I have a hen that has been broody for about a week now and I don't have access to any fertile eggs. I was thinking I might just slip some chicks under her if I can find some chicks. How soon can I place the chicks under her? do I need to wait 21 days or do you think I can do this sooner?

I posted this on the barnevelder thread and didn't get a response so I am asking for your thoughts what breed is she. She is very small about the size of a crow. She has the markings of a barnevelder and that was what I was told she was when I purchased her. Her feet are not yellow they are...

I know, I have asked questions before about the barnevelder before, and now the time has come for me to decide to buy it or not. Can you tell, and what do you look for to know its true gender. I just had to get rid of a RIR roo, and I don't need to get another. Please help me if you can. Many...

I have a RIR hen that has a drooping comb. It seems that the bigger the comb gets the more it droops. It is nice and red but it covers her left eye. she is 22 wks old. Is she lacking something in her diet? At first thought it was cute but now concern.
