    Adding young hens into flock that has rooster question

    Yes the "teenage" coop is right next to the adult coop since I read that helps with integrating into the flock. They are probably between 4-5 months of age. My flock is very docile and these new ones seem to be rather sure of themselves.

    Adding young hens into flock that has rooster question

    Hello! I have a pre existing flock that has a rooster in it. I've read all about adding young chicks to a flock but I've found nothing on if anything changes if a rooster is a part of the flock. I'm pretty sure they can hold their own to the hens but they are still not full grown so I'm worried...

    I was planning on letting them free range during the day since I have the land to do it and my chickens seem to love free ranging.

    Rooster being mean to hens

    I'm thinking that although I have grown fond of him it might be the best choice for my girls to get rid of him. However I'd like to have a rooster in with my girls for the possibility of fertile eggs and the protection he adds. How would you guys recommend doing this? Is there any way to tell if...

    Eggless broody??

    Is it possible for a hen to go broody over other hen's eggs? My buff orpington seems to be sitting on everyone else's eggs and seems to be acting "broody". She recently has stopped laying for unknown cause, I'm wondering if this could be the reason why she's stopped laying? Thanks

    Rooster being mean to hens

    I wouldn't say they are less friendly at all but two of my hens just seem to be acting down a little.
