Oh I forgot, she does seem to have an appitite and always drinks a fair amount when I bring it to her, but she is very lazy about getting it herself

Ok, here's the scoop, my hen has been in the nesting box 24/7 for three weeks at least. At first I thought she was being broody but I later realized she was not. I carefully picked her up and her butt was really messy with poo. I cleaned her up to see if she had a prolapse or anything else...

I know this is probably a dumb question and I've searched this site but haven't answered my questions. I have 22 hens one blue silkie and three roosters (by accident) anyway I am keeping my roosters as I have become attached to them. Roo Roo the Barred Rock, Goldie the Buff Orpington, and no...

I ordered all pullets. I would like to get a rooster or two down the road and hatch a few. I think my girls would love that and learn a little! Right now I just want to get in the swing of it and not have to worry about candling eggs;) My silkie is a straight run, I'm kinda leary about that...
