I have a young broody GLW, how many eggs should I give her?

So my 36-week-old GLW started to sit yesterday on nothing! she even slept on the nest last night. I thought she had given up this morning but she went back to it again without eggs, I fed her eggs this morning and she didn't peck me or anything. So is she really broody or should I wait before I...

I was hanging out with the girls yesterday when someone pooped this and another girl grabbed it but I got it just in time. What is it? My girls are really young not even year old. I also need to know if this weird poop is normal but it is not related to the weird thing above since this was...

My EE just layed her egg and she is sitting on it after laying it, she does this for a while and then leaves the nest box, is this normal behavior after laying or will she go broody soon?

My SLW was injured by the dog next door and ran away, I thought she was dead but we found her thanks to a neighbor a week after the attack. She was injured and missing feathers, she's healed now and growing her feathers back (no skin is visible) I've tried re-introducing her to the other 5 in...

My girls are almost 26 weeks and I was wondering when the first molt happens Also, at what age are they likely to get broody?

I thought my SLW had been killed by my next door dog last Sunday since I found her feathers outside and was too heartbroken to keep looking for her, well today my hubby was tending to his pigeons and a kid came asking if we had lost a chicken because there was one close by hiding in some bamboo...

I found what appeared to be egg white mixed with dirt today and my Speckled Sussex was very busy eating it, the weird thing is that there was no sign of egg yolk or eggshell and I've been checking on them all day. My Speckled Sussex shows all the signs before they lay but I can't wrap my around...

My GLW has been laying for a week now but she doesn't make any sounds at all before or after she lays, my Silver Cuckoo Maran is laying too and she's very loud sometimes but I've only heard the egg son from her only once. Now my Speckled Sussex is not laying yet and she sings the egg song...

I caught my Silver Cuckoo Maran saturday laying her first egg next to 2 other eggs which looked different in color to hers. It's been 2 days and they have not laid another egg. Should I worry? Is this normal for new layers?

are laying! I was cooking in my backyard when I started hearing the egg song and it was coming from the back of their coop and there was my Silver Cuckoo Maran Lola next to 3 eggs, I identified hers because it was warm but I have no idea who laid the others. I did see my SLW back there this...

So, everytime I pick up one of my girls, my top girl ( a Silver Cuckoo Maran) tries to attack them really bad, she even drew blood from my SLW while I was holding her the other day. Is it possible that she's jealous? My other question is about their behavior when I let them out of their coop...

I'm just curious about the lacing on my SLW, she's 22 weeks now and her lacing is very irregular. Will her feathers still change to a better lacing pattern or is this it? She's a hatchery chick and I know they don't have the best lacing but is there hope? My GLW looks so much better than her...

My girls are 22 weeks today and my Silver Cuckoo Maran squatted when I was next to her, I had read about it here but I had never seen it so it was really funny and exciting Soooo does that mean I will get an egg soon? I will post pictures of them tomorrow so you can tell me what you think about...

My girls are almost 14 weeks and I haven't changed their baby chick feed yet, when should I do that? I would also like to know according to their breed when they'll more or less start laying (I know it can vary but just an idea) I have one of each: SLW, GLW, Silver Cuckoo Maran, Speckled...

I got 7 girls from MPC but the SLW has always been the smallest and slowest to feather, it also looks taller than the rest but skinny She or he is 7 weeks old, I know it's probably too soon to tell but what do you think...Boy or girl?
