They just turned 1 and they are both hens! They both lay daily:) Their pens holes are too small for their heads to go through.

No roos, just the two hens:)

Hi all!! I have 2 backyard easter eggers and an about a month ago I noticed Billie (pictured) started to lose some head feathers. I assumed she was molting as quite a few other feathers began to look frayed at the ends. However fast forward and here I am asking for advice! I do not believe she...

Here are the images! She has some feather missing under her beak on the one side also.

16% protein. They have free range about 50% of the day when I am home and they have treats/scratch to peck at all the time also.

Hi all! I have 2 Easter Eggers (I plan to get more soon) and they just turned a year old. I noticed one of my girls was starting to loose feathers around her face and on the top of her head. I have never actually seen her peck her, so I am 100% certain it is happening at night when they roost...

Hi ya'll I am in need of some advice as to what to do with my grain mite problem. I noticed them a few months ago in my feed bag, and at that point it was like a full infestation they were everywhere, even in my house! I threw all the feed away and sanatized and cleaned everything and then I...

Okay thank you so much! This has been very helpful! I forget they are still lil babies!

So you don’t think I should worry too much yet because she’s still young? It’s true the eggs I am getting from them are all still on the smaller size.

I got her in March of this year, so 6/7 months old? She is an Easter Egger.

It is! I try and check all the girls each night and I keep a close eye on her and it’s always normal. That’s why I’ve been so stumped😅I’m going to try that Calcium Citrate and see if that helps!!

I’ll try to get that stuff I’ve never heard of if before!! And no, my coop is all open layout and the feeder and 2 waters are easily accessible. I see her drink and eat regularly.

Hello y’all! I’m a little stumped on what else I should try with my hen that keeps laying soft shell eggs about every other day. She DOES lay normal eggs but then turns around the next day and lays a soft shell egg. I don’t want her to end up egg bound or worse…. I feed them the Red bag of...

thank you! this is their first time being really exposed to it. i’m hoping with time they will get less excited with it and ignore it.

it’s still normal if this is what they did for 3 hours? i’m just worried they might get sick. they do have full access to clean water with ACV, grit and feed! as well as some scratching treats.
