I have my first broody hen. (Daisy - Buff Orp.) She has been sitting on the same 3 eggs for about 2 weeks. The eggs are not fertile (no roos). Can I put a couple of day old chicks from the feed store under her on day 21. I only have room for 2 more hens, that's why I didn't get any hatching...

My little EE hen has two big cuts on either side of her body under her wings from my rooster. You can basically lift up the feathers and the skin lifts up with them. Underneath the flesh is not oozing and doesn't look infected. She also took a dust bath and the area has a crust of dirt on it...

Does anyone have any pictures of a fully grown buff ameraucana hen. My little Buttercup is about 9 weeks old. I am wondering if she'll get more yellow coloring on her body as she grows (like the sample picture on my pet chicken) I don't see very many posts about buff ameraucanas on the message...

I'm worried, I read these posts by people who have been busted for keeping chickens. I'm really attached to my 4 hens, they are so much fun. I looked under the City Municple Code and found only one mention in the code: 6.08.010 Keeping prohibited—Exception. It is unlawful for any person to...
