    Is this a EE or a "Starlight Green Egger"

    So I just got this chick about 12 weeks ago, and she and a bunch of others were marked as "Starlight Green Eggers" which I had never heard of, but they laying info seemed plentiful so we got one. Now I am wondering if technically she is an Easter Egger. She looks just like one to me. I don't...

    Weird Hens

    Hi! New here! I currently own 4 EE's and 2 red sex links. My EE's are a blast and are pretty regular layers, only about 8 months old. However, about a week ago I got 13 month old red sex links. The guy I bought them from was real weird, he bought about 400 hens from some egg producers in South...

    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...

    Empty crop and white eye

    I am worried about one of my hens, she is approximately a year old and a salmon faverolle. Today when I went in to inspect the coup it was dark out and I noticed the light reflect off of one of her eyes. Her entire pupil is white, a perfect circle but only in the light. Without it directly...

    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...

    Duds?

    I have 2 black jersey giants and 2 Ameraucana pullets, all 8 months old. None are laying yet. I know the bjg take longer to mature but what’s up with the Ameraucana? I’m in coastal SC so it’s still warm here (highs around 70 lows in the upper 50s). I’m stubborn and refuse to buy eggs.

    Chickens on strike... for four months?!?

    So, like many people, I was SURE this would resolve on its own, but alas... my five girls, of varying ages of eight months to seven years, all stopped laying suddenly in June when we had a heat wave. Our Silkie went broodie for two months, then popped up all she always does and lays every...

    Wellsummer walking funny, not laying

    My 1 1/2 yo Wellsummer hasn’t been laying for around a week, and yesterday when I let the chickens out I noticed she was waddling funny. I checked and she’s not egg-bound but that whole area looks red and inflamed. Any ideas?

    My quail have not been laying why?

    All of My quail have not been laying for a while and they used to lay every day but now they don’t and I am confused, they are all under a year old so they should still be laying. Is this normal for them to not be laying during this time of the year? What could be wrong with them?
