ALABAMA!!

I had my first predator loss today; I guess I've been lucky to have made it over a year without any casualties. My EE, Ethel, put up a good fight, from the looks of things. :( I'm pretty sure it was a hawk. Sigh. She was a great little layer, too, of baby blue eggs. I guess I don't need to reduce my flock numbers, after all. The girls will be on lockdown for a few days; they probably won't be very happy about that, but hopefully it will be enough to encourage the predator to move on to easier hunting grounds.

I have a dual purpose flock for that reason: eggs and table. Come Spring time I will be looking for some Barred Rock hens, pullets, chicks or eggs....Perhaps we can talk in a couple of months. I am a little north of you but that might be a good excuse to go to the beach....
 
Okay so I have a question.... My Japanese Bantam hen was broody on eggs and she raised them and it has been about 4-5 months since she has laid an egg still nothing. I have tried oyster shells, non GMO feed, and many other things but still no egg yet. Does anyone know why she is not laying? She is about 2 1/2 - 3 years old now.
 
Here’s a sure sign than the days are finally getting longer! 3 of my 4 pullets who hatched in June are in full production. :wee
