I've searched the boards for an answer to my particular question but no luck so here goes: I have one broody hen sitting on a dozen eggs. They are due to hatch mid to end of next week (May 3-6 or so) She is in a separate coop and has been since I put her on the eggs Since then another hen...

I have a gorgeous rooster who needs a new home. He was born in late August and is really a looker! I will try and get a picture of him up tomorrow. I don't have enough hens to keep two, which is why one has to go. I am located about half way between Buffalo, NY and Erie, PA, right near the lake.

I have had 2 broody hens, sitting on 8 eggs. 4 have hatched (Monday night into Tuesday), 3 are unhatched and 1 has completely disappeared! Last night I combined the 2 hens and the 3 eggs and 4 chicks into one nest because the hens were squished together into one of the hens nesting spot, which...

When we ordered chickens this spring, we got 1 free "exotic" chicken with our order of 12. Here she is. Any idea?

We have 10 hens, 21 weeks old. (Aracana's, Buff Orpingtons, Light Brahmas) and we got three green eggs two weeks ago. Nothing since then. I am hearing the "egg song" but am not finding any eggs. Is this normal? They all appear healthy and are shut in the coop at night and are in their large...

This is my first attempt at posting a picture. First two eggs were found yesterday in a corner of the coop---they were perfect!

Hi all, I am pretty new to all of this. We have 14 chickens, about 12 weeks old. A light brahma hen was walking funny tonight. She looked like a duck. She seemed able to move around fine, but was not walking at her full height---keeping her knees bent and belly close to the ground. I did...
