    Advise, discuss, & thoughts

    Yes I imagined that they’d be separated for breeding purposes. I read they aren’t known for bloodiness so I was going to house them together for fertilized eggs, like I do with my RIRs, then let them run with the flock for a bit. My only concern is integrating a new Roo with my other Roos...

    Advise, discuss, & thoughts

    First I’d like to say apologies if I’ve posted in the wrong area, I couldn’t think of what this thread would fall under. I have, as many know, a small, growing flock of beautiful diverse chickens & I have recently come across an endangered species & I would love to help with conservation but...

    Need Breeding Advise

    He has two behavioural traits. I can tell his bullying from the other behaviour I’ve questioned. He can be quite a … cock 🙈 but it’s distinctive. I am hoping I don’t find any injured birds in the morning, they have all been moved to their outside home this evening.

    I believe he is 7 or 8 weeks old. he is with three others including the one I brought him home with - the one who’s sex is in question lol. Hen or not Big Red has not tried mounting that one so I left them together & put in a couple other Roos so they aren’t lonely. The fighting & mounting...

I had to separate him & place a barrier between...

    How do you manage broody lockdown?

    You could be doing more harm than good by interfering that much, you could even unintentionally break her broodiness. Mom will have a great temp reading on the eggs and will get off them if she feels they are to hot. Much like us moms when we hold our babies with a fever, momma hens will absorb...

    How do you manage broody lockdown?

    Truly it’s a ‘let nature take its course’. She know exactly what she’s doing & what those babies need. My list: * keep her safe from other hens & Roos (depending on your setup) ~ ~ other hens can be wicked. * maintain daily rations of food & clean water - she’ll eat & drink as she needs ~ ~...

    Way too early to tell (duh), but not a RIR?

    Definitely a RIR. I raise RIRs and that’s totally normal and she’s gonna be beautiful! Hugs for everything 🤗

    Need Breeding Advise

    Well I am officially frustrated by this 🙈 my first thought was to get a cream legbar but after a suggestion of the blue barred Easter egger I went with these two. Guess I still have time to figure something out as my momma went broody again anyways and is sitting on some RIR eggs. I just...
