    My favorite chicken is in a brody trance...again!! What to do?

    Thanks for all your advise!! I don't have a rooster so the eggs aren't fertile, should I get a baby chick from the feed store? Will she take care of it in the coop and outside? I'm a newbie at all this!!!

    What is your friendliest Chicken? What breed is it?

    My Light Braham is by far the most tame and friendly...we think she was a lap dog in her previous life!! Always wants attention by being held, loves treats and being around humans in general, she pects at the back door until we come out and give her attention. I think she would like to just sit...

    Behavior question with my SLW chick
