    15 hens… 2 eggs?

    I have 15 hens and only get two eggs a day. There is no where for them to have a secret nest. What should I do to increase egg production. We usually get more eggs in the winter compared to now which is concerning. Also most of the hens are only 2 years old. There are some younger.

    Will chickens stop laying eggs if their coupe gets too full?

    I was recently told that the owners of the chickens I am caring for would start grabbing their own eggs and I didn’t have to myself. I noticed after there were about 80 eggs in the coupe the laying seemed to stop. With so many, I decided to just get them myself again and all of a sudden the hens...

    Ask FDA to approve implants for chickens to prevent egg production

    Do you have a chicken under your wing who is having difficulties due to egg production? Perhaps a prolapsed vent? Don't want a relapse? Don't care that she makes eggs or not so long as she is happy and healthy? There's a drug for that, but it's illegal in the USA to use for chickens, let's...

    My 2 year old hens have all of the sudden stopped laying eggs, they have never done this before. I live in Mississippi and the temperatures have been around 100° lately...could that be a factor in them laying eggs? I do keep them watered and they have plenty of shade.

    Odd Yolk?

    Cracked one of our newest pullets egg this morning. The egg had two yolks. The one on the left appeared normal but the one on the right had a different appearance I’ve never seen before. Any ideas? Is it safe to eat? She has only been laying for maybe two weeks.
