    Broody Hen Expiry Date??

    Hey everyone, just wondering if there is a limit as to how long you can let a hen be broody for before putting eggs under her. Was just thinking about it today. Several chook books I have say to leave a hen for at least a week to actually make sure she is broody and it got me thinking if there...

    Pullet acting strange, is she sick???

    Good news She has stopped sleeping on the floor at night and she hasn't just wandered off by herself in a while... I think I know what may have been the problem too...I changed the waterer because the other one had cracked on the bottom and dirt was getting in as the water leaked out. i...

    Plants

    I know they love to peck at broccoli and the millet spray. Anything leafy tends to attract some attention too.

    Pullet acting strange, is she sick???

    Hmmm good point. I think I might see if there is any other way to resolve a potential worm infestation without going to the vet. The one in my area is very expensive and if it is something I can solve myself, then I'd prefer to do that. But certainly, if she doesn't fix up soon I might not have...

    Pullet acting strange, is she sick???

    I wouldn't say so. She is still laying, and she doesn't fluff up when she is on the nest like the others do when they're broody.the secluded spots she finds for herself aren't exactly very well concealed ones or dark either. It's mainly the sleeping under the roost that is worrying me most. I...

    Pullet acting strange, is she sick???

    In the past few days I have noticed one of my girls behaving a little odd. During the day she keeps finding a secluded spot and just sits there for up to an hour and also at night, she has decided to sit under the roost instead of on it. The number of eggs she has laid has dropped off in this...

    Chicken with blood on eggs

    Is it just like a slight smear or is it actually liquid?

    Have you ever had a group of chickens that's just smarter than the rest?

    My Ancona has found a way to prise open the compost bin both the lid and the slats on the side. Not only that, but once a rat had made a nest in there and she dug it out and ate all the little pinkies....not that i was complaining, was just a little....gross

    Review by '' on item 'Ancona'

    The most attractive aspect of this breed, apart from the pretty feathers, is the large white eggs they lay practically everyday. They rarely, if ever go broody, and providing managed well, can fully moult in a month at the end of the year's laying season. My girl is the boss of my little flock...

    Review by '' on item 'Australorp'

    I find the Australorp is a great breed. They lay good sized eggs almost every day, are relatively tolerant of other birds and interact well with people yet still have the survival instinct to run away from potential predators. Occasionally will go broody but make good mothers. Definitely one to...
