    Is this normal

    It looks completely normal to me. They've got their pretty little feathers coming in. It can look odd since their feathers generally come in patches, instead of everywhere at once like you might expect.

    Every chicken broody?

    They're broken of it by now, I'm just still wondering about the Leghorns and such that aren't supposed to go broody. The old one is a very willing to go broody at any opportunity, so the one time I wanted chicks raised I had no issue with a foster mother. :plbb

    Every chicken broody?

    Which breeds of yours are going broody? The solution I'm using is since none of them are laying, I'm blocking off the nesting boxes. It's working, as expected, but I guess you can't do that if not every single one is broody.

    Every chicken broody?

    I've had chickens for about six years now, and, I've had several broody hens. It's not exactly hard to tell when a hen is broody. They lay more than usual, then stop and spend all day in the nesting box, hissing and making dinosaur noises when another chicken nears, and they develop a brood...

    To Cull Or Not To Cull: Advice Appreciated

    Could we get some pictures? Chickens always seem to recover surprisingly well from injuries. If there's internal damage, she'll probably pass on her own. If there isn't, she should recover well. I would give it some more time to see if she continues to improve.

    What breed are these ducklings

    I've only ever seen Pekins at Tractor Suppy, and those look the part, so that's my guess.

    Can I feed baby chicks bread?

    x2 Also note that bread can give birds impacted crops. A hard-boiled egg is usually fine for sustaining them for a bit in a pinch.

    Can Pigeons be Kept With Quail?

    I don't raise pigeons, but it's never bad to give fewer birds more space.

    Introducing a new cat to chickens

    Thanks for the advice. The cat is now outdoors, and likes sitting on top of the coop/run tunnel and watch chicken TV. That's actually quite cute. There's really only one chicken I'm worried about, a Silver Leghorn who's the smallest of the group. I've been told by others on here who also own...

    Chicken acting broody but isn't broody

    Some just do it more than others. It's a sure bet that my buff Minorca will act nasty when nesting, but none of my Leghorns ever care.
