Keep her cooped and put decoy eggs in the boxes. She might want to lay where she thinks a clutch is forming.

Just want to say thanks to all that gave suggestions. I left Big Mama in the coop today until after 1 (she's been laying between 11am and 12:30 pm). I went in after 1 and she had layed in the nesting box! The egg was still warm when I got it!

Well, I took the plunge. I ordered four started pullets from McMurray hatchery. I don't exactly have buyers remorse but now I am second-guessing and a little scared. I like the idea of having chickens of different ages and this will make that happen. I will plan on getting two or three more baby chicks in the spring also. I know I'm going to have to work hard to integrate them all together but it will be nice when it is done.

Sorry you've been feeling sick.
You'd just better get yourself into a doctor.

Found out I had a bladder infection.
Antibiotics....felt much, much better.

I am celebrating !!!

YIPPEE !!
After a lifetime of weirdness...I have a diagnosis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I had read somewhere but then I had seen another post that said it's just a myth? So what is it? Tried and true? Luckily I haven't had to deal with worms yet... Knock on wood.

Here is the myth:

And for those who are a bit frail...LOOK AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING PICTURES OF POOP !!!!


















This is after I ormed the birds with Eprinex and again after 10 days, and that was about 2 weeks ago....just goes to show ya that variations of wormers, are the best way to go....that way, none get acclimated (build up an immunity) to the one wormer you are using.
