    6 month old Pullet stopped laying

    Hello all! I know questions like this are pretty common but I still wanted to ask in my own way. I have 6 pullets. 2 EEs I bought in March, other 4 (OE and 3 Marans) were bought in late May. They were separate until late September when I managed to integrate them successfully. Up until that...

    Eggs and the govt. shutdown

    I know I said the word government in the title (well abbreviated it anyway) but this is not at all meant to be a political thread. I don't care how we got here or whose fault it is, it doesn't matter. That out of the way, as some of you probably have seen there is a very good chance that SNAP...

    New to chickens

    We got eight Cream Legbars in Feb 2025 at 3-days old. We love them, and as I am retired they are a big part of my sanity. I researched a lot and then built a decent coop and run, and the ladies seem happy in there. Six boxes for eight birds and I use one for in-coop food and water. We're rural...

    Aracaunas

    I am looking for some legitimate Aracauna breeders. I'm for sure looking for a roo. I have an opportunity to buy a double tufted, rumpless female. One question I have is if I breed a double tufted to either a single tufted or clean face what are the chances I will get double tufted? Or...

    Hello from Central Florida

    About 25 years ago I had about 10 chickens that would free range and coop at night. We had a few disappear in the night and we gave the rest to a neighbor. Since then, I have been on the retail side of chickens and farm animals and recommending everyone check out BYC for all of their chicken...

    Multiple pigeon nests laying three eggs- what's going on??

    Heya all! Basically, recently, around three different pairs of my pigeons are laying three eggs. At first I though it was a bird nest stealing or laying an extra egg in already made nests, but from the single time I've let all three hatch- (I usually remove every egg that's laid regardless but...

    Hen with cancer started laying again ??

    Hi all, My 5 y/o Buff Cochin was 'diagnosed' with carcinomatosis as some might already know. I posted a lot about this 2-3 years ago when she first got the diagnoses, thinking she was going to pass. The vet gave her a suprelorin implant and an expected few months to live. Its been a handful of...

    Rescued eggs and chicks still hatching??? (Please help)

    Hi everyone! So I have an issue. Yesterday we got a message about someone's eggs that they bought hatching. There were 7 already hatched but one was stuck in the egg. Theyre having some issues. I've hatched chickens before so when I got home I used some steam and warm water to help free the lil...

    Hatching Rings to hold an air cell upright during incubation

    I have designed a little gadget (hatching rings) to hold an egg in an upright position during lockdown phase of incubation. This comes in handy when you are hatching small or hard to hatch eggs. Especially if you incubated in the upright position for the first phase. I created these while...

    Nature-Themed Hatch-Along

    I decided to do one final hatch-along for the summer! Hubby was more than supportive of me turning my half of our gaming room into an "incubation station" and there was a deal for 48 eggs for $47, so I decided to jump on it! 🤭 It ended up including purebred Ameraucana and we even got an...

    Sick/deficient guinea hen?

    We have 7 guinea fowl, almost positive there are three hens as that's approximately how many eggs I get from them a day. For a while now, one light cream egg has been appearing very wrinkly and warped, still completely solid and hard. This morning I let everyone out of the coop and one of the...

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    So I put some eggs to hatch on the 4th. These were the last fertilized eggs from my rooster, and I was hoping to get some of his kids (we had to get rid of him because he was picking on one of our hens.) Everything seemed well, heartbeats and Development seemed to match. This was day 18. It is...
