    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    I guess this isn’t really even an issue. My hens are actually trying to a beat him up instead. So 🤷‍♀️. I guess that’s an uno reverse on the situation

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    She already started being broody. So if I move her will she still sit on the eggs in a new setup?

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    I can, but with the price of chicks and hatching eggs, I’m trying to get him to breed with my available hands so I can have more chicks because I haven’t really been able to get any this year

    Released a Roo in a coop with broody hen

    Hey guys! So I have a rooster I have been trying to integrate into a flock. He is on his first day and doing well. However I realized during this process, he’s been released into a coop with a broody hen that he has never seen and she has never seen him. Is this going to be an issue? Will he...

    Too or hens?

    I have had these guys for a while. They seem to be hens but have some pointy feathers. I’ve not heard them crow. But there are just some things that make me wonder. Both are from a barn yard mix. The photos with the red marks are one chicken and the blanks are another. Also I spilled food on...

    Quail behavior

    Thanks for the info! This is what I have noticed in only her unfortunately. She is very young. And it’s winter so they are not laying much right now due to lack of daylight and the colder months. The over breeding is a contributor to the prolapse (confirmed by avian vet) I have tried to...

    Quail behavior

    Yes they get a great diet! And you’d be surprised. Since they were only two together it’s a greater possibility than you think. She is the only one with this issue unfortunately.

    Quail behavior

    I just basically wanted to know if butchering the male she grew up with and was bonded with previously would upset her and she would try to find him or die or a broken heart.

    Quail behavior

    Hello! I am a novice to quail raising but love it. I have a small flock but I am starting to raise larger flocks to butcher. About 2 months ago I was at my local feed store and they were selling a bonded pair of quail one male and one female . They have been integrated into the rest of my...

    Bump on pullet beak.

    I have a pullet that hatched in September. I’ve never had this. I just was wondering if anyone knows what this is or how to deal with it. It could just be her anatomy, but I’ve never had a hen with this. My concern is that she was injured through the fence when either an owl or raccoon came...
