    4 hens not laying

    Hi all, my hens have all decided to stop laying. They have been wormed recently and don’t have any parasites. Their coop is fresh etc. The only thing is I have kept them in their coop instead of letting them out to free range to see if they were laying their eggs outside of the coop. I put a...

    How soon will she lay after a prolapse?

    So I dealt with my first prolapse a little over a week ago with my 11 month old jersey giant. I didn't think she would survive it honestly with the way she was acting but she has pulled thru amazingly well. I have her in a slightly dim room since, partially to give her recovery time and...

    Why doesn’t my female duck lay eggs AT ALL?

    What would make a female duck NOT lay eggs at all? She’s a Blue Swedish from a hatchery, exactly one year old. I’m 100% positive she is female, as she has laid 2 or 3 eggs her whole life. Hers are the only ones of my 4 ducks that are green and not white. All 4 of my ducks are happy, healthy...

    Help! 1 year old hen is balding and skin is yellow

    I have a 1 year old sapphire gem. While checking her over this morning I noticed she has no feathers on her crop and underside and her skin is bright yellow. I’ve never seen this before and I was wondering if I could get some insight! She’s eating and drinking normally, she seems to be acting...

    Bad breath, not pooping much, not laying

    I have a 4 year old bsl that hasn't laid in months. She moulted just as the days shortened and I didn't worry. A while back I noticed her sneezing and sometimes having a line of drool but it was winter, the others were fine, and she was always at the waterer when I saw this. Spring is...

    Not laying eggs

    Hello friends. I have a problem. My chickens are not laying eggs. I get about one egg every other day out of 20 hens. I have been giving them oyster shells, grit, protein in the form of meal worms. They have a clean coop, they have clean water, they are getting plenty of nutrients. None of them...

    Change of feed—ducks not laying well for 2 months

    Hello! I need some advice: 2 months ago my 8 ducks were laying on average 6 eggs a day. Well 2 months ago they went to 0-3 a day. Two things changed at that point: 1. their feed. We went from a basic layer feed to a whole grain non-GMO, soy free feed. I also started fermenting their feed. They...

    Chicken update/ x-ray for not laying and full crop

    So I wanted to share this photo as a word of warning to everyone who has a lot of backyard space with possibly things that could injure chickens. I had NO idea that chickens would eat tiny scraps of hardware cloth, and I thought i was pretty diligent about picking them up. Dahlia started off...

    Broody hen?

    It's cold outside and I have one hen that comes in and sits on the couch. She isn't laying any eggs. She has the same attitude she gets when she is broody. She goes out to poop then fights to get back into the house and to her spot. She is around 2 1/2 and the friendliest hen I have. I have only...

    Welsummer 11 months and not laying!

    So I bought several chicks from a hatchery in February of 2020. All of them have laid eggs (and stopped due to the shorter days.) Out of those chickens I had 2 welsummers, one had been laying eggs since at least September and the other STILL has yet to lay :( she is most definitely a hen. I...

    4/5 girls not laying

    I have 5 chickens. Only one gives me eggs. The other four have not given me eggs since August. I've changed their food quite a few times. They free-range so they get tons of bugs. They will be two years old in April. I was getting 1 from each (almost) everyday, and now nothing since August...

    Post Broody Hen Issues

    I have an Easter Egger that started brooding when she was six months old. She was regularly laying eggs. She was broody for about 3-4 weeks and has not laid an egg since. It has been almost three months without sign of her laying another egg. What do I do? Everything I have read says they should...

    Recurring crop impaction, pooing mostly watery urates- is this internal laying?? **poo pics inside**

    First off, thank you to everyone who read my posts about my previous health scares. Alfredo is now up and at ‘em again and even back to laying! This is Curry. Last dewormed with SafeGuard in the beginning of September. On October 20th I found her laying down out in the yard (not in a horrible...

    Droopy and lethargic chicken

    Mabel is super lethargic today and is looking pretty droopy. She didn’t greet me nor did she run for treats like usual. She laid a really soft egg a few days ago and hasn’t laid since. She’s about 25 weeks old and is usually sweet and outgoing. What could be wrong?

    My two Brahmas stopped laying!

    So, 7 months ago, I built a new coop, rat proof I might add! One of my Brahmas went psychotic on me and stoped laying! And she walks around grumbling now. 3 months ago, my 11-year-old Plymouth rock finally kicked the bucket and my other Brahma became depressed and she stopped laying! Is there...

    why hasn't my one year old duck layed an egg?

    hello guys, I'm quite new to here, but I've used to come here for various reasons quite a few times, but I have never found anyone talking about any type of duck not laying. Most of the time, the topics that cover this seem to be about ducks that are still too young to lay but never about a...

    Hen with dirty vent, mustard colour poos. Advice pls!

    First time chicken keeper, so please bear with me! :confused: I collected 3 rescue hens 5 days ago - so I am assuming they are around 18 months old. One of them clearly has a health problem, but I am not sure what it is. She appears to have no feather loss apart from her tail and around her...

    Hens have completely stopped laying

    I have a flock of 28 chickens. 2 roosters, 5 pullets, and 21 second year laying hens (mostly sexlinks, a few barred rocks). They were all laying perfectly until about 6 weeks ago. Egg production started steadily declining until it hit 8 eggs a day from 21 layers. We then bought oysters shells...

    Is this a EE or a "Starlight Green Egger"

    So I just got this chick about 12 weeks ago, and she and a bunch of others were marked as "Starlight Green Eggers" which I had never heard of, but they laying info seemed plentiful so we got one. Now I am wondering if technically she is an Easter Egger. She looks just like one to me. I don't...
