    Is it safe to leave my broody hen in the broody breaker outside in the run?

    Thank you, Judy. I suspected that, but wanted to make sure :)

    Is it safe to leave my broody hen in the broody breaker outside in the run?

    Hi there, I have 10 hens and my blue red laced wyandotte, Joy, has gone broody. I put her in an all wire rabbit hutch inside the coop run with food and water, raised up off the deep litter. I tried letting her sleep on the roost with her sisters up in the hen house, but it allows her to...

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    According to their website, that's what it says. Not sure if the quote may be higher where you are due to zoning, but shipping to 21658 on their website offers less than a load shipping. We can always call them to confirm. I suppose a half way point could work. I am about 10 minutes east of...

    Hey from the Eastern Shore of Maryland!

    Thanks, Amber - sounds like things are going well with you and your new flock! Well, except for your little hunter dog, ha! We so wanted a whippet, but we have a cat and knew that would never work. Ultimately, we settled on a labradoodle - who is actually quite the hunter, but not as hard...

    Hey from the Eastern Shore of Maryland!

    Hi Amber! I am on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in Queen Anne's County :) I am still 'lurking' and planning for the most part. I am trying to get into homesteading and in the planning phases. I want to do a cinderblock rasied bed garden and chicken coop. Wonder if you have a garden too /...
