    Something’s wrong- First symptom: no eggs

    I have a hen who is acting sick - puffy, lethargic, etc. But, she has some notable symptoms: I recently realized she is the only one who is not laying.

    Chicken is a freeloader!

    I don't really mind that she's a freeloader, she's beautiful, but when can I expect her to start laying again? A few factors: She's a Brahma x Buff Orpington. We had her at a few months old in Spring. She laid around 15 eggs and became broody. We let her hatch out chicks late July. After the...

    All duck eggs gone. What happened?

    I have a young duck that created a nest for the first time. She built an amazing nest and sat on it faithfully only leaving once a day to eat and drink. Over the last few days she has smashed an egg every time she’s left the nest. The last couple had embryos in them. We had estimated she laid...

    Our OG layers were born last August (7 of them), so they are now just over a year old. Two months ago we picked up a turkey and a silkie. They integrated well into the flock. We picked up more layers at a swap a month ago (7 new-to-us hens, within laying age). In addition, we picked up...

    Ducks and Chickens stopped laying?

    Hi all! So, my runners and chickens started to lay again back in late January/early February, but it's been a week now with no eggs and I'm worried in case there's something wrong. They are all eating well, drinking fine and acting perfectly normal. We have had some snow this week and I thought...

    Who here isn't getting eggs?

    My chickens and ducks quit laying eggs early summer of 2022, but they were under stress, molting, and on a cheap feed. So I didn't think anything of it. For months now they've all been in new spacious pens, on a layer diet, they're all young and they are all in good health. I've had no predator...

    My polish chicken is almost one and she hasn't laid an egg?

    Our beloved (sort of psychotic--ha!) Polish hen, Pierogi, is almost one year old and hasn't laid a single egg. Our other ladies, born the same day, have been laying for months now. Pierogi has rooster tendencies (a bit aggressive, will try and attack anything that comes near the coop) but is...

    What’s wrong with my Hen?????

    Hi my hen is a Rhode Island Red and is only just over a year old. Yesterday she stood around the garden and wouldn’t move but I didn’t think much of it. She usually has a problem laying every so often because she lays double yolks and is always fine. But today was worse. She has stood in the...
