    Broody? or eggbound?

    i'll have to check tonight. she's in there when I go out around 7pm and in there in the morning when I check on them at 7am and of course, throughout the day. i did remove the wooden eggs and take out any other eggs as soon as i see them.

    Broody? or eggbound?

    Not sure but I think my hen is broody... she's a light brahma a little over a year old. She's in the nesting area a lot but no egg. I had to place some wooden eggs in the nesting boxes due to accidental egg eating. One of my other JG's was laying thin eggs and I think an accidental broken egg...

    Quote: Great idea for all my extra newspapers... I'm also one of those crazy couponers so I accumulate newspapers pretty quickly and just stick them in the recycling bin but I have a shredder and could easily use them in the nest boxes in place of the hay/straw or in my garden.

    dead mouse in the nest box

    Quote: Well it was the nest box that one of my JG girls seems to be hiding out in (or she's broody, haven't figured this out yet) so maybe she smothered it? hmmm... I do leave feed out but haven't noticed a mouse issue. Maybe I'll start just feeding them in the morning and at night what they...

I went out this morning to check on my chickens and in one of the nest boxes was a very small dead mouse. Would one of the chickens killed it? I've never noticed a mouse problem since I've...

    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    I'm still fairly new to owning chickens and have a quick question regarding a couple of Jersey Giant girls I have. I already had an established group of 4 lt brahma girls when I purchased 2 JG pullets late summer and am wondering are the JGs typically quiet birds? I go out there to visit them...
