Hen picking on her 2 chicks!
My broody hen hatched out a chick the other day and I decided I was going to buy more for her to adopt. She took them fine and now I have her in a big chicken tractor with 5 chicks. The chicks I bought were 2 weeks old so they're a little bit older than her chick. She took 2 of them fine but she...- Darren Leonard

Odd Light Sussex Rooster?
My hens aren't laying ATM but they are the right age. I think it's because of my dog but my dog doesn't go near them since like last week. My hens are all on layer feed with crushed outer shell free choice. But I will buy a bag of grower feed tomorrow for the rooster. Thanks for your help you...- Darren Leonard

Odd Light Sussex Rooster?
If I breed him will the chicks be light Sussex? What's an impure for silver? Is it to much trouble to keep him away from the rest of the flock till he matures? Can I keep my 3 new hens in with him once I build a big wooden box? I have a second coop and it's 4.5 foot by 4 foot. It's right beside...- Darren Leonard

I originally had 6 hens but today I bought 3 extra hens. The rooster I bought separate from a different person. My six original hens I've only had for 4 weeks. This is my first rooster. I just added him and the 3 new hens to the flock when I got home- Darren Leonard

What about at night time? Will he sleep in with them? In a few days I'll have another coop ready and I'll just keep him in there. Will that be to late?- Darren Leonard

Odd Light Sussex Rooster?
So today I went to a poultry fare for the second time and decided to buy a rooster and more hens. I currently have 9 hens and a rooster. The guy said the rooster would be mature enough for breeding after Christmas. I came home and introduced him to my existing 6 hens and he was shivering and the...- Darren Leonard
