    Female or male

    Hello! How hard is it to tell female vs male in a silkie? I have two silkies, they hatched may 11. I am just wondering if they should be laying by now or not if they are female. I’ve included a picture of my Naked neck, Ms. Frizzle😍

    Silkie started to lay at 5 months old!

    I have two a little older than 5 months old silkies, one of which has started to lay. (2 months early!) Today my dad could not find Dusty and so we started to look in the run and coop. I found her in the corner a little cozy quiet spot in the coop and picked her up. I was extremely surprised...

I live in Oregon, we have been having forest fires lately, we haven’t been near any but the smoke got pretty bad. (I don’t know if that could help you but I said it anyways) ( it’s also been...

    Ameraucana Egg Laying “Schedule”?

    Ok so my chickens are a couple weeks overdue according to the usual 6 months egg laying age. There’s only one girl with a less predominant waddle but all their waddles are bright red. I have provided them oyster shell grit, regular grit, and egg laying feed. They aren’t hanging in a specific...

    Old chickens or stressed chickens?

    We inherited 4 chickens from our landlord last November. He claimed they were about 3y.o. We were never told what type but it looks like we started with 2 Rhode Island reds, possibly a Dominique and a Crevecoeur (except the others have pecked her head bald, prior to us receiving her). One of the...

    New pullet laying multiple soft eggs a day

    This forum has been invaluable. I have used it so frequently. But now I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to. Have a back yard flock of 6 pullets. Two at 21 weeks, two at 20 weeks, one at 17 weeks, and one at 15 weeks. I let them out of the coop/run for a few hours a day. One of...

    Rescued hen not laying

    Hi all! About a month ago, I rescued a d’Uccle Mille Fleurs hen that had somehow gotten into a neighbors back orchard. She looks fairly young, certainly not too old to lay, but she has yet to lay any eggs. Does anyone more familiar with the breed have any tips on encouraging laying?

    Is our hen about to start laying or is there something else going on?

    On our farm we have 6 chickens, 2 of them are Bantam roosters, 2 are Rhode Island Red hens and the other 2 are Buckeye hens. They are right around that 4 month old mark. Our two roosters are showing the normal behaviors of roosters; the over protectiveness, the swelling of their chest and of...

    My hen has been pacing back and forth in the run for hours, and has not laid an egg yet even though it's 11:17 am!

    Could anyone tell me why my hen Bertha is pacing and squawking loudly? And why she hasn't laid an egg yet (she usually lays much earlier)? Thanks in advance.

    Oyster shells with feed

    Hey y’all...I’m pretty sure I had an egg laid without a shell today. I’m not sure if that’s possible...but it looked like there might have been a yolk in there somewhere. But was just a wad of “something”. Anyway...my chickens are still on grower as they just turned 18 weeks and I only have 2 of...

    why hasn't my one year old duck layed an egg?

    hello guys, I'm quite new to here, but I've used to come here for various reasons quite a few times, but I have never found anyone talking about any type of duck not laying. Most of the time, the topics that cover this seem to be about ducks that are still too young to lay but never about a...

    Hen lays on coop floor some mornings

    One hen, I'm not sure who, will lay an egg from the roost. Obviously then falls and gets smashed, usually none of them pay attention to it and I clean it up. But at 5:55am it was still dark. By time I could get out to open the coop it was 6:30. They went it at 9pm last night. This just started...

    Silver duckwing Bantam daily layer

    my pullets became hens three weeks ago. My flock is 3 WLH, 3 SxL-C, 3 SxL-BC, 1 SB-Bntm and a SDW-Bntm. I have consistently gotten a cream peewee egg every day from my SDW bantam hen. I am concerned because her breed is not a heavy layer from what I've been reading. I have them on leyena pro...

    Blue Swedish laying eggs

    Hi, My blue Swedish female duck has layed one egg everyday for the last 23 days. Is that normal? Are they just really good layers or is it just my duck? I read on line that blue Swedish lay between 100-180 eggs a year. I think she’s layed at least 75 eggs in the last 3 months. I was just...
