    Hen adopting chicks

    My hen hatched her first chick over the weekend!! Out of 12 eggs... Only one! But being her first time I'm thrilled! I also have eggs in the incubator that hatched/hatching now. What are the chances I can sneak these chicks under her? She's doing great with the one she had! Any tips?! Thank...

    Pattern of broodiness

    I have a Barred Rock that I think maybe broody or is starting to become.... Just a quick question.... does a hen gradually become broody or is it like a switch (BAM! I'm broody!!) ??? I want to get some eggs and don't want to get them if she's not. She was on the nesting box last night...

    Pecking order vs nasty roo

    My flock is now 9 weeks old. I have an EE that had started to show a mean side. He's the only one crowing at this point and is definitely bigger than any of my other chickens. I believe I could have a total of 3-4 roosters in a batch of 11 including him. At what point is the bigger one just...

    breaking a dog from chasing chooks

    I've really worked with my dog and being nice with the chickens... I'd never leave her alone with them, BUT she does walk around and lays with them now without any problems while I'm around. It's taken a couple weeks to get here. In the dog world, who eats when is a big deal. The leader eats...
