    Started laying, now NO EGGS!

    Two of our chickens began to lay eggs for the first time this spring. They were free ranging and laying consistently. Over the last few days 0 eggs! Today we kept them in their coop all day, still no eggs!! Is this normal to go three to four days without eggs?

    Aggressive Rooster?

    So, my grandmother has 5 hens and 1 rooster. The rooster has never been aggressive or anything but these past couple of months I’ve noticed him attacking one of the hens. I’ve seen her feathers all over the place and at first we though it’s just her molting but he continues to attack her and I’m...

    Salpingitis or not? Mystery condition

    I have four much-loved Girls but two-year old 'Cantona', who was an excellent layer, seems to have a problem with her poo, and a lack of eggs. Although she looks like an active, healthy hen, my first thought was Salpingitis, having lost a hen to it some years ago, but there's been no lash egg. I...

    Why the egg song but no eggs

    Hi, we have a flock of 12 re-homed RIR’s that are about 18 months old. They keep doing the egg song but when we go out to the coop there are no eggs. What’s going on? They are laying but not that often, we are based in the south of France, so temps are usually about 30 degrees during the day...

    New Flock Adoption = No Eggs

    We recently dove back into the Chicken life. A friend told us about 4 rescue Reds that needed help, so I purchased a coop and attached run - and they have fenced free range as well. They have great food, clean water every day, treats, shade - nesting boxes etc - all the right stuff. The first...

    Duck not laying and soft shells

    I have a slight issue one of my ducks is not laying and possibly responsible for some soft shells I have seen around the yard. I don't know who it is but they are on layer feed and have oyster shell in a separate food bowl. All of my ducks are around 2-3 years old and there is one drake for 3...

    Introducing new hens, established ladies stopped laying

    We have had 3 cinnamon queen hens for about 2 months that we were getting 1-2 eggs a day from for a while and when we introduced two new hens to the coop, we have had no eggs for about a week. Is it normal for them to stop laying because of this change or could something be eating our eggs? They...

    Eggsperiment

    So im doing an experiment. It is winter and my hens are not laying as many eggs by far. I have read up on using cayenne pepper in water for hens to help increase egg production. Some say it works, others say its an old wise tale. From what I read it takes 2 days to take effect. It will not hurt...

    Rhode Island Red White Tips

    Hello, as the title says, I have noticed 1 of our 4 chickens (Rhode Island Red, All Born 3/30/17) has white tips on her feathers at the top of her head and has some baby feathers loose as shown in the pictures. I feel this may be molting due to age and we haven't seen her go through it but the...

    Chickens Aren’t Laying, Roosters Aren’t Jumping

    So I’ve got a tricky situation that I’ve never heard of. We’ve had chickens for about 3 years and have dealt with all kinds of situations with them. Starting 2 months ago our chickens just stopped laying eggs. At first we thought they were molting but they just finished going through that and...

    No Eggs Yet? 9 months old

    Hoping for some advice, I have 5 chickens and no eggs. They're all 9 months or older and it just seems odd. I know some can take up to a year, I have a Brahma, Easter Egger, Ameracauna and 2 silkies. They do free range but I've checked the places they usually hang out and no eggs. The only...
