    I have a friend with chickens and she said one of her chickens laid this. It was about 4 inches long. She is very concerned. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

    I only have 8 hens, but here it is, the dead of winter, and I still get 4 or 5 eggs/day. Not a wonderful or extra clean coop, but, when I was having the problem of too few eggs, the only thing I changed was, I ONLY give them layer pellets. They free range in the daylight hours, so they get...

    I have had all of the above situations happening with my small flock of laying hens. Right now, though, I have 6 young hens (from 14 months down to 7 months)all laying almost every day. I get 4-6 eggs a day. For a long time, I was just getting 1 or 2 a day. Then I finally found a secret nest...

    Another thing I forgot to clarify. The hens that used to produce very well, but now are not producing at all, are 2 partridge rock hens, and 2 production red hens, and they are approx. 2 years old.

    Thank you. I forgot to add some details. I was told about the shorter days, so we installed a light with a timer in January, and within a couple of weeks, they were laying again. I also forgot to talk about their diet. I give them laying pellets, mixed half and half with scratch, in a hanging...
