    Help, I have a broody girl!

    Cool,thanks for that info,that helps. If I do allow her to hatch some chicks , assuming she wants to raise them,how long do they need to stay separated from the rest of the flock?

    Help, I have a broody girl!

    How much to feed 6 golden comets?

    Thank You so much for your response, I am a newbie, obviously, LOL, but I want to make sure that I am feeding them properly so they get the nutrition they need since they are still growing "girls".

    Just Starting My Flock

    Just dropping in to say a quick hello, I found the site by search engine and realized that this would be a great site to be a part of. I have learned so much already from all the threads. My husband and I recently bought 6 "baby girls" Golden Comet Pullets from our local feed store, 2 have names...
