Speaking from experience, that is a must! my first coop was a pain in butt when it came to raking. I eventually got to the point where I had cut my rake in half to make my life easier.

[/IMG] Huh I am in love with this little booger! She is so cute!! Especially when I turned around to check on her and she was dust bathing in the Gopher hole

Aww she looks like one of my girls! Pardon her crazy feathers she has been relentlessly broody.

So true! I started out with one that I had adopted from a sanctuary... Then I got two now I am about to get another hen that is a bantam polish. YOU JUST CANT STOP!!!

Thank you, She is a 3 1/2 month old blue mottled.

Anyone have any advice on getting a broody hen to stop being broody... I have a sliver laced Cochin who has been broody for a little over a week now and by the way is now naked underside and she need to be able to grow those feathers back for her show in end of April. I have tried separating her...

aww thanks

My sweet Maisie had her first free range day with the big girls , well 3 of the 4 of them are big. She was such a happy little chicken at least until she almost ran into my standerd Cochin then she went over to a patch of grass and stayed there munching away from the others!

yeah I took her out of the nest box once and that was it, because I had to clean the nest box. I am looking for Buff laced polish eggs but if I can't find any I have to break her broodiness... She has a show next week!

My silver laced Cochin has been broody for 4 days now and she isn't even sitting on fertile eggs or even any eggs at this point... I gave her food and water so she doesn't dehydrate but I have tried a few tricks that have worked with my bantam Cochins and they don't seem to be working with her...

I have to explain quite alot what a chicken show or a Poultry show is to people... But a few days it was kinda ridiculous the amount of questions I was asked. I was at WinCo getting the ingredients for my feed (I mix my own) then realized I need to restock all my show supplies. Magic erasers...

I feel really bad for my silver laced because she is consistently broody wanting to hatch eggs that aren't fertile. I would be hatching any this year at least season because a friend of mine who had a roo to match her that I used for breeding had to move and the roo went with he. Poor girl I am...

Yeah it happens there is no way to keep them clean... Unless you make socks . I love Partridge anything let alone Cochins, but sadly I have non. All I have is a silver laced standard and 2 bantam Cochins, dark blue and mottled. But I love them with all my heart.

Yep the same rules apply some has tints but all have atleast a little yellow if not all

Seems as if a little red star hen photo bombed my cuckoo maran :o :) Pardon her paleness they were getting tired and ready to take a nap... But of course she can't sleep without testing the new toy
