adopting

So my polish goes broody every few years but ive always broken her broodiness. Well a few days ago she started to become broody again. She is now 6yo i think? And i wanted to let her brood some babies before i loose her. I’ve never hatched out chicks naturally as all my chooks only go broody...

Hello im Metro im a disabled artist who loves chickens/birds (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Im fairly new to chickens but ive been volunteering at Funny Farm Rescue & Sanctuary for almost a year now! I love birds very much and I currently have a green cheek...

My broody hen hatched out a chick the other day and I decided I was going to buy more for her to adopt. She took them fine and now I have her in a big chicken tractor with 5 chicks.

There are SO MANY poor little birds in need of adoption. As long as your not planning on doing something evil and cruel like eating them or dumping the hens when they stop laying, you should consider saving a life and adopting a bird in need! http://adoptabirdnetwork.com/

I just wanted to share, in case anyone thinks this is not possible, that I have an adolescent Buff Orphington named Denise that did not want to participate in being part of my main group of chickens but gladly became queen of her own coop with 18 baby birds. We purchased her as an adolescent...

Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm a new member (long time BYC reader/researcher, first time question). Yesterday, I received day old chicks in the mail for a broody buff orpington named Buffy. Buffy has been broody for over 3 weeks and 3 days ago I successfully moved her to the broody box. She...
