    Hen stopped laying eggs, its been over a week and a half...

    I have two layers right now, the rest are too young, one lays dark brown and one a lighter brown. I haven't gotten light brown eggs in over a week and a half. Hens seem healthy, eating and scratching. Nothing looks odd. Haven't found any secret nests. We did have two bad wind storms a week or so...

    All 4 hens stopped laying.

    They’re too young to be molting already, I think. They’re almost 7 months old. My boyfriend and I, the girl’s main caretakers, went on vacation for 4 days. My sister looked after them and said she didn’t collect a single egg while we were gone. Is it possible they were stressed that we left...

    IS THIS CURABLE???

    I am still kind of new to the chicken world. My first and my little baby girl Nugget (profile picture) has not pooped in awhile. Lost a lot of weight, lethargic, and it keeps getting worse as the weeks go on. I’ve kept her separate from the other chickens in my flock for two days now and when I...

    The Great Soft-shelled Egg Mystery ...

    For the past few months or so, I've had at least four girls experiencing egg issues. Three of them were laying soft-shelled eggs, or even expelling the inside of the egg while the shell only made it partway out (where I would have to pull the shell free). The fourth hen just stopped laying...

    Sick hen, paleness, lethargic and spot on tongue

    One of my year and a half old black sexlink hens is sick. There is definitely something going on but I’m not sure what. She has been a bit lethargic lately, but still eats and drinks and gets around fine. Her comb and wattles are pale, and when I looked inside her mouth she had a nasty red spot...

    Hen is Laying ‘Ghost Eggs’-Goes into nest box every day, no egg

    My 1 year old Buckeye Brownie was until recently my most reliable layer. She did lay a couple fart/fairy eggs in the last couple months, and then about two weeks ago stopped laying entirely. She doesn’t appear to be molting and is acting completely normal otherwise. Every morning she goes into...

    Is it possible my hens will no longer lay due to neighbors noisy dogs and an attack by said dogs 5 months back?

    About 5 months ago our downhill neighbors adopted a couple of dogs (large breed). They turned out to be escape artists and before the owners finally curtailed them, they had escaped and wandered up my property while I was out. I mistakenly left my hens unattended (never again!) as I thought a...

    White leghorn stopped laying

    Hi, I have a white leghorn which I bought as POL 2 month ago and she started laying roughly 3 weeks ago. She has laid almost everyday but this week she only laid one egg on Monday and stopped. I am not sure what could be the problem? Does White Leghorn in general lays during the dark season...

    Hen with a swollen face

    Hi everyone, My hen Ginny has had a swollen face on both sides for a few days, sometimes looking very pale. She's around 10 months old and we were assured she'd had all her vaccinations when we got her. She's had no change in diet since we got her. Recently the pen has been infested with red...

    I have a young Old English Orpington.

    My young Old English Orpington laid huge double yokers for about a week when she first started laying, then quit laying altogether. She has not laid an egg in almost three weeks. She seems happy and healthy. She is active and does not appear to be sick or in distress. I've kept her in the coop...

    Consistent layer stopped laying

    Hi there, I've had chickens for about a year now so I'm still a novice and am in need of your advice and wisdom! I live in an urban environment and so kept my flock to just 3 hens so far. In the past couple of months I have had a rash of illnesses. First I Iost a hen who was egg-bound, then...

    Cochin stopped laying! Too hot?

    Hello all! I have a Partridge Cochin, just shy of a year old! She was a good layer through her first winter and spring; smallish brown eggs but very consistent; always 6 or 7 a week. She did go broody in May and stopped laying, but we were able to isolate her and snap her out of it pretty...

    Stopped Laying

    One of my quails, the one that started laying second on May 30. So 3 weeks of laying and she just stopped. She hasn’t been laying for 3-4 days. We started putting play sand in the coop instead of aspen shavings, it’s way easier to clean this way and other people have used it in the past with...

    I can't figure out this Peruvian

    We bought a Peruvian hen from a friend a few weeks ago. We were told she is about a year old and has been laying well. At first she kept her distance from us and the other chickens. We've had her 2 weeks now and she's becoming more a part of the flock and social, but still wont let humans get...

    Both stopped laying eggs

    Hi all. We have a dark Brahma hen, and Partridge Cochin hen, and a dark Brahma rooster (the rooster has a bad leg so he is ok with them - does not over-mate, etc). They are all about 10 months old and have been laying for a few months, starting in the winter time with less than 14 hours of light...

    Broody or something else?

    Hello everyone! I have a 9 month old Partridge Cochin hen who recently has been acting strange. She’s our best egg layer; we’ve only had a few less eggs than the number of days since she has started laying. She’s been laying for about 3 months or so, and all of her eggs are super normal! We...

    Young hen stopped laying for a week and died

    I came home to find my 1 year old hen dead. She was a black star and has only been laying the last 3 months. She seemed healthy and normal. I knew one of my hens stopped laying for a week or so and out of the two I have that lay that color she was the one that would no longer do her submissive...

    Why I'm getting almost no eggs

    Hello! It's just about Fall now, and as expected, several of my older hens have begun their molt. However, with maybe 30 other hens that aren't really molting (or just minimally molting maybe), suddenly I'm getting only 5 eggs a day. To make the scenario clear, I have about 65 hens with 2...
