    Gamefowl laying hen Stockton, CA

    1-ish year old gamefowl hen mix needs a good home. She flew into our yard randomly just before Christmas last year and none of our neighbors have claimed her. We got some more pullets so she could have friends and the integration has not gone well. She thinks she owns our entire yard and that...

    Edit- she has found a new home :) Hi all, we have had chickens in San Francisco for many years, and we have one of our flock now who is incredibly loud. Not just when laying, it's pretty frequent and it's not good because we have neighbors close by. She was born March 2023 and lays big brown...

    Looking to re-home 2 newly laying hens

    I have 2 young hens (23 weeks old) that I’m hoping to rehome. A Buff Orpington and an Easter Egger. Together they lay 7-8 eggs a week.

    Chicks and Chickens Separated

    We sadly are only down to one laying hen so we decided to try again with more baby chicks. Would you suggest to still keep them (the laying hen and chicks) separate once it’s time for the chicks to come out?

    Help!! Prolapse??

    Hi there, My year old laying Silkie hen expelled a large blood clot yesterday so I started the whole flock on Amperol for possible coccidiosis. This morning, it appears the hen had pushed out her bowel? Does this look like a prolapse and should I gently push it back in??

    Egg bound hen

    My hen, Myrdle, is straining her abdomen and vent a lot, her comb and wattles are pale, and she’s waking funny. She is pooping fine, so I’m guessing she’s eggbound 😬. I just soaked her in Epsom salts and massaged her abdomen for an hour or so but she hasn’t laid yet. I’m planning on keeping her...

    Are we SURE this is a pullet?

    I posted picture of "her?" about a week ago and everyone said pullet. But she has started mounting my laying hen every chance she gets. She's about 25 weeks and not a single egg yet. I thought White Rock chickens were supposed to start laying around 20 weeks? My laying hen is an Easter Egger...
