Searched for this today and this 13 yr old post came up. I have a Marans, who doesn’t appear to be broody. Isn’t hanging out in the nest. Just lays an egg, screams out her song and goes back out in the yard. I noticed the last couple days she has been picking up leaves and tossing them on her...

This is Lucky Roo. He was hatched 3/28/22. He’s never tried to crow. (Which is awesome since my city doesn’t allow roosters 😜). I was wondering if anyone could tell me what breed(s) he looks like. He’s a big boy. Legs are sort of grayish green. He’s got a single comb and has a very pleasant...

Hi. I’m a 3.5 month old Easter Egger, with a little extra. I like long forages on the range, leading my ladies to tasty snacks and scaring off nasty ole predators. I’m not much into cuddles but if you’re looking for a strong male figure, who will still come running for treats like a toddler, I’m...

Wellllll. Thanks all. Zeb started crowing.

I got his egg from a friend of mine. She has Amerucanas and many other breeds, all running together. Soooo, there’s no telling who his daddy is. 😂

Poop. That’s what I was worried about. My city doesn’t allow roosters.

So she hatched from a bluish green egg. Has white legs. Big “girl”. I swear she tried to crow this morning. Hatched March 28, 2022. Three months old.

Oooo. And here’s now. Right at 8 weeks. ❤️❤️

This is Frankie. She went broody so I adopted 5 eggs for her to sit. She hatched all five. They are Zeb, Robbie, Obi, Russell and Lucy. She has been the best mom.

Forgot to come back and update. Finished the new coop. It’s 80” by 46” and average 40” tall (sloped roof). Connected it to the big run (8’x9’ and 6’ in the middle) and added on my first run that is an additional 70”by 36” and 42” tall. Everyone seems to be happy with the new room. Friendly...

I let mom hatch 5 adopted eggs. Kept them in a kennel in my bathroom. I kept a brooder heater nearby in case mom wasn’t enough. At 4 weeks, I moved mom and babies out to a temporary run and coop next to the main one. That way everyone else got used to the new additions. At 5 weeks, mom was over...

The main run is 9x8ft. The bigger coop is 3.5x3ft raised with run underneath and an extended run portion that is 3x3ft. The smaller coop is 2.5x3ft raised with a run underneath. I am halfway finished building my new coop. It will be 4x9 ft and 4 ft tall. She put herself in the small coop that’s...

I’m in Louisiana. A friend of mine has a large flock with several sitting on eggs now. She’s hookiing me up. I have 4 hens total. I have a smaller coop with its own run attached to my larger coop and big run. So I can easily put a piece of chicken wire blocking the way between the coops. I...

I have a broody lady. No rooster so she’s wasting her time. I also have three other hens. If I got some fertilized eggs and let her have at it, will the other hens be accepting of the chicks? Or will I have to separate them?

Thanks. I think Lucille is going to give me a wide berth after this.

Miss Lucille is a bantam Cochin frizzle. She is almost a year old and has been very steady laying eggs. They’ve been clean until today. She laid a bloody one (sorry washed it before thinking of a pic). Wasn’t smears, was wet “liquid” blood. With a blob of soft poop. She’s been laying clean eggs...

Ooo ooo. I got this one. False. 🤣

Thanks a bunch. Everything seems to be back on track.

Lump has cleared. Yaayyyy. She is 6 months old. She laid her first egg 4 days ago. The vet tested her poo and said no parasites. Yes, grit and oyster shells available. Her poop was better today. Still a little on the runny side. She is eating but doesn’t fill her crop.
