Sounds like she is getting ready to lay! Mine would squat and then lay an egg a little over week after that! :)

If its possible, you can put the baby chicks where the bigger chickens are, but in a separate cage for the baby chicks, that way the big ones know there are some newbies around. I introduced my younger chicks at 8 weeks to my 14 weekers, earlier than I wanted but we had tornado winds here and I...

Yep, some hens can grow spurs :) But if you are seeing those little bumps on yours, all chickens have them. HTH!

Glad you took care of that evil animal! I would have stayed up the next night to ;) What kind was it?

I agree. Keep her wound cleaned, I think it is safe to put ointment on her like triple antibiotic, keep her separated, but let her and the chickens see her, so she doesn't feel alone. Poor thing, hoping for a quick recovery! :( You might also want to go to your local feed store and see if they...

I am so sorry :( :(

You can give them some scrambled eggs, yogurt, little bit of bread, veggie scraps, some shredded cheese, find them some worms or bugs. Do they free range outside?

YYYYAAAAYYYYY!!!!! :D

That's a good question about the ducks, my mom has some and she has yet to get an egg, unless they are hidden pretty well! ;) I believe hers are 4 1/2 months old.

YYYYAAAAYYYYY!!!!!! :D So exciting isn't it!!!! Mine is on her fourth egg, and it was big this morning!! So happy for you and Angel!! Woooohooooo!;)

Yay! So she is sitting in it, so that means hopefully tomorrow at the latest she will have that egg!!! Can't wait for you!! :D

Do you have any golf balls or plastic eggs around? Put them in the nesting box and put her in them, maybe that will help her out some. I did that so she would have an idea, but sometimes I would find the balls or eggs scattered on the floor!:rolleyes: That also helps them not pecking at them to...

She looks ready! My leghorn was acting the same way, two days before she laid her first egg, she sat in the nesting box, fluffed it up, made lots of noise, in then there was the egg!! It was like looking at my first pregnancy test!! lol :lol: I was so excited, ran out screaming and clucking...
