    Broody killed chicks

    Aww. That's a shame. Will you let her try it again? I just did the same with one of my hens. I let her keep one egg. I had a fear of that happening. I'm sure that was heartbreaking for you.

    Broody needs to poop!

    i have a broody hen who just hatched her first chick. I separated her and brought her in the house after hatching Bec The set up that we have I was worried the chick would get out the coop door and not be able to get up the steps. So my question is. They have been inside for two days now. And no...

    Droppings board?

    I was wondering what everyone uses in their droppings board. I know a lot of people just use the board and scrape it. I was planning on using the kitty little scoop method and wanted to know the best "sand" to use in it. Thanks guys for any info/suggestions.

    Is it normal to no molt?

    Is it normal to no molt?

    I had originally thought the extent of the feather loss was due to too many roosters. But they have been separated for almost a month now and I have noticed more loss on two since then. Thankyou very much. Your info eased my mind a bit. The feather loss is fairly bad in my opinion. I will just...

    Is it normal to no molt?

    Well one is a buff orphington and the others are a mix that my cousin hatched and kind of dumped on me so the breeds are questionable. I got the orphington in the spring as biddies lost all but her and the rooster to a coon. The others were hatched a few months later.

    Is it normal to no molt?

    I have had our chickens for almost a year now and it's winter time now. Mine have not molted, egg production is great but is it normal for them to not molt at all? Also half my hens are bald on their little heads, parts of wings and sides due to mating. We had too many roosters but have since...

    Won't leave coop!

    She was inside about a month. She had a pretty bad wound. The flocks were not together pre attack. There is one rooster remaining from her original flock. She does fine with that one. I tried to introduce her by letting them mingle in the yard. Previous they were separated but right next to each...
