Quick question to the chicken community: do any other chickens (besides mine) spend a lot of time standing up overnight? I have a camera in the coop (because I’m obsessed with them) and I can check them any time in the middle of the night and, inevitably, one or more are standing up. Does anyone...

Hi All, It is day ten and my EE, who started laying eggs on 2/11, is on day ten without laying. I really am getting concerned. We have plenty of sunlight, she’s not molting, and seems happy and healthy. She’s eating, and drinking, and pooping. But ten days without laying an egg after she laid...

Hello, Hoping someone here can help. My EE has been laying sing 2/11. She was a pretty consistent layer, 5-6 days on, 1 day off. She stopped laying 4 days ago. I have scoured the run and the coop-no eggs and no sign of eggs. I have a camera in there and can watch the nesting box. She’ll go...

Hi All, My EE laid her first eggs (one yesterday and one today) and I found them in a corner this evening. I had not been giving any of my girls oyster shells or laying feed because none of them have been laying. Now that Agatha is laying, I will try to feed her some oyster shell tomorrow...

Hi all, I’m new to raising chickens and I have a 21 week old silver laced Wyandotte pullet that has been sleepy all day, and her tail is droopy.I brought a bowl of fermented feed out and the other 4 rushed over and started gobbling. She always hung back, because she’s shy of humans or anything...

Hi, I have 5 pullets who are around 19 weeks old. For months they have excitedly exited the coop the second the pop door opens. Now they won’t leave the coop. About 5 days ago this area got around five inches of snow and extremely cold weather-they wouldn’t leave the coop the day it was...

Hi all, My chicks turn 11 weeks old tomorrow and just wanted to get some thoughts on whether I have all pullets or whether a rooster has slipped in. The one I’m most concerned about is the chick that was sold to me as an Ameraucana but is almost certainly an Easter egger. The first two pics are...

Hi all, I got my first chicks in September (they were hatched on 9/11) and I was planning on putting them out in the coop when they are seven weeks old but am now concerned that is too early because nights will likely be dropping down to low 40’s when they are seven weeks old. I do have...

Good Morning, I found blood in the stool of my three week old silver laced wyandotte this morning, and am freaking out a little bit. Do these look normal? I made an appointment to see the vet that sees chickens, about an hour away, but wasn’t sure if I am dealing with a real emergency. She’s...

Hi All, I got my baby chicks on September 16th, though they all were hatched purportedly around the 11th. I’m seeing a big difference in growth rates. My silver laced Wyandotte weighed in at 105 grams this morning, whereas my buff Orpington and my barred rock each weighed in at 69 grams. The...
