Quote: She is the only one having a problem. WHen I pick her up and take her outside to free range I normally hold and pet her for a little bit. She is definately my baby. I can feel her shivering. I definately don't want to do anything that would hurt her and am scared to take the heat...

Quote: She is very tiny. She was the runt of the litter. She gets cracked corn every night as their treat. We throw it out in the "human" yard and she runs around scrathing and fiding it. She has a full little crop every night. If I have to bring her inside I can certainly do that. Her...

Quote: I'm not sure about the broody thing. She used to lay her egg in the corner where her box is now. I haven't been getting an egg in her little box and since I have 23 hens i don't know if she is laying in one of the nest boxes. Does she have to have an egg under her to go broody? This...

I wasn't sure where I should put this, but this is where I normally post and answer question's. If it should be moved that's ok! I have 3 roo's...1 EE, 1 GLW, and 1 Sulkie. All three have been nice to me and my DH, especially the Sulkie, but they r being mean to the girls and I don't like it...
