Thank you for all the good info. I was planning on just watching and waiting. here's a photo of the egg she dropped into my hand. No shell just membrane.

Update on my pullet Daisy. She laid three eggs yesterday. One was normal and then the other two were shell-less. That poor thing. I was hoping that she would not try to lay today but she is currently setting. I will keep her safe and happy but I fear that she will not have a very long life.

I am feeding them a grower feed but it has been blended recently with a layer feed. Can't remember the percentage off hand. I have only had one chicken that was egg bound but that was years ago. My other hen that laid early was a Black Star and died in October from reproductive organ cancer. She...

I have a 14 week old pullet that has started laying eggs. I confirmed her hatch date with the person that I got her from. My question is, is early laying a sign of anything bad happening with my pullet? She is a blue layer pack chicken and had laid two light blue eggs.

I have a black sexlink that is three years old and still lays almost every day big beautiful brown eggs. She loves to sit on my lap and is a pretty quiet chicken. She also get along really well with my Buff Orpington and Bielefelder.

The one time that she was in contact with them she pounced on the...

I had a hen drop dead of sudden chicken death syndrome. She seemed perfectly healthy, She laid her morning egg and then I found her quite dead with no injuries on her. So sorry you had to go through that.

Something similar happened to us and a camera was installed the next day!!

I got two new pullets that are 11 and 12 weeks old. My four older hens are all two years old. The hen that is at the bottom of the pecking order is really wanting to kill the pullets. The other three hens are totally fine around the little ones but the Bielefelder who is at the bottom is just...

My girls are almost two years old and still preen each other. It is very sweet!!

My girls do not like raw pumpkins. I roasted one and scooped out the soft meat and they love that!!!! They also do not like cabbage or strawberries. They do LOVE blue berries and devour our bushes. they also love mushrooms which I am not sure if other hens like.

Does anyone know if Cosmos are safe for chickens? I can not seem to find any info about that particular plant. Thanks.

Thank you guys for your input. I am less inclined to worry now.
