layer

Redd has been in her coop trying to lay I took her out for playtime and she went right back inside to attempt to lay again She’s tucking a fake egg under her BUT NOT LAYING

Hey all! So my sweet ancona laid her first egg yesterday! We didn't get one today, how often should we expect to get eggs from her? One of our ducks is laying daily so we're a little spoiled.

We love our ladies, but we are blessed to be having a second child and it's turned out to be too much work for us to handle our next transition! Beautiful hens, healthy, all good layers, fed all organic feed since we raised them from chicks. Pickup or delivery if you're close. We live just...

I picked up this duck and picked her out of a huge group of about 50. There were runners, muscovy, khaki Campbell's, and gold 300's in their flock. She guessed it was a cross of a 300 and a khaki. What do you guys think? https://imgur.com/a/PLRlxvI

Hey, My 2years old pekin,cookie , is having a hard time. Normally she lays an egg everyday and the eggs are healthy and fine but since a month ago her eggs have a very soft eggs and she laid in unusual places and times(in the middle of the day when they were out playing) which usually my other...

I have made an android for people who raise layers for egg production. Please download and give me a feedback to improve the app. The is simple to use, you just enter flock age in weeks and how many birds you have and it will give valuable information such as how much feed, water mortality is...

Hi, I'm wondering what breed/color of roo would be needed to obtain blue color chicks from a black sex link hen. Is this even possible???? I love my black sex links but because they are hybrids I would love to develop my own line that lays well, is a good forager, meatier (would like to use...

What do these dots mean on my eggs? You can scrape them off.

I'm getting chickens soon, and would like some friendly good laying breeds to raise. I'm currently looking at EEs, SLW, Faverolles and Welsummers! I would prefer non-broody breeds (So no Orps!) Any tips will also be appreciated!

Hello, We have three types of chickens: Ameracauanas, Cochins and Wyandottes. We are getting eggs only from 2-3 of the chickens so far. We're sure it's at least two because we have green eggs and brown eggs, and we think we know which 3 chickens are laying. Anyway, the questions here are: 1. We...

My name is Homer and I have 4 Guineas and 5 hens that are mixed breed 5 months old. I also have one rooster that appears to be RIR. I have 6 younger hens that are 2 Amber Links, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 Wyndottes. We live in Southeastern Michigan. I have raised meat chickens several times as...

I have hens and rooster, i recently got a very nice pretty rooster and my other rooster keeps picking at his tail feathers so he is looking really rough right now. I have only fed layer feed but starting to wonder if I can just mix my feeds, for example I would like to mix in some feather fixer...

I have a bit of a dilemma and I could use your advice. I've had Cayuga and Pekin in the past, both great layers but not brooding so it was easy to just scoop the eggs. Now I have two Muscovy. We were unsure of either sex but assumed the bigger to be male and the smaller female. Well, the bigger...

I'm looking for a reputable breeder to purchase 2 Olive Egger, a dark egg producing Marans, and either an Isbar or a blue EE HEN hatchlings. I'm only looking for layers. So far, I haven't had much luck thru Google or Craigslist. Local would be better but I may pay to ship if they have what I'm...

I've got a leghorn and three road island reds. Very young, not quite six months old. I get four eggs a day. Four chickens, four eggs. Everything seemed normal. Today, after collecting eggs, I thought I'd continue spoiling my little feathered friends with crickets and mealworms. One of the RIRs...

I am hearing conflicting opinion over this, so would love to know what anyone thinks. I just bought a 50lb sack of Modesto Organic Chick Starter for my 3 chicks. It's 22% protein and the instructions on the sack say to feed up to 9 weeks. When I told the feed store lady that I would never use...

Hello, My name is Jen and my family has 6 chickens. We have had chickens for years, but just recently decided to add more to our coop. We like sharing eggs with our family and friends. We recently acquired 2 young chickens that are due to start laying in September. Unfortunately, shortly after...

Up for grabs is my previous Turken Project (see below for more info) x Polish. I am offering these at a discount at this time so people can have the opportunity to enjoy these extra weirdo chickens before I set prices next year. Price: $30 per doz (plus extras) My polish colors...

I'm getting two Mille d'Uccles that are 5 weeks old. Within a week I'll be getting two Serama hens that are a year old. I plan on keeping them together once the d'Uccles are old enough, but don't know what to feed them all once they're together! I want them as pets only, and eggs don't matter...

I am on my second flock and have not had good luck with them laying "throughout their lives." My first flock layed well until they were about 18 months old and then stopped completely. The current flock only layed for about 9 months and stopped. They started up again after about 7 months...
