isa brown

Horrible way to spend a birthday. Neighbor's dog got out and killed my Isa Browns. Well, it's coming down to either the dog dies or the man owes me a lot of money. Google isn't giving me good answers, these Isa Browns were at their prime laying age. Exactly how much is one Isa Brown hen? I...

Hi there! I have been doing some research but it can be quite difficult for me to understand if it's the same circumstances. I have an Isa Brown hen named Precilla and she lives with a naked neck rooster named Sam. They have had one chick named Bailey (my picture) and she has gone on to have 11...

Our 2 year old Isa Brown hen has been losing feathers for around 6 months now. These photos are of her on the roost tonight (please excuse the low quality). I can’t see any sign of mites or lice. I can see blood around some of the feathers though. Do you think one of the other hens might be...

Paternal stock: Barred Plymouth Rock Maternal stock: ISA Brown Can the chicks be sexed by their feather color? Has anybody done the cross?

I was out putting the chickens up for the night/ collecting the eggs, and I found 9 eggs! 9! And I didn’t miss one yesterday or the day before either. They lay 8 every day. Is this normal? I’ve heard that it’s impossible, but it’s not the first time this has happened to me...

Hi I have a young isa brown hen who has bumble foot and it got worse because I was sick for 2 days. What can I do to help she is still laying frequently but is starting to lift her feet up. She's in the garage in a small crate (I'm not aloud to keep her inside) and I soak her in Epsom salts with...

So I probably can't get any more chickens right now and even if I did l, I have other breeds I want to try first but when I first got my chickens two years ago, one of the breeds I was considering was sex links. I decided against them because I read they don't tend to live long and tend to have...

Hi Everyone, I've spent some time on the main site, learning and yearning, but have only just ventured to the forums. I look forward to sharing in the wealth of knowledge, meeting chicken owners from all over the world and finding out all about our different lives with poultry. I am on the...

My pullets JUST started laying, this is my 13th egg from 6 Isa Browns. They've all varied in size, darkness and speckles, which i expected. But this one had what looked like a spot of brown wiped off when i collected it! I took it inside, washed it, rubbing it firmly to get the dirt/manure off...

my husband purchased 12 meat chicks and 6 layers this past weekend. Currently they are all together in the same brooder. How long can I keep them together? Do they meat chickens have a different feed than the layers? How soon can I bring them outside to the coop? Thanks everyone! Any...

Hi all! I have 5 Wyandotte girls, will be 24 weeks old in 2 days. Only one girl is laying daily, nice perfect eggs. However, there was one day two weeks ago where I collected 5 eggs from the coop! I check 3x daily (mostly to go spend time with the girls) and am wondering if there is anything I...

So we just got our first few eggs! We assumed it was from our Rocks because they are 4 weeks older than our ISA Browns but in fact it was our ISAs laying! The Rocks are about 21 weeks old. It seems like the ISA Browns are laying early but I just want to know when I should expect the Rocks to...

So my ISA Brown hen (unsure of her age) has a very nasty butt. I checked on my flock and noticed that all of the feathers surrounding her vent were soaked in black/brown runny poop! I immediately got the hose and gently tried to wash it off. Her vent was red and a bit swollen. Does anybody know...
