    Trying out a broody Hen. How many eggs?

    I think all and all your nest looks fine. Those broody girls can be stubborn. I have my first ever broody sitting as well, but I will share what worked for me. Set up the location for a move. Wait until dark, and move your girl to her new, secure location then. Try to make sure it's somewhere...

    Moving a broody?

    This! Our nest box was a freebie that was given a facelift. Sadly, nothing easily movable will fit inside, and they themselves are a set of 3 and cannot just be moved. Future nest boxes will have this is mind though, and will be fabricated accordingly.

    Moving a broody?

    I have a speckled Sussex who is on day 4 of sitting.

    Speckled Sussex 15 weeks Pullet or Roo

    Thanks all! I honestly thought this lady was a roo at first because she started developing a comb and more adult feathers before her sister. But then, I started to wonder so I thought I would ask all of you lovely folks, who are always super helpful. Unfortunately we lost her sister and 8 other...

    Speckled Sussex 15 weeks Pullet or Roo

    I'm that person. Pullet or Roo? My other rooster is very obviously a rooster, but I feel like my S.S. were slower to develop and since I lost one of them at 3 days old, I'm not sure on this ones gender.

    No oats for our chickens!!

    New Country Organics uses oats in their grower and layer feed, whole I believe. I think they grind them for starter feed. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I am planning to mix my own feed once I get all of my chicks past the starter feed stage. I have been mixing a bit of whole oats and barley...
