I wouldn't be worried if i were you.
I have nine hens (a year and half) some of them molt alot, others not very much at all.
She is a new layer so may not have got the hang of where to lay them. OR she might be like some of my girls who will just lay where ever they feel like. It's all...
Hi

I adopted 6 ex bat hens a few months ago. They all had pale flopped over combs. I was told to expect this due to lack of sunlight and poor diet.
What are you feeding them, are they gettin enough time outside?
My girls are all doing well now and their combs look normal and healthy. I feed...
Hi
One of my chickens has been laying rotten eggs. They look normal and fine, but when you crack it open its mostly green and black and STINKS!!
I have nine hens and all the others are laying perfectly normal eggs, so i doubt it is something she is eating.
She is around 1 and a half years...

Hi there
One of my hens recently lost her feathers from her bum and chest and both patches were very red. They seem to be coming back slowly now. My other hens arent pecking pecking her. She has been pulling her own feathers out. I spoke to a friend who is a chicken breeder and was told...
I just had a look through my breed book and couldnt find your chook!
Wierdly enough she reminds me of my pepsi who is a white star, shes quite small, very quick and her tail was very big aswell. they are almost identical apart from the colour lol .
I would have to guess a mix xx
thank you for your reply.
I did look at Coccidiosis but to be honest i did rule it out as they dont have any othe symptom for it apart from pale comb and faces which is to be expected from ex battery hens. I will try the apple cider vinegar though and thank you for your advice
Hi all
i have recently adopted 6 ex battery hens, i already had 3 other hens. They seem to be getting on fine and growing healthier and stronger everyday. I noticed today that a few of there droppings have been green!
