How can I get rid of fire ants in my chicken coop ! They are eating all the food that the chickens spill:(

I quess my sweetheart orpington is broody ! This has been going on for two weeks! will she get over this or can I break her of this problem of staying in the coop all day?? Im confused ! Please Help !!!!

should i put one of the other chickens eggs in her nesting box

i dont have a rooster

crickets/ watermellon/mealworms/ and rameon noodles without the juice

get you some crickets and start feeding them by hand /catching each bird and holding them while you feed them ! This will really tame them down

My orpington hen 8-months will not leave her nesting box. she has no egg with her and this has been going on fo 1 week. She ia all puffed up and making a strange sound! is she broody or sick?

thanks to all ! i love these birds ! maybe two much! My wife thinks they are treated better than the children!LOL !

Help ! all my chickens are laying their eggs in the same box! Is this ok ? What do I do to stop it?

thank you every one! I will try the half open mesh first! I didnt know that they would eat those mosquitoes!When i greet my ladies in the morning , mosquitoes try to see how much blood they can get out of me before I leave the coop!!

Will chickens walk through a screen mesh that would keep out mosquitoes out of their coop at night??
