Thank you so much!!!!

Not a grape since we haven’t given them any. Could she have laid them at the same time? I’m not sure which hen it is but I checked them all after I found this egg anomaly and each one looks ok - eyes clear, fluffy bitts, no head twitching or stumbling. Do you think I should be too concerned...

My hens have started laying again, slowly but surely. I have five girls. Today I found three eggs in the nesting box plus this in the corner under the roosting area. Do you think this is one or two eggs? Excuse the messy corner

Thank you! Yes last winter the original three plus my new three were all pulleys so I didn’t notice a real drop in production. This year it looked like a pillow factory exploded in my yard! We are in Mississippi so don’t have the intense winter you have but I sure appreciate the information!!!!

I had three he a who were laying regularly. I added three more hens in mid September. I figured there would be some laying issues while the new hens got acclimated. Then it appears they all went into molt about the same time My egg count per month: august - 84 September - 41 October - 10...

My husband takes them down near our pond and buries them.

About every other day I toss out a scoop of cracked corn. Every morning I give them mealworms - both these snacks on this schedule for many months!

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m going to hope it’s just a one-off since I am supplying oyster shell and my hens free range in a fenced 2 acres every day. I appreciate your response!

My egg laying has been very consistent (4 hens, 3-4 eggs daily) for the past several weeks. Then two days ago, I had two eggs and yesterday, one egg. I went to the coop this morning and found this one. Up on the roosting area above the nesting boxes (my girls always lay in the nesting boxes)...

Lock them inside the building? These hens free range in a one acre fenced area all day. Is there something else to try other than locking them inside a building all day BBC and night?

So we repurposed an old shooting shack into a chicken coop. Our four hens were divided into two small prefab coops. I closed the two small coops and hoped they would go into the new coop. Nope! They lined up at their small coops waiting for me to let them in. I let them go into their old coops...

The shooting house has “windows” on three sides that I am going to put welded wire screen on so that will help. The windows have “flaps” that can be closed or opened. I think there is enough ventilation

I have four Cinnamon Queens that are about one year old. They are all laying fine. This is my first winter having chickens in Mississippi. We are transitioning the girls from a prefab coop to a repurposed shooting house (still in process of renovating it). I’m attaching a photo of it...

Thank you!!!!

I went in to check on the hen and she has passed away. I appreciate all your help with her and I learned a lot through this.

I got about 20cx of electrolyte water down her thanks so much for the photo. It worked well

Got it. I’m going to attempt now. Here is a picture oh today

Ok. How much at a time?

You have been such a big help to me on this - I truly appreciate you!

I think I can do this. What sort of food should I put in the syringe and how much at a time?
