    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    My hen has been broody for about three weeks. She has zero interest in them other than to attack them. So, I removed the chicks. Thanks everyone for the speedy replies.

    Cross posted in hopes of fast reply: I have a cochin that went broody so I purchased three chicks and incorporated them last night. Everything went well. This morning I check on them and Twigs is still unwilling to leave the nest and also won't allow the chicks to move from underneath her...

    Little Tikes Playhouse coop in the Winter?

    Did you ever figure out the answers to your questions? I just acquired a playhouse and I'm converting it into a coop and I'm dealing with the insulation problem myself. Spray foam insulation seems cost prohibitive. I was curious what you came up with.

    Lethargic Chicken, Extremely Underweight

    I'm experiencing this very same thing right now with one of my hens (10 months old) except that she has been having diarrhea and appeared anemic. I was wondering if you found a solution for yours or what the outcome was. If she passed, was she necropsied? TIA

    Pale comb, lethargic and loss of muscle mass around breastbone.

    Pardon my terminology. I'm a newbie chicken owner. I have a 12 month old hen that was laying and has recently stopped. I noticed about three days ago that her comb was pale and she just looked punk. I added some vitamin and electrolyte supplements to her water. Today when I picked her up...

    Six Pullets of unknown breed

    Cat in the house

    Thanks everyone. I put hardware cloth everywhere so they now have a safe run and a safe coop when I can't watch them.

    Cat in the house

    Would I just need to cover the bottom 2-3' of the fence? I have hardware cloth everywhere else including the top of the run.

    Cat in the house

    Hi all! I recently purchased six Wyandotte pullets. They're now 2 1/2 weeks old. I'm so excited! I converted an old dog kennel into a coop and run for them. I am confident that no predators can get in. However, the ladies are younger than I had expected and I've noted that they can slip through...
