    Hello everyone, I have 35 chickens, 12 are ISA Browns which up until recently were laying quite well. They were housed with about 20 Easter Eggers that were older and coming to the end of their egg laying. In August we bought 50 chicks in a "deal" with TSC for .50 apiece. We gave the easter...

    Sick chicken?

    Hello! Today we have found our chicken Ash hiding underneath a tree sleeping where she is usually with the flock. She also usually hates being picked up and will flap her wings, run and yell, while today she stood still while we picked her up to examine her. She had some poop stuck to her vent...

    NO EGGS this winter in Nashville—a first!

    We have had a small flock of heavy-breed backyard hens for about five years. On October 11th, we lost our young Barred Rock, Millie, due to what appeared to be (after my amateur autopsy) internal laying. Since two weeks after her death, we have not gotten eggs from any of the remaining three...

    Chickens won't stop sitting on the nest. NEED HELP

    So, a bit of background for the past few weeks, when this problem started. With 8 chooks, and only 3 people in the family, we have plenty of eggs. So sometimes we go a couple of days without picking up the eggs from the coop. It's not normally a problem. If a chook starts sitting on them, they...

    Hey y'all, We have 4 hens. We live in Prescott AZ where it gets to be freezing at night and 50's - 60's during the day. They were free ranging around our yard most of the summer to keep them out of our fenced in garden. Once we pulled out the garden for winter, we moved the run from the coop to...

    Isa Brown not laying eggs

    I have one Isa Brown, she's a sweetheart. She hasn't missed a day of laying since spring. She's about a year and a half old. I noticed for several weeks that her eggs were looking a little different, some weren't totally colored, others were a bit wrinkled, and the yolks had little red spots. I...

    9 month old Ameraucana's not laying!

    Pics for reference. My girls were born in January. They free range a couple of hours a day, have access to plenty of food and water, and are happy friendly birds. Now, I know they may not even be ameraucana's, but this is late for any breed. One of my girl's combs just got a little bigger and...

    Bald bottom and stopped laying!

    Around October my 10 month old Marans based hybrid stopped laying. Despite being a hybrid that is supposed to lay through winter, I just put this down to a reduction in daylight hours and thought no more of it. She did lay two unexpected eggs last week, meanwhile my other girls have carried on...
