Lana is a 2 yr old Easter Egger who lives with 4 other lovely ladies. She is great layer and has always been very active. 4 days an ago I notice a soft shelled egg under the roosting in the AM. Sometimes this happens so I didn’t think much about it. The next day I noticed she was standing on her...
I took everyone’s advice. I closed the window door and one side of the nesting area. Then went to work cleaning up the yard. My sweet little girl Vee followed me around the yard. She followed me to the nesting area. Everyone was in there spot. I feared her finally going to bed would start the...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I just feel like crap. They are like my emotional support animals! LOL It's a bummer when you spend so much time caring for them. I can honestly say she had a good life! She was a sweet and beautiful bird. Lesson learned. Take care and thank you.
Thanks for your response! Whey past away a short time ago. I feel awful. I watch the girls closely. If she was starving I don't know what to say. The only thing I can say is I'm sorry!! I spend so much time with them ( her) how can that be the cause?

My once sweet and docile 5 month old Black Australorp hen is now a ranging B!@#$%. My sweet girl has been acting so strange. I noticed she is constantly making noise. Not a pleasant chicken noise but a reputative chirp I guess is the right word? She also has lost interested in food, but she...
