    Broody Chicken/Adopted chicks

    That’s just one nesting box of 4 in our hen house, it’s attached to the coop on one side so we can gather eggs without going into the coop. It’s circled in the picture. Should I attempt to put them under her again tonight? I’m scared she’s going to hurt them.

    7 year old is broody for the first time! HELP?!?

    Good luck! I have my first ever broody right now too and she is less than pleasant. We don’t have any fertile eggs either so I am trying the ol switcheroo and got her some day olds to raise. Last night was introduction night but she had kicked them out this morning.

    Broody Chicken/Adopted chicks

    I went out about 30 minutes ago. She had I guess kicked them out. They were down with the rest of the hens. Neither was hurt thankfully. I put them in the brooder for now. I have a wire dog crate I’m planning to put them in inside the chicken coop so mom can hear them like you suggested. This is...

    Broody Chicken/Adopted chicks

    Today was the day! The farm store got a fresh batch of babies today. I waited until 10pm to do the swap. The babies immediately snuggled up to Blanche the Broody. I hung around the henhouse for about 15 minutes listening and heard her doing what I assume is the chicken version of shushing her...

    What breed is Omelette?

    When I first got this little girl from the bantam bin y’all guessed she is an Old English Game but I can’t find any photos online of this color.

    Broody Chicken/Adopted chicks

    Good morning everyone! I have a broody hen that has been sitting for a week. She is currently sitting on 4 eggs. I have no rooster so she’s not actually accomplishing anything. I was thinking of getting 2 babies from the farm store for her to raise. Do I need to wait for her to sit longer before...

    What breed is my bantie?

    I hope that’s the case with mine. I have a Golden Laced Wyandotte bantam that is a picker but she isn’t head hen so maybe she will quit. Otherwise she will be going to chicken jail when I introduce the Silkie and this one until she can act right lol

    First Egg!

    I found our first egg today! It’s from one of my Buff Chantcelers although I’m not 100% sure which one. I think it was arose as her comb, wattles and ear lobes are the most red.

    What breed is my bantie?

    I’d be thrilled if it is actually a silkie. That was what I wanted but settled on this one since they didn’t have any. I bought 2 Silkies together about a month ago but one didn’t make it unfortunately. All of my other chickens are clean legged and I’ve read if one has feathered legs that it’ll...

    Well this one came from Atwoods Farm and Ranch and they get them from Ideal. I even looked on the Ideal website and couldn’t find a match.
