@MGG @HKG So guys, here I am with 9 six month old chickens. And this young girl right here a Lavender Orpington Wisteria has gone broody. And to my extreme persistence has refused to break from her broodiness. I have tried everything, she just WON'T quit. So I gave up and slipped four eggs...

I have some great news! We'll kinda stressful. So my lavender orpington Wisteria is I'm 95% positive is going broody. She has been in the nestbox the last two days I took her out to let her go to the bathroom and eat and drink some. She stayed out of the box for like a solid hour, but then went...

Hello friends, Yesterday I noticed Lilla, my lavender orpington was kinda sluggish and not perky as she normally is. I left her over night and this morning I noticed the same so I picked her up and examined her and found that she had a prolapse with a soft shelled egg. Fast-forward a bit I...

Hey Friends. I was just curious about this upcoming winter and light. When the time does come around to batten down the hatches for the cold season. I would like to give them light, not to force egg production but just enough. Reason being is that the only door that will be open is the little...

Well currently I'm out in my yard, laying in the grass under a massive Green Ash Tree. Enjoying this beautiful evening admiring my chickens and enjoying their company. I had an urge to maybe share a little bit about myself, or maybe alot? Not really sure what you would consider alot or "some"...

Hello friends, My 10 birds are going to be 6 weeks this coming Monday. I was just coming here to ask if they would be good to go out to their new permanent home next week. We just got dumped on with snow but the highs today are suppose to be I the 40's so it will be mostly gone by late...

I have 10 almost 4 week old chicks, they are just a few days short. Today is finally not supposed to be windy and the high is supposed to get around 68. Can I let them outside for a bit? It will be there first time. They are downstairs in my basement in a big galvanized stock tank brooder. I...

Hello Friends, I was just curious to see your guy's Runs! How big, clutter, and set up. Maybe to get some ideas for roofs and adding extra clutter (logs, old ladders, boulders, etc.) Imitation is the finest form of flattery as they say. My run is done but adding onto or to it itself. Mine is...

Hiya friends, I just have a quick question and wondering about when I should give my chicks a little tray of dirt to expose them to the native flora and fauna around here. I will be getting them March 15th. I was just wondering when would be a good time to do so. They're not vaccinated for...

Hello friends, I am building two rather large "grazing boxes" with wire mesh over it to keep the chickens from demolishing the root system of these seeds I want to sprout and grow for them to graze on in their run. I bought two packs of seeds one 2lb bag of Wheatgrass seed which I know can be...

Hello friends, So I'm just curious and was wondering for some insight/recommendations. I'll be getting my shipment of chicks here very soon. But for a future reference I was curious on what to feed a whole flock, as in one rooster and 9 hens. I know starter/grower is what's first. But I'm...

Hiya Friends! I thought maybe that this would be a good idea. During these odd and stressful times I think we could use a good, healthy distraction a.k.a CHICKENS. So I thought starting a thread that will allow us to share and enjoy each other's comraderie! I'll be getting my new batch of...

First thing PLEASE excuse the mess!! This picture was taken early fall when we were still in construction phase. But my question is would this be big enough of a coop where keeping the water inside wouldn't cause a moisture issue? I want to do the pvc water and feed method and I would be placing...
