    Confused - black copper maran laying sage colored egg

    Hello! This spring I purchased what I thought were 7 olive eggers, 3 mystic maran, 3 brahma and 2 americuanas. What I've ended up with are 2 black copper marans, 1 of which is a rooster, and 8 french black marans. However, the black copper maran hen is laying a sage colored egg and the french...

    Could Clover have chicks?

    We have a sweet Brahma hen, Clover. She is under a year old, but was injured pretty badly. Her feathers, skin, etc. were completely ripped off at the top of her back, covered by her feathers on her head. We brought her inside our huge laundry room & have 3 dog cages all together to give her...

    Does bumblefoot cause a pause in egg laying? And some bumblefoot advice too?

    My 10 month old Buff Orpington caused me concern that she is not laying eggs, it's been 5 DAYS--yikes. I considered that she might be decreasing eggs due to the shorter days. She was not showing the signature signs of being eggbound, no funny walk, no squatting, and no decreased appetite. In...

    Dead egg on hatch day?

    I have an egg from a batch of 6 that hasn’t hatched yet. All the other eggs finished yesterday and I’m just wondering if this one isn’t alive anymore. I finally decided to candle it this morning to check for movement and didn’t see anything. Any thoughts on if I should just call it quits or give...

    Pullets always watch one of my mature hens lay

    Has anyone experienced this behavior? Ever since they got comfortable with my older hens, they will always follow one particular hen into the coop to accompany her while she lays. What’s funny is she’s the top hen, and also the meanest. Seems harmless enough and I laugh when I catch it. I’m...

    Bad egg production

    Hi I’ve had chickens since I was 4 I’m now 27 and I’ve had bad luck with my hens the past 3 years. Their laying is very inconsistent. I got 6 chicks three years ago(buff orpingtons and cinnamon queens) . They started laying later than what I’m use to(around a year and 3 months). Once they...

    Broody hen question!!

    So one of my gamefowl hens was going broody and trying to steal eggs from a hen that was already sitting. We had to move her to a separate coop as she ended up breaking two of the eggs. After we moved her she didn’t want to sit anymore and became very flighty. We’ve since moved her back to her...

    Eggcited for Eggs!

    My second post of the night! I have four Buff Orpington chickens that are 16 weeks old. Yesterday, my littlest chicken (Rosemary) started doing what I think is the submissive squat when I approach to pet her. I have read that once they start doing this, they are near to egg laying. Is 16 weeks...
