Hello, and welcome to BYC. If they are laying, they may stop after a couple of days. Eggs that will be laid are already 'in process'. Chickens hate change so they may take a couple of weeks to adjust before resuming egg production.

What is your goal?

Mom had her sayings. "Getting old is not a sin, but acting old is." One that now strikes home "Getting old - not for sissies." Pain is not my friend. The worst ageing part: "So many that you care for are already gone." Melancholy day. Tomorrow will be better. Sunshine lifts spirits.

Rotisserie chicken, baked potatoes, chilled shrimp, and cucumber salad for the Princess.

:( All three of our goldens died with cancer. I had one beagle with lymphoma, and he maintained good quality of life on Prednisone for six months after diagnosis. I wish you luck with Elliot.

Warm him up, and if/when he becomes mobile return him to the mother.

It's male specific feathering along with pointy hackle and saddle feathers. Really too early to tell on your chick.

That's not too bad right now, but sometimes it will become progressively worse. Monitor her for deterioration.

cockerel :oops: :welcome

Sounds as if they are broody.

They should be fine. Hens are constantly shuffling/moving eggs.

Wonder if anyone still plays marbles? I believe some of them are mine.

Welcome to BYC. Birds appear to be in good condition. I would guess that they will lay again at a reduced rate.
