Yer I'm from the UK. Only really letting her in the nest box because she's out the way until she settles in. Took months to get mine out of the nest box habit. Warren is your standard laying hen, what are used for battery hens generally

Thanks for the advice. I've not noticed any blood, just pull out the odd feather. I went to check them once they went away tonight and they all have gone away together, new girl is in the nest box and the rest are on the perches, but it looks like steady progress to me

I've made her as shown above, an area on top of the coop where she can go feed and drink by herself. I'm making sure to pay attention to the old bunch first by bringing them treats, before paying her attention

Basically I've got 1 buff Orpington, 2 black rocks, and a Warren, (all roughly under a year old) I had 2 warrens and one never laid, so I got rid Saturday. The same day I went and got a POL columbine from a local breeder. Put it in a dog cage with its own food and water for the day until the...

Couldn't see any hair or fur around the scene. Let's hope that whatever it was, hit my chicken wire that's buried and decided it's not worth it

Been out to clean out my chickens about 2 hours ago. Just went out to check on them and it seems I've had a visitor of some sort. Any ideas wether it was a fox or a cat? I'm hoping for a cat but guessing more likely a fox. This is at 5pm in the middle of a built up area. Here's some poo I...

Just thought I'd ask, is my current schedule okay? My chicks don't lay many eggs since changing from pellets to corn, didn't know if it was related to the rest of my schedule. Monday - mixed corn + apple cider vinegar Tuesday - mixed corn + apple cider vinegar Wednesday - mixed corn + breathe...

Forever - they are all of laying age and older Hokum - every time they're in there I shoo them out A bit of progress on this, went to put them away last night and only one in the nest box, and it just happened to be the chicken that doesn't like to be touched, soon as I touch her she always...

Having a bit of a dilemma. Had 3 of my chickens around 10 weeks, and the other 3 around 2 weeks. Initially the originals would sleep in the best boxes, and every single night since, I've had to shoo them out and put plant pots in the nest boxes. I thought this was because they're higher than the...

The one in post 8 looks a bit like an Orpington. Not mega clued up though so don't take that as being totally correct

Thanks for saying hi everyone. Nice to be made welcome :) Anyone else got any ideas on the sex of my warren?

Waiting for pics to be moderated before they'll post. Not sure how long that will take

Here's a few more pics Thanks Shaun

Here's a few more pics Thanks Shaun

Going to pop out and take some more pics now. Yer it's a Warren

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Unfortunately there wasn't an age specified on the auction where I got them from. I know my originals (blackrocks and Orpington) are pullets. So far it's 2-1 of it being a hen then, that's giving me a bit more satisfaction! Haven't heard it cooing, or for...

Hello everybody. I'm Shaun from Lincolnshire, UK. Recently invested in 4 hens (about 8 weeks ago), then unfortunately one got sick and i had to get rid. So yesterday, i went and got 3 more, from the same auction i bought the originals from. My dilemma is that i fear i may have bought a cockerel...
