How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I love the ISA Brown hens. They are great egg layers. But I am convinced they have a life of only 2 winters where I live. I have to retire (freezer camp) them before their third winter. If not, they just find ways to die anyway.
They live a good life and die quickly & painlessly, that is all one can hope for.
I did rehome my rooster to a animals rescued, I took him back a month later & found out he was very sick due to lack of care. Long story short, I had him euthanized. My Isa Brown hens suffered through their reproductive ill health, so I learned to love them with the time I have with them, and give them a quick and painless dead. I still not able to do the deed myself, the Vet still the place.
 
Your girls are beautiful. They are like my 2 Isa Brown hens, production layers. They lay eggs every day and reproductive issues is their main health issue. Prolapse, internal laying, egg binding, softshelf egg, ovarian cancer..etc. My first 5 Isa Brown died from those issues. I promise myself not to get anymore Isa Brown, but I love them very much, they have so much personality and so smart so I still have 2. 1 of them had implant, the other one....I am yet to decide, but watch her with hawk eye.
Thank U yea they really are funny ISA browns if I leave my back door open they let thereselfs in mosey on over to my American akitas bowl n help emselfs to her water bowl and biscuits (well try to but can't ever fit them in there mouths luckily haha) n all the time infront of my akita n she just looks at me all shocked n violated haha 😆 she is so good with my chickens tho tbo almost seems like she knows she needs to be there guardian n that there part of her pack.. she literally lets em come up to her n pec her on her nose n paws etc lol I have 4 ISA browns now did have 5 before one of there prolapses killed em, 3 what I believe to be golden comets or some kind of gold line also layin every day, and 2 Columbian blacktails also layin every day now all are funny little characters but the isa's are proper bold n fearless haha deffo rule the roost here lol 😆 😂 the isa's love a loud bloody egg song at least 5 times a day almost as loud as what I've seen roosters be lol, the goldens love doin some weird posh slow n quiet n passionate "burak" like yr partner whispering in yr ear 🤔🤷‍♂️😆😂 or join in squawkin with the blacktails or with the one smallest isa that loves to squawk too lol.. n the black tails just squawk like sea gulls or sound like donkeys or somthin ffs hahahha more like a honk squawk sorta thing like a honking horn sorta sound actually funny n sometimes annoying lol🤷‍♂️😆😂

Exactly! They are fearless and inquisitive. They talk a lot too, whenever I let them out in the general garden to play and if I am not there they will all walk up the stair look inside the screen door for me. When I am in the garden with them, especially when I walk about with the shovel, they know I will dig up the ground and worms. The shovel touches the ground, they all jump on it and I have not dig yet. I love Isa Brown.

Egg production is a guarantee every day!!! I always check that there is an egg because when there isn't, from my experience egg bound, internal laying..that the egg york is dripping and piece of eggshell hanging from the vent.

1 of my Isa Brown name is "Big Mouth", she really is very loud, as you already know they are louder than rooster. She screams so loud and also none stop until we come down to address whatever that is she wanted. Once I get there, she run over to me, so smart.

Most of the backyard chickens here are Isa Brown, I can hear my neighbours' hens are singing egg songs from far distant.

:wee

the thing is with me tho, is I'm renting a mobile home out on a Irish gypsy site full of mobile homes right close together with them in my coop n run i built in my tiny back garden directly behind my niebors mobile.. so i have to constantly go out n plead with em to shut up, bribe em to shut up with treats, or if all else fails literally go out there n be firm n tell em all To shut the f up! 😳🤣🙈 Which surprisingly works most the time lol So I don't p my niebors off haha 😆 (I also bribed all the neibors with free eggs today seeing as I had 40 somthin just laying around so at least that keeps us all on good terms hahaha 😉😉😏🤣) I might as well just get a rooster now it's not like there's already not loads of noise from all these female hooligans giving it the biggen everyday now there "big girls now" 🙄🙈🤣
