I'm confused as that brings it down to 3 hens and 4 pics. Can I keep Violet as my fourth submission then? She is 33. Sorry, I just got some teeth pulled and am still feeling the anesthesia.

    Okay, I'll keep the two of Serafina and eliminate Calypso.... sad, she's such a unique hen, but Serafina is prettier.

    Can I have two pics of the same hen? Or is it one pic per hen?

    Possible causes of thin hen?

    Well, please be mindful of people's experiences and differing environments. Tapeworm has afflicted my flock for a year now, and it's the only parasite I dealt with for a long time until lice came along. I am unable to eradicate it, I have tried. But it's worth people trying to find out whether...

    Possible causes of thin hen?

    Just fyi tapeworms don't show in every dropping, so it could take a whole day or two of trying to catch it fresh. Good luck!

    Possible causes of thin hen?

    Hmm. Well, I ran into tapeworm being a hidden problem until I noticed it in a fresh poop. You only see them in fresh poop, so if you can, maybe follow her around. For me, the worms consistently appeared in the hour before roosting time. I definitely had hens lose weight from that parasite. They...

    Possible causes of thin hen?

    Could be a number of things, I think. Perhaps she isn't being allowed to eat as much by the others? Do you have multiple feeders?

    Fish/aquarium peeps! Rusty slime?

    Hopefully the people at the store are knowledgeable and can recommend the best plant for a small tank with that kind of lighting. Shrimp and snails (not the tiny invasive ones, the reputable ones) are great at eating unwanted algae, but they also need hiding places. You can get tiny ghost...

    Fish/aquarium peeps! Rusty slime?

    I had a 29 gallon aquarium for two years, and a 10 gallon before that. I found that the less I did with the water, the better, but I also had an ecosystem of live plants and I supplemented with liquid CO2. It takes a minimum of two weeks for things to settle, as the water filter all by itself...
