Thanks y'all for posting! I do have a quite a bit more questions since I've been reading y'alls posts! I do have no other place to possibly raise her so my only choice is to let her raise them with the flock, but I do have plenty of room! I have a big area where I let my chickens roam in their...
Okay so I've been keeping chickens for about 2/3 years now, but I've never had a chicken go THIS broody! Buffing at me, making the "dinosaur" noise I call it, sitting at night.. So my mom and I thought we would experience with it. We have her sitting on 5 eggs, & we have them marked. She's been...
Thanks for all your posts guys!
I had a heat lamp in the past and it burnt my whole coop down in January of this year. But we still haven't figured if it was the heat lamp or not, but still, I'm kinda scared! So I think I'm just gonna fix the drafts and things. I'm gonna work on it this...
Hey y'all. Hope everyone is staying warm, here is northern MS it's pretty chilly. I'm just ready to see the sun! Okay, so here's the deal. I want to know if you all have a heat lamp in y'alls coops for your lovely birds! Is it really necessary? What should I do to help keep my chickens warm this...

Awwww this just made my heart melt! I wish I had some chickens that do this! Mine only come close when I can give them treats and get down to their level.. This makes me wanna have some baby chicks
I will definately do that tomorrow. I hope she's okay by in the morning! She's such a sweet heart! I felt it before I put the neosporin on it, it wasn't hard, it was kinda gooey, but Ididn't try squezzing it or anything. THanks
It was something similar to Neosporin I used, or I think it was Neosporin.. Same thing, haha. I noticed it late this afternoon right after dark, so I had enough time to put something on her and get some ointment on it, I will definately check her in the morning. Thanks for responding, apriciate...
Saw blood on my chicken. She's a BR hen.
On this picture, it is just blood on the feathers where it has dripped, but my most concern is right where that little hole is. Blood is coming out of it. It is a grayish color and it's not hard. I put some ointment on it and wiped it with a...
Okay I'm starting to think she is molting.. AGAIN! She is a BR, not laying anymore. Everytime she walks a feather comes off. What should I do. Cause this happened at the end of last year, and lasted to the beginging of this year! Please tell me some suggestions, I know to always give them eggs...
So should I give one away.. They are still chasing but not really anymore.. Just when I have them closed up for the evening going into the morning, before I can get down there I know there is friction.. I just don't want one to kill the other one, you know? I just want them to work it out.

Exactly! My BR roo has grown up to be bigger than my RIR roo and he is doing the chasing. Do you think they will kill each other or try and fight? Or do you think they will reach an agreement?
I have 2 roos. A RIR & a BR. I both got them at the same time, which was 1 day old when I ordered my bunch. Well my RIR roo, he has grown to be the dominate one.. While my BR roo has stayed back, didn't get to call dibs I guess. Now all the sudden yesterday, my dad told me that while I was at...
I have two roos.. One Rhode Island Red, then a Barred Rock.. I've heard over the years that one will always take dominance.. & that's my RIR roo. His crow sounds fine, but my BR roo his sounds like when he first started.. The just started crowing about a month or so ago.. Will his crow ever...
