    Corrected impacted crop chicken still not laying

    I have an Easter Egger hen who had an impacted crop for somewhere between a few days to up to a week. It took about 3 days to correct once I discovered it but it might have been a few days before I noticed. She’s still thinner than my other Americana but not super thin. I don’t believe she has...

    Only one egg daily in a four hen flock

    I've had my flock for about 8 weeks now and got them when they were a week old. I have four hens and a roo, and I keep the roo in the same hutch in a screened off area so he doesn't breed with the hens. They can all see each other and are eating well and have plenty of room. For about two weeks...

    Egg production stopped

    Our OG layers were born last August (7 of them), so they are now just over a year old. Two months ago we picked up a turkey and a silkie. They integrated well into the flock. We picked up more layers at a swap a month ago (7 new-to-us hens, within laying age). In addition, we picked up...

    Can I eat my chicken eggs while using Corid?

    Google says..... Amprolium (CORID) is approved for use in laying hens by the FDA, which means there is no egg withdrawal period when using it. Eggs laid by hens may be eaten during and after treatment with amprolium. What is the general opinion? I don't always trust the FDA.

    Newbie to egg hatching. Any tips?

    I’ve made two homage incubators (one is for lockdown one is for the first 16 days. Because I don’t want too much humidity) I started with 25 eggs in total. I had to discard about 7 yesterday due to being past due date (and DIS) I have one that’s supposed to hatch today but hasn’t made a sound...

    Are These Quail Eggs Viable?

    This is my very first time hatching Cotournix Quail and Im worried these may have stopped developing. It's day 15 (lockdown day). I ended up with 4 that developed to this, the air cells seem worryingly large. And one egg that's too dark to see through. Will these likely not hatch? I have a gut...

    Egg eating chickens

    I have in total 15 chickens. They are all fed 16% protein feed and given ground egg shell frequently. We recently noticed our egg production dropped drastically.
