Double Post....sorry.

We have a mixed flock with a rooster, and our first broody which is a Buff Orpingon. It's been 21 days since we noticed her sitting on the eggs. At that time their were 12 eggs from the flock. Haven't seen her up often at all. At one point, early on, we noticed 14 eggs, and the broody was up and...

I have my first broody ever, a BO. I do have a roo. I haven't been able to come up with separate accomodations for her and her eggs (which are a mixture of my flocks). Even though I have 4 nests for my layers, they all use one. She went broody and started on a days worth of eggs, around 10, on...

My girls are all over one year old. I've never had any go broody, even though some are BO's which are suppose to be. Well, I've had one BO sitting on eggs for a few days now. I have four nesting boxes, and usually all of them lay in just one. Well this girl is now broody and they're force to...

You can see from my profile the breeds of chickens I have. I have one 1.5 year old BR, the others are about 9 months old. All have been laying consistantly since Aug/Sep. Although production droppped significantly (from an avg of 8/day to 2/day) just after our first cold spell, the number of...

Out of 12 girls, we average around 10 eggs/day. On Friday, we had my first perfect dozen 12 for 12. However on Saturday we had only 4 eggs, and today just one. It's our second year with chicks, and we didn't see this significant of a drop last winter. Sure, just when I had developed a customer...

I have one pekin duck that has lived peacefully with my flock since we started with chickens last spring. Our original flock consisted of the duck and three roosters. The remainder are hens from last year and pullets from earlier this year (16 weeks). About ten days ago I found one of my...

We've just introduced our 12 week olds to our existing flock. The existing flock has been getting layer pellets with some mixed in scratch. Up until now the young ones have only had medicated chick starter, except when they are ranging and getting bugs, etc. Now that they are feeding together I...

I have a 11 week old BO pullet. Due to an unfortunate incident she was bitten on her neck by a small dog and has an open wound. I immediately isolated her from the other chickens. It has been two days and she is acting fine, eating, drinking, and eliminating as normal. I placed Neosporin on some...

My daughter has four one-year old chickens (1 hen and 3 roosters, so much for straight run) plus one Peking Duck. We have 13 pullets ready (10 weeks +) to join the older chickens. The coop was plenty big enough, but I wanted to increase the run size before I added the new chicks. We now have a...
