Might be coccidiosis, tractor supply sells medicine for this and it worked for me in the past. Until you can get that try to keep her warm, try, and at the very least drinking something

Although the cold definitely effects laying, it is the lack of light that has the most detrimental effect. It is odd she has not played in that long but wait until spring before getting rid of her.

Are there runs/houses dusty? It is not always a medical issue but a simple one like this! Even if it is not dusty I would recommend deep cleaning everything, changing the bedding and making sure they get as much outside time (as long as it's not dusty out!) as they can, and they sell pretty...

I think you should. When raised right they really are sweet animals and make the hens feel safer.

Great article!

I liked it when you noted your own experience! It is crazy you had a triple yoker!!!!! My only suggestion would be maybe to add a questions list of what the reader may want out of a breed. This will help them really get to thinking. Great job!

YES! That is another reason for runs but not hen houses I prefer wood chips.

Thankyou!

Hello has a decision been made?

For the run we use wood chips because they work great, and we put a ton down because we get them for free from a local tree service. we normally have a bunch sitting around at any given time. If not wood chips then straw or leaves but wood chips are no doubt the best.

@TudyBOT Is it true you can taste what your chickens eat? For example, if a chicken eats garlic will it's eggs taste like garlic?

@TudyBOT Why do some chickens lay brown eggs and some chickens lay white eggs?

Maybe vanilla (simple). Banana (also simple) Mallo (mallo cup) I also posted some other ideas before I saw these pictures!:)

For a black austorlorp or other black birds maybe licorice (black licorice) Maybe lychee, I found it on an exotic fruits list and love the idea of yelling “Lychee!”. Maybe taffy(salt water taffy) Or Laffy and Taffy! (Laffy Taffy)
