UPDATE: As of January 12, 2024, this hen has FINALLY started laying. I found her medium-sized light blue egg in the nest box. She is nearly 10 months old. Pretty crazy how long it took her.
She’s not friendly anymore so I don’t think I’m gonna check her butt. Think I’ll just wait it out until the spring to see if she starts laying.
Thanks!
Hi there. I have an Easter egger mix who was born around April of this year (2023) who has never laid an egg. In June/July I integrated her in to my flock of three hens who were born together in February of this year. Those three all started laying around 18-20 weeks.
I know exactly which eggs...
Thank you. I have ordered the vetricyn spray from TSC. I uncovered the wound. I sprayed with colloidal silver this morning.
She is calm in the dog crate. When I went to check on her this morning she was eating her food from the bowl. I’m not sure if she’s drank much so I am going to monitor this...
Yeah, I’m not doing the wrap anymore. The tape seems to be keeping it covered. I’m gonna take it off this morning and try to clean again. I don’t have antibiotics. I think I’m going to try a colloidal silver spray. And keep gauze taped on until it scabs.
My hen jumped the fence and got injured by a big dog. Her whole back is ripped up. Picture here.
She’s a 16 week old australorp.
I have cleaned the wound with peroxide and put some Manuka honey as antiseptic and covered with gauze. I tried wrapping with an ace bandage but she kept getting it...
My friend and I are trying to figure out if we got extra roosters because these barnyard mixes of the same age have different features. The one obvious rooster in her bunch is big comb, big wattle, big crow. But some of these other ones are looking suspect.
What do you think about this grey one...
I do not know what kind of chicken this is. Please help. It’s small and a cream color with tan on its wings and back. I would describe the feathers as kind of lacy. It is more timid then the other chickens but very sweet and the easiest to hold. This chicken is much smaller compared to my others...
