    Split Beak?

    it is split on the end, I just got through cleaning up the coop a bit and I picked her up to have a closer look. The beak looks as if it is chipped.

    Split Beak?

    Noticed one of my Cochin hens has a small split on top of her beak. I've watched her and noticed she still is eating and drinking without problem. I've read that some folks choose to super glue the beak to keep it from splitting all the way. Should I super glue? Seems kinda odd. Any...

    Fertile eggs??

    This is my first real post; so forgive me if I post under the 'wrong' area. I have 6 hens and 2 roosters in my flock and they all share a rather large coop. I've heard so much that I shouldn't have 2 roosters with so few hens but I can't bear to part with either roo. Anyway, the hens have...
