    Sexing Hybrids

    Hi all, Just thought I’d keep you updated … the chick is now 2 months old and this is what he/she looks like! Hopefully in another month I’ll know for sure! 😁

    Absolutely - I’ll keep you updated! The last three chicks I hatched a few years ago were all girls! So I’m guessing I’m due a boy! 50/50!

    Thank you, he is very handsome and knows it! What makes you say boy? I know he has very pink waggles, but a pale comb. I’m praying it’s a girl! 🤦‍♀️

    Sexing Hybrids

    Hi all, I’ve raised a number of chicks over the years and had successfully pinpointed sex of the chicks through the usual (comb, wattle, feather shape, behaviour, size etc etc). However this little chick has me baffled! She is the only chick 🐣 so I’ve nothing to compare it with. Her Dad I’m...

    Broody Hen - still sitting on an empty nest for 4 weeks!

    UPDATE: I put my girl in an elevated dog crate as a few of you suggested and let her out after 2 days! This worked, broke the cycle and she has stopped nesting! Thank you all for your advice - much appreciated! x

    Broody Hen - still sitting on an empty nest for 4 weeks!

    I missed the opportunity as one of my hens had a chick about 5 weeks ago! But it was just the one. Thank you so much for the advice/pic etc! I will definitely give this a go as I can't find any other solution at the moment!

    Where are the hens laying their eggs?

    Thank you. The ex-bats have been with me now for about a year and they are all settled in. I did wonder about my 5 year old that it was an age thing! I dust them with red mite powder in the warmer months too and have a red mite trap in my coop so that I can see if there are any. Everything...

    Where are the hens laying their eggs?

    I have three ex-battery hens who are about 2 years old and a five year old hand raised hen who have not laid an egg for at least a couple of months now! Or they are laying somewhere I cannot find! I have other hens and they are laying fine (albeit not always in the hen house, sometimes in the...

    Broody Hen - still sitting on an empty nest for 4 weeks!

    Any advice grateful received. I have a cream leg bar that showed some broodiness about 4 weeks or so ago. I moved all eggs, hoping this would break the cycle, however she continues to sit every day, all day on an empty nest! She comes out once a day for food etc, but goes straight back to her...
