So I've had my chickens now a little over a year. I have 6 chickens and get between 4-6 eggs a day. Unfortunately, we can't eat their eggs right now-they are being treated for tapeworms (never realized chickens got tapeworms). 1 girl is broody and we are currently trying to break her of that-she...

Ok. She is also molting now too.

My EE seems to have stopped laying for Winter. She's the only one that has stopped laying. Anyone elses? Is this normal?

Our last chicken, Mary, started laying today. We have been averaging 3 eggs from 6 chickens the last couple of weeks. It seems our Easter Egger Lulu may have decided to stop laying for the winter. She hasn't laid in about two weeks. Is this okay? She is acting fine and I don't have any concerns...

Mary started laying today!!!! I now have all of my chickens laying. Although, our Easter Egger, Lulu, has not laid an egg in almost 2 weeks now. Do you think she is taking the winter off? We did just finish treatment for Coccidia as well. She seems fine and I don't notice anything strange about...

I have 6 chickens. The only one not pictured is a Buckeye, she was being camera shy.

I'm in Citrus Heights.

Hmm, they have had more treats than normal lately (melon and some chicken crack). Do you think that would cause them to pick on her? What would calf manna do?

She was hatched on April 10th, so about 6 months old.

Our Lulu (profile pic) is an easter egger and has puffy feathered cheeks. She's full grown now. I noticed today that one of her cheeks is missing its feathers. I have not seen any of the other chickens pick on her or any squabbles. Do you think the others could have pulled them out or could it...

We have 5 layers now. Our black australorp started laying. Now just waiting for our buckeye.

Still waiting for our black australorp and buckeye to lay. 4/6 chickens laying.

4 so far. That means one each from the chickens that are laying. Still waiting for our Black Australorp and Buckeye to start laying.

Our Welsummer, Clover, started laying two days ago. That means we now have 4 laying. We are still waiting for our Black Australorp and Buckeye to start laying.
