My 3-year-old ISA brown hen, Sandy, has not been acting herself in the past months. She is quiet, even more so than normally and even while around the other chickens. She is slow to move with the flock as they rotate around the yard, freeranging.
She ruffles her feathers, sits in one spot, and...
Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...
Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself here! I am a homeschooling mom of 4 kiddos and am excited to start my journey as a chicken mama as well!
Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We ARE new to chickens! As a matter of fact, we have our first flock growing well in...
I have 3 Isa Brown laying hens that are 11 months old. They finished up molt 3 months ago. Not seen a single egg from them. They have plenty of room, healthy food, plus scraps. I gave them calcium and I cannot for the life of me figure out why they aren't laying. I spray the. For mites also, so...
Hi, I’ve just been given a chicken. It was bullying some silkies at its old home (it’s a solo Isa Brown hen). I’ve had it in isolation away from my other chickens and there hasn’t been a problem with them seeing each other through the fence. I tried to see how the hen would be with my flock so...
Home hatched and handled daily. I have five week old Roos that need rehoming. They are ISA brown/Easter Egger mix. Some have rose comb others have single comb. Very friendly. Located in Central Connecticut
My ISA Brown is showing some signs of corayza, but they are the only one being affected by it.
I have 26 ISA Brown and all of them are infected, however I put 11 and 15 ISA Brown on two different farms (with different breeds to go along with them). The Black Australorp and Rhode Island Red...
My three ISA Brown chicks are a few weeks younger than my other chicks they’re in the brooder with. I think they’re about 4 weeks old. Our coop will be finished next week. They’re mostly feathered besides their heads are getting feathers still. Do you think they’ll be good to go out to the coop...
My 3 y/o ISA Brown hen, Buffy, has very much slowed down her laying (with some intermittent lengthy breaks). However, this past week, I noticed she'd go to the box like she had to lay without producing an egg. This made me nervous about internal laying, which I'd just lost my beloved BR to after...
My 5 year old ISA brown has been sickly for a while, and has been being picked on by our other hens for it. She's in a bad state, and we have isolated her from them, but she has started coughing up (?), a watery brown liquid. I have almost accepted at this point this it for her and we might need...
My 3 y/o ISA Brown, Buffy, has stopped laying and her comb and wattles are pale. Beyond that, her energy and appetite are good, no swelling in her abdominal region, and her poops look beautiful lol. She's not spending any time in the nest box like she's trying to lay either. Should I be...
I have 6 runner ducks and 5 ISA brown hens, who I spoil very much with small amounts of fresh fruit and veg almost every day. I always check online to make sure that anything I'm planning on letting my flock try is safe for them.
Giving them their treats has actually improved my mental health...
This lady was sold to us as an ISA Brown, however with her coloring and laced patterned breast feathers I'm not so sure. She is approximately 6 months old, smaller, not laying yet, and very inquisitive and friendly. She has all white legs and feet. I'm just dying to know if she's a generic fluke...
Hello, I have a 3 1/2 year old ISA brown chicken. Her name is Sprint, and she has been a generally healthy and spirited chicken, with no prior health problems.
However, I have recently noticed her crop is more full than the others. We have 2 additional brown, ISA chickens and I've noticed their...
Good morning... yesterday I noticed my 16 week old ISA brown being less active. She was walking around, but not her normal self. It was almost "bedtime" and she was not going into the coop with the other girls.
I picked her up and looked her over and she seemed fine, chirping to me and moving...
I got two ISA Brown chickens almost a week ago, they are roughly three weeks from laying age. I'd like to be able to hold them, and I have already got them to eat from my hand, but are still scared of being held. When there is someone holding each chicken they seem to calm down a lot and even...
