Almost twice the size as normal and just under twice the weight.
On the left 12.5grams and the right, a whopping 22grams! :eek:I couldn't believe the poor girl layed it!
From the Older breeding flock. do you guys think she'll be okay? Shes about a year and a half old i believe.
Im shocked...
I have some hens I got for a gift from my grandparents. I've had them for a year now, and they were older hens when I got them.
They aren't putting out many eggs and its's costing more to feed them than the eggs they are putting out. Plus it seems like I will have to invest in more expensive...
So while cuddling my chickens I recently noticed that my Ancona laying hen has 5 toes on one foot? She seems completely normally other than the fact that only one of her foot has an extra toe.
Quick question here:
I have some hens going through the molt, I know they need more protein. Will adding artificial light in the coop decrease the protein need and help get them through the molt faster? OR, will adding a light increase the protein needs and make them need even more?

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...
Looking for a few laying rhodies to add to my flock, three laying pullets would be great since my flock is also young, but wouldn't mind adding an older hen or two. Don't mind driving around western wa if the price is right

I'm determined to have 4 laying hens by spring 2018 (I'm planning on buying pullets after our last frost). My husband thinks it is more economical to buy a pre-fab rather than make one. I've read how disappointed most folks are with the budget-friendly prefabs, so I'm curious: Is it possible to...
Hello,
I have a 8 month old hen who is coughing (or something like that). She is wheezy when she is not coughing so it is a respiratory issue. There is no discharge from her nose, she is eating, and even laying! It has been about a week now.
I islolated her, and have given her tetracycline...
They are tame and friendly with humans and dogs but sometimes pick on submissive or younger chickens. So far they both lay 6-7 eggs per week, missing a day every other week.
I am super sad, I had to put down my lovely French splash Maran today because she wasn't moving (she was unable to stand up and I couldn't tell if it was a leg problem or what, at the time) and I found out she had ascites (I've never encountered this before, this is my first flock). Is it safe...
Hello, I am new here so first off I would like to say hello! I am Glad to have some chicken people like myself to talk to although I don't have the biggest flock I still enjoy raising hens and getting eggs. the ISO part is I am in the market for two Laying hens. each one a different breed and...
You could imagine how excited we were to see one of our chickens lay their first egg.. but that was three days ago and she has not laid one since.. should we be looking for anything or reason why she isn't laying anymore after her first?
Hi! I am new to this chicken world. A few of my cousins have chickens and I became very interested by them so I decided to get 2 Ameraucana chicks. This is my first time raising chickens and I am so excited! Any tips or helpful links please share I would love for all your help!
I have a 3 yr old barred rock hen that has been laying thin egg shells. I constantly give them all dried meal worms and oyster shells. She eats a lot of worms and I believe she eats the oyster shells that is in her food container. Any suggestions?
Hi everyone, I've gone through the checklist and am stumped on why my Red Sex Link suddenly stopped laying. She is free-range, and her sister lays an egg every morning, as she used to also. About a month ago, she stopped laying. I wormed the flock, checked for mites, searched for an outdoor...
I mix oyster shell in with the feed, I would like to know what everyone else uses or suggests... I don't believe my hens could be getting enough due to the fact I've experience some feather picking.
