I've done a bit of searching but didn't find any threads that addressed this. We have an Araucana hen who has laid fewer than 10 eggs so far (spread out over 2 months at this point, but they are getting more regular -- every second or third day). She always lays them in the dirt. Now, we...

I mean, I love her and all, but when I see her running back and forth in the run, and then waddling close to the ground, pecking at the other hens and then leaving a tiny blue egg in the run bedding, I just have to shake my head. Today was her third egg. Every time she's going to lay, she goes...

Is it something to worry about? I went through a bunch of threads but nobody seems to have as big a gap as that.

I think I'm going to cry. After my holidays being taken up nursing Blanche back to health, we've just noticed one of our little silkie pullets falling over. We also have a bird behind our fireplace. Ugh. No rest for the wicked as they say! 1) What type of bird , age and weight. Silkie, POL...

Our Araucana, Blanche, has been really quiet today and is keeping to herself. At one point, she even put her head under her wing for a while. Her sister (?) -- another lavender Araucana we got at the same time -- laid her first egg this day last week, so I'm wondering if it has anything to do...

We recently added two Welsummers to our hen house and today they came out for the first time. OMG. They are so loud, and they "talked" incessantly -- at 8am on a Sunday morning. We had to catch them and lock them back into the hen house, and we're going to have to take them back. Our...
