She was 2 years old. She was so healthy, I have no idea what it could have been.

I found my chicken Ginger dead this morning. She was curled up on her side half underneath the hanging waterer. Her mouth was dripping with a brown liquid and a string of brownish mucous. She was perfectly fine yesterday. I don’t have any idea what happened. I could’ve sworn that yesterday she...

Chardonnay was too. The good die young.

I'm sorry. She looks so young, but she's in a better place. I like to think that they're all together, digging for worms, eating pumpkins 😢🥲

This morning I walked into the coop to find poor Chardonnay frozen solid. She was in the corner of the coop with her head tucked away, and looked as if she was sleeping. She is in a way, just permanently. It was 30 below zero last night, and she hadn’t been on the roost when I checked them. I...

Thanks for the advice! I guess I’ll have to have all my heaters on high for a while, but it’s worth it for the girls’ well-being.

I have three wonderful barred rocks. They’re mostly friendly and steady layers.

We have three heaters in our coop, it just gets really cold where we live.

I don’t know the exact temperatures, but the basement is around 40 degrees and the coop is about 25-ish. She’s been inside for 1 1/2 days.

I have one chicken, Gigi, who is molting late. She was doing okay until a few days ago when I saw her crouching on the roost looking awful. She looked skinnier than normal and her crop was empty, so I decided to check on her again in the morning. When I got there she was in a corner crouching...

How long have they been laying? It’ll take them a couple months to start ovulating more regularly and work out any kinks they may have. Until then, you may get some unusual eggs.

I’ve put oyster shells in the coop, but they never eat them.

I picked her up and this fell out

Recently my hen Esperanza’s been acting weird. She’s been a little puffed-up lately, but I haven’t paid any mind until this morning when I saw her standing in the corner of the run with her head tucked into her neck and her eyes closed. She just stood there and didn’t move, so I brought her...

Oops! A little too late :/

This is what we got!

We have been getting eggs like this lately

This morning, one of my hens layed this monstrosity of and egg:It weighs over 119 grams and is just over three inches long. All of our hens are about one and a half years old. I thought I’d post about this to see if any of y’all had any thoughts

Now that you mention it, she has started to sit on top of the nest boxes after a recent shift in the pecking order. Could this have something to do with it? And should it be addressed?
