Hi all so I have 2 hens one has just reach POL the other was laying before the introduction of a younger hen and then she went and molted she has all of a sudden gone and sat at the bottom of the roost for the past 24 hours at least I removed her from the spot to just have a look at her health I...
Hi all greetings from sunny South Africa, I really would appreciate some advice, I collected a hen 18 days ago she didn't lay for the first 2 days we had her then daily she laid some great eggs skipping one Sunday thus laid 15 eggs, she decided yesterday afternoon to start going broody sitting...

Hi there hope you have been keeping well? I've changed things up a little and thought I would find out from you what you think of the design used here and if there is any other recommendations from your side regarding the roost?

As you said she doesn't look like any Brahma you know and I'm sure you means with the white tips of the feathers it is odd also why are the new feathers such a strange colour instead of black?
I'm sure you might be a teeny bit of a distance if they both turn out to be cockerels I'm kinda hoping for a pair as they are from different parents I was very happy with the quality of chicks when I purchased these 2 the gentleman who breeds them is very proud of what he does
Honestly I got her from some random person when I saw how she was kept I actually just felt heart broken and wanted to take all the chicks that were there budget was not allowing so I bought her and another off him on the spot, just so they could get a better life the other died of what I...
