    My chickens stopped laying eggs but are too young to be done

    Hi there, I have only two chickens, and Rhode Island Red and an Alstrotorp. They should both be around 2 1/2 and 3 years old. Over the summer they stopped laying eggs, first it was getting less regular and then they stopped altogether. One of the last badges I found outside in the yard and then...

    When did you get your first egg?

    I did a quick search and did not find another thread like this so if there is one, please let me know and I’ll move over there. I’m looking forward to the impending arrival of my girls laying their first eggs (they are about 16 weeks now) and thought I’d love to hear how others felt when they...

    Spring fed Well Water...good or bad?

    Hello all. We have well water from an underground aquifer. The water to our home runs through a filtration system but all the water outside does not run through that system.

    Squatting Behavior

    Hi All! I noticed one of my leghorns and one of my RIR's are just starting to squat. How long do you think til they lay? One of my RIR's was squatting and laid her first egg about a week later.

    Is my duck egg bound or brooding?

    i have 1 and a half year old pekins. I get an egg a day from each of them, all year round! They are very consistent except a few hick ups here and there. I noticed my one stopped laying about 3 or 4 days ago. I always see her in her nest, but never an egg. She goes back and forth to her nest in...

    Youngest age for coturnix to lay?

    hi all! I hatched my second set of coturnix on June 10th and 11th and ended up with 5 perfect little guys and one that became cross legged as it grew. Not sure if I will cull that one yet as it seems ok for now. The weirdest thing is that it’s July 2nd, and I found an egg with them- they’re 3...

    9 year old hen laying

    I've been raising chickens and turkeys for 10 years now and assumed my old hens were no longer laying. I was surprised earlier this week when my 9-year-old Australorp laid an egg. Today I was astonished when she laid another one. I usually have quite a few chickens and assumed they stopped...
