    Jersey Giant eggs

    So a few days ago my 6 month JG laid her first egg. As you can see it’s very cracked, and had a soft shell, but I’m pretty sure that’s normal for her first. (Or maybe she stood on it, she is pretty fat!) Here’s the second one, ithad weird spots on the top, and a weird ‘lump’ on the side. Better...

    Comb turning black, diarrhea, etc.

    Hello. I'm new to BYC, but I've been lurking for a while trying to find what direction in which to go. To begin with, I have 8 Ameracauna hens and an Ameracauna rooster. I hatched all from eggs, except 1 hen (the mother or aunt to the rest) therefore I know they don't have hatchery...

    hi community, Our hen used to be a productive layer. But after laying a soft-shelled egg a few months back, she hasn’t laid an egg since. However she is still making lots of noises in the morning and going in and out of the nesting box as if she is about to lay. She appears to be in good...

    We recently got 4 new laying hens to add to our flock, from a local farmer who was selling them. By the first two weeks, three out of four were laying. The fourth (Angel, an Ameraucana), had only laid one soft egg, so we just assumed she was too old to lay, and that it would go away. But 2 more...

    Diagnosis Help Needed

    I went out to check food and water this morning and AmiJo, one of my top hens, was dead in the run near the fence. I have checked her for predator damage and have found none. I admit that a few other things have been going on lately that have caused temporary changes but given the odd mix of...
