i found my narr. hen making a nest the other day and i was hoping she would go broody. but she lays an egg in the nest then leaves it. will she set on them whenever she reaches her magic number or will she continue to leave them?
okay so my hen just started laying and i got my second egg today, but both eggs have been in the middle of the floor. so my question is will she use the nest box when she is ready to go broody?

I was trying to get some sleep, but this wind just won't let me. It sounds like a train running right beside my window. And there's a tree branch beating against the side of my house. Friday we had three tornado's here in lower TN. I watched one land a couple miles from my house. My turkeys...
Hello everyone! Last week I got my first turkeys. I am not sure which breed i have though. They are colored alot like the Eastern wilds, but have white on their wingtips. After reading a little i am assuming i have Narragansett turkeys. If anyone wants to share pics of their Narragansett's...
I just bought my first turkeys last week. I have a young male and a hen. Both were hatched last spring and are not a year old yet. I am wanting to buy some more hens and a full grown tom. My question is if I put a tom in the pen with my smaller male will the tom fight him and possibly kill him?
OK, so i got a new barred rock yesterday. The previous owner said she laid an egg a day. She hasn't laid an egg today. My question is do hens have to get use to their new home before they lay. If so how long will it be before she lays an egg?

I have a baby chick. He/she is 3 days old. When I checked on it earlier it was making a very loud screech sound. Could it be trying to crow? It has a very aggressive attitude. If I stick my hands in the brooder it will chase my hand and peck me. Is it a baby roo or do some baby hens act...
A couple of weeks ago I visited my uncles farm. I left there with 4 red star chicken eggs so that I could incubate them myself. I have discarded 2 of them due to no embryo development. I can see the other 2 shaking the eggs, and i can ocassionally hear them peeping. How long do they have left...
