Thanks to this group, I knew what to do for my Broody hen. She was sitting on 11 eggs, protecting them with her wings, for 24 hours. I lifted her out of the nest, and she seems to be happy to join the flock again. I found her sitting on 12 eggs. A few weeks ago they were nesting all around the...

Yesterday my neighbor called me to see the nest of 24 eggs she found in the woods between our homes. She had a new AC installed and the chickens were at her house, attreacked to haveing people around, I assume. We thought their production dropped because of a heat wave. We have 9 hens...

It's a long story, but we purchased our same dream solar home twice. When we bought it back, it came with 9 free range hens, about one year old and lovingly raised and handled often by 3 girls. I held them the first week, and got a terrible case of posion ivy, because they walk through it. I...
