Thanks y'all for posting! I do have a quite a bit more questions since I've been reading y'alls posts! I do have no other place to possibly raise her so my only choice is to let her raise them with the flock, but I do have plenty of room! I have a big area where I let my chickens roam in their...

Like where should I put her? Maybe in like a pen? I have this big round thing in the bottom of the coop that she is sitting in..

Okay so I've been keeping chickens for about 2/3 years now, but I've never had a chicken go THIS broody! Buffing at me, making the "dinosaur" noise I call it, sitting at night.. So my mom and I thought we would experience with it. We have her sitting on 5 eggs, & we have them marked. She's been...

Thanks for all your posts guys! I had a heat lamp in the past and it burnt my whole coop down in January of this year. But we still haven't figured if it was the heat lamp or not, but still, I'm kinda scared! So I think I'm just gonna fix the drafts and things. I'm gonna work on it this...

Hey y'all. Hope everyone is staying warm, here is northern MS it's pretty chilly. I'm just ready to see the sun! Okay, so here's the deal. I want to know if you all have a heat lamp in y'alls coops for your lovely birds! Is it really necessary? What should I do to help keep my chickens warm this...

She looks like a sex-link! She's gorgeous!

Is leftover chilli okay for chickens to have for a little treat on a gloomy day?

Quote: This was my thought too. I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain a little more? I'm still new to many chicken injurys. Sorry!

I will definately do that tomorrow. I hope she's okay by in the morning! She's such a sweet heart! I felt it before I put the neosporin on it, it wasn't hard, it was kinda gooey, but Ididn't try squezzing it or anything. THanks

It was something similar to Neosporin I used, or I think it was Neosporin.. Same thing, haha. I noticed it late this afternoon right after dark, so I had enough time to put something on her and get some ointment on it, I will definately check her in the morning. Thanks for responding, apriciate...

Oh he is so gorgeous! Good luck on getting some more eggs and saving the genes! RIP MR. Mister!

Saw blood on my chicken. She's a BR hen. On this picture, it is just blood on the feathers where it has dripped, but my most concern is right where that little hole is. Blood is coming out of it. It is a grayish color and it's not hard. I put some ointment on it and wiped it with a...

Anyone?

Okay I'm starting to think she is molting.. AGAIN! She is a BR, not laying anymore. Everytime she walks a feather comes off. What should I do. Cause this happened at the end of last year, and lasted to the beginging of this year! Please tell me some suggestions, I know to always give them eggs...
