    Any light brahma experts out there?

    I have four light brahma chicks all born the same day. One is extremely bigger than the other three. Not quite double the size of the other ones, but definitely a lot larger. Does this mean the large one is definitely a rooster? It also has tons more feathers on its feet compared to the...

    We have 5 easter eggers and got our first GREEN egg today. I was so excited because two of them are only laying brown eggs. Can't wait to see what color the other ones lay.

    How long after chicks before start laying again?

    How long after a hen's chicks are "weaned" from mamma before she will start laying eggs again? Had my first broody hen hatch one chick about 8 weeks ago. I just put mamma back with the rest of the flock. So how long does it normally take before they start laying again?

    hen sounds congested

    She's about 1 year, 1 1/2 years. Rest of the flock doesn't sound like her, she's the only one. Just noticed it last night. Nothing's changed with their coop or around our house. Is a respiratory infection serious, could she die from it?

    How many hours does it take for chicks to hatch?

    They're both out of their eggs now!! However, one looks like it still has some of the egg lining stuck to it's vent/butt. Do I leave that alone or do I try to peel it off? They're both chirping and kind of laying around. I know that's pretty normal for the first day or so, right?

    When to introduce new chick to rest of flock

    Thanks for suggestions. I have them kind of in a wire dog crate like you were talking about. So the rest of the flock is seeing them now. So will the hen kind of let me know when she's ready to kind of "wean" the chick?

    I have a banty with only one chick. I have her and the chick separated from the rest of my chickens. At what point should I separate the hen and chick? Will she do this herself? At what point do I introduce the chick to the rest of the chickens? First chick hatched from a broody...

    Finish this sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when..."

    You think chickens are adorable. You always look online to see what kind of chicks are being sold. You are on BYC every day.

    Hen switching nest

    My banty hen keeps switching between two nests. Any suggestions? She'll sit in one nest for 2 or 3 days and then I find her in the nest right next to the one she had been sitting in. So I take the eggs and put them back under her. Will they still hatch? Why would she keep switching nests?
