Thank you. I let her go the first time but since she’s the boss, no one else wanted to go into the coop so they’d just walk around it complaining 😂 Maybe I could set her up somewhere else and let her sort it out herself?

That’s a plan. 😃

I’m thinking about it but I can’t really have anymore chickens. I’m ok to keep going but am worried she may become sad if she is always going broody

Yes!! It’s about 10 before she goes broody! Did you break her or just let her go? I tried to let her go the first time but she was like that for over 21 days so I broke her instead. how old is she?

I don’t have a rooster. I’m in suburbia so we can’t. I’m perfectly ok to keep breaking her when she goes broody but I’m just thinking of her happiness. My girls are completely spoilt so I feel I’m making this decision for her 😂 I’m waaay to soft

Hi, I have a lovely Cochin girl who is about 10 months old. She’s been laying for a while but this morning has been the third time she’s turned broody in the last 4 months! We have a routine it seems. She gets broody, goes to jail, comes out 3-4 days later, becomes boss again, lays for a bit...

Excellent theory. She’s so sweet and really cuddly so it was confusing me. Thank you 😃

Thank you! She would try to dust bathe on me as a chick. Maybe she’s a little special.... 😂 Thanks for the advice

My ‘lowest ranking’ is a sweetheart. If I am ever sitting in the yard, she’ll check on me every 20 mins or so and sit next to me. Sometimes she will put her head under my leg. I’m presuming that she finds me safe. She’ll often sleep near me. She has done the rooster squat to me for the last...

Thank you!

Hi My little duckling looks to have a sore eye. I’m not sure if maybe she didn’t have deep enough water to clean her nose and eyes but I’ve given her a little bowl now. Have anyone of you seen this before?

Hi! I am about to setup an aquaponic system next to the chicken run to grow food just for them and my ducks. I was originally just going to go hydro but had an idea... has anyone made or seen an aquaponic system used for watering chickens and ducks? My idea would to have pvc pipe along the run...

The duck is question She’s much quieter then her friend but maybe that’s just her

On it! 😃
