Three.Curiously, how many vets have refused to give one of your chickens an implant?
Same bird or different birds? Were they young and healthy or were they sick?Three.
Could not agree more! They are forced to lay so many eggs when it's so unnatural for them. I wouldn't mind if they laid every few days because I enjoyed the eggs but there's no need for them to lay every single day for me. But that's just my opinionHealthy birds who eventually became unhealthy after 5 to 7 years of life. Could not get them implanted when they were young. Could not get them implanted when they started to have problems but... it's already a bit too late at that point as ovarian cancer had already set in. Even when they were "healthy" I'd argue they were not. Pumping out eggs every 25 hours. That's unhealthy. We bred them to do that. Jungle fowl would not. One girl in particular would complain for over an hour about the pain of laying an egg. I felt so bad for her. I wish I could make the eggs go away. I got particularly offended when neighbors would innocently ask "are they for eggs?" The correct answer is "no" but if I say that their mind immediately jumps to "for meat." They are for companionship. Does your dog give your eggs?
Thank you Pampered chicken girl. Maybe someday breeders will start selectively breeding to lay less number of eggs. Right now they won't because there is not demand but maybe soon there will be with more people like you and I.Could not agree more!

Exactly, i am one of those few people that just love having the chickens around for pets! They lay eggs and I accept them because if they are going to do all that work I might as well enjoy them but if they stopped laying or slowed down I would not be upsetThank you Pampered chicken girl.

The drug seems like a good way to help birds today if it was more widely accepted and easier to come by.
Wow, that's awesome!!My family was so moved with this topic, and feeling powerless, that we launched a tofu scramble seasoning to replace eggs.
Maybe you could find an avian vet that uses them on a regular basis? I know that all three Avian vet clinics in my area will implant them.Healthy birds who eventually became unhealthy after 5 to 7 years of life. Could not get them implanted when they were young.
Many such chickens already exist. If you want chickens that lay fewer eggs, just buy suitable breeds.Maybe someday breeders will start selectively breeding to lay less number of eggs. Right now they won't because there is not demand but maybe soon there will be with more people like you and I.
What breeds were they?Healthy birds who eventually became unhealthy after 5 to 7 years of life.
