    definitely hens. And also, roosters start crowing fairly young (much younger than that)

    Review by '' on item 'Sebright'

    I had one of my hens hatch out her own chicks, and she's been a really good mother so far. I tried to get my other hen to adopt chicks, but she didn't accept them. She's still broody, and is putting up a fight to stay that way. I'm not sure why people say Sebrights aren't broody, because 2/2 of...

    When mine were teenagers, they would all sleep on my lap every night, but they soon died off from predators. Even though they were amazing, I wouldn't get them again because I want to experience more breeds.

    Review by '' on item 'Australorp'

    I've only had one adult black australorp (BA), but she was the sweetest thing. I got her as an adult along with 4 other breed hens. She was the only sweet one. She let me hold her, etc. Very soon after getting her, she went broody and was the best mother I've had. Definitely recommend for...

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    For some reason, In my experience, Ameraucanas have just been more docile. Even they come from the same order, and breeding place, I've just found EEs to be more skittish. Also, people commonly mistake them for an actual breed. An Easter Egger is an Ameraucana that doesn't fit the breeding...

    Do your guineas lay eggs inside the coop? And would they go broody insisde the coop? If they didnt, would it be possible to move them successfully?

    Well i have an extremely mixed flock of over 32 chickens, and she does fine with all of them. My one hen is kind of a loner, and prefers to be by herself, but when around the others, she does very well. She had previously hatched out chicks that were half Old english and half japanese bantam...

    Ducks brooding outside

    I already have quite of few nesting boxes in the coop, but I've had my fair of chickens hide in dark places. For instance, my Japanese hen hid under the horse barn, and I thought she was dead. To my surprise, she came out 3 weeks later with 8 chicks. I really hope this doesn't happen with the...

    Ducks brooding outside

    Hi, I'm getting ducks today, and I've read and experienced a lot about broodiness. I've heard that most of the time ducks will brood in a quiet place outside. But in my case, I live on 11 acres, and snakes and predators pose a threat. Is there any advice about this? I've heard you can put...

    I live in a fairly hot climate, but they're definitely built to stand cold. How cold are you talking?
