I just recently bought a house with 6 chickens that I think are 3 buff orpingtons and 3 rhode island reds and have had to learn a lot in a short amount of time. In my first couple of months I've already had one of them go broody and she's been broody for nearly 3 weeks. I'm considering getting her a couple chicks to raise. I may get an ameraucana and a delaware. I've already bought a dog kennel and cornered off a section of the chicken run to separate her from the others and raise her chicks.
I've also had one that appears to be sick today. She seems to have lost her voice and has been sneezing. I posted in one of the other threads about it but it went to the moderator because I posted a couple of youtube video links of her behavior. I'm not sure if I should separate her from the others or not.
This looks like a good group of knowledgeable chicken owners so I hope to learn a lot from you all.
