One of my less winsome chickens has gone broody again.  Again!!  2nd time in 6 months.  She's killing the egg production around here, we only have 3 hens.   Anyway, we have an approximately 4 week old chick and...

I've been worrying about this very same thing lately.  I have a month old BO and then 3 full grown hens in the yard.  I wanted to ad her to the others but every time we visit the older ladies, they do not give her a warm...

Her name is Do-si-dos and she's a buff orpington chick.   I'm hoping she 'stays' a girl, they said they were sexed chicks, but I know that's only ~ 90% accurate and knowing my luck.....  I didn't ask them how old she is but...

Hello all,   I need a little reassurance here. My previously broody pullet was broody for the full 3 weeks, if not a little longer and just came out of that in the last 10 days or so.   Now she's decided to lose all...

We didn't get eggs out of anyone today.  That broody babe is throwing a wrench in our egg production.  Arg.  Maybe this cold snap is helping with the phenomena, but I blame the hen mostly!   She hardly comes out...

Ha!  I took your advice and made another nesting box within the coop and wouldn't you know it, as soon as it was done, one of the chickens flew into the coop (knocking me aside) and went and sat down in there.  45 min. later...
