I’m so happy this article is here and explains that it’s pretty common. I thought it was preventable or my fault somehow. Only one chicken showing signs, so she is quarantined.

If you’ve raised animals for any length of time, this article will help you get through the inevitable learning curve of losing some. Well done, and thanks for a great read.

It’s possible I’ve rated this article before, but it’s worth way more than 5 stars. I use this as a reference guide and have re-read it many times. I appreciate the in depth information and the detailed photos. Such a great article!

Thank you fir this great article. I’m seeing a couple longer nails on two of my hens, and was thinking I could just nip them off. Good thing I read this so I don’t injure them!!

Thank you for all the wonderful information, tips and tricks.

Getting ready to receive my first brood of Muscovy ducklings and this article was a huge help. Thank you!

I’m grateful someone tackled this difficult topic. I struggle with butchering day, but it makes me more appreciative of the meat I eat and the sacrifice of a life that it requires.

Thank you for the information. I’ve only done broody hatching so this was very helpful.

I’m currently watching some eggs under three broody hens. Thanks to the clear and specific information in this article I was able to accurately assess the eggs today, culling two duds and replacing the other developing ones. Thank you!

Thank you for this very thorough article. I especially liked the many options you provided for brooding chicks.

Appreciate this article very much. We just went through this for the first time. We have 20 hens and two original roos, a black cochin and a buff laced Polish. We got two young roosters from a broody hatch and they turned into nightmares at about 4 months. It was beginning to change the dynamic of the flock, creating stress for all. We made the decision to cull the two wild men, and everyone is happier. Great article and very useful guidelines, thank you.

Great article and so fun to observe now that I understand what’s going on. Thank you!

Love the bright colors and the magical look of this space. Great article, thank you.
