    If not egg bound, then what?

    Unfortunately, she didn’t make it. She passed over night.

    Thank you so much for the help. And this may be a silly question….. but IS there a cure?

    If not egg bound, then what?

    She’s just over a year and a half. She usually lays but, along with half our flock, has been going through a molt. She has had labored breathing off and on. I want to say I gave her 200 MG as the bottle says the serving size is two tablets and the amount per serving is 400 MG. I gave her one...

    If not egg bound, then what?

    She’s struggling to stand now and keeps falling over onto her side. But she’s still trying to eat and drink.

    Her belly doesn’t feel enlarged. Just this area around her vent.

    If not egg bound, then what?

    Hi. I’m kinda at a loss. I’ve been reading through the different posts about egg bound hens and I’m not finding any that match EXACTLY what our hen is going through. Every day we let our girls out to free range unless it’s raining or snowing. We feed them chick starter with a bunch of other...

    Paper thin shells

    So, this is a two fold problem. First, we were noticing, out of no where, one of our girls was laying a paper thin egg and that the yolk and whites would either disappear or be found in the nesting boxes. And at least once a day, we would find eggs with peck holes in them. This evening, I saw...

    Curious breeding questions

    I can’t tell you how excited I was to read this. I’ve been trying to research the different feathering and I was telling my husband, a couple months ago, that I thought she may be splash. To read what you said meant that I have been retaining some information correctly! I’m so stinking happy...

    Curious breeding questions

    I am DROOLING over your knowledge. This is so exciting for me to learn. And you are explaining in a way that I’m understanding. I’ve been reading a ton of posts and most are not going in depth OR they are going too in depth ie leaving it at zZ zW (or something to that effect). You taking the...

    Curious breeding questions

    I understood all of this! Thank you. It’s kinda disappointing that basically all possible outcomes from our BR roo would throw black. Not that we are breeding, but still. 😑 We didn’t end up with a lot of different variants when it comes to our EE girls. A couple black, a couple white, a couple...

    Curious breeding questions

    I’m just curious…. we have a barred rock rooster (and a recently discovered EE rooster). Along with our roosters we have EE hens, lavender Orpingtons, jubilee Orpingtons, cream legbars, Swedish flower, and salmon faveroles. Since it is a possibility that we may end Up with babies one day, I’m...

    Could this be a rooster?

    That’s good to know. Really don’t want “game birds” associated with us and our property.

    Could this be a rooster?

    Sort of.… we recently removed the older rooster because he was trying to mate with the younger hens, and we didn’t want him to kill them (We lost most of our flock to a dog attack and Purchased some more chicks back in October) So he’s been an indoor rooster for the last 2 weeks. but they were...

    Could this be a rooster?

    😂 thank you to everyone. Y’all responded so quickly. Now my next question….. we have close to 40 hens…. That should be plenty for 2 roosters….. right? The two boys should be fine in the same coop….right? Hopefully…. 😆

    Could this be a rooster?

    So a few weeks back, our septic guy came over and he asked my husband “where’d you get the game bird?” My husband asked what he was talking about and the septic guy pointed to one of our chickens and asked where we got the fighting rooster from. Now, we purchased our chicks from a couple...
