    oh so many different ages and problems! Help?!

    I've got a broody who is currently nasty, and sitting on eggs that are not hatching because she refuses to lay anywhere but on some mesh. Ive got five 13 day olds, that I bought from a museum farm, and they have been free range with mama until a few days ago when I picked them up. Are they...

    broody hen might be successful and I have some 10 wk olds that need to be introduced.....

    My broody hen is refusing to lay in a nest but instead on some mesh flooring. We assumed that she will be unsuccessful, until I found an egg in my collected eggs ( not the ones directly under her) to be about three days along in the incubation process. So now I am looking at possibly having a...

    One of my two chicks died, do I need to try to find another chick?

    I ended up buying six from the local feed store. I posted on craiglist to see if I could get just one or two but a woman ended up contacting me saying if I found anyone, to let her know. I told her I would just buy six and she can buy one or two off of me. So now we have a barred rock, two...

    One of my two chicks died, do I need to try to find another chick?

    Can I raise a chick by itself? They were together for about a day, but the other was sickly-like, from the get go. Chick A was running around, drinking, eating, etc. Chick B was listless, I tried spoon and syringing some liquid into it's mouth but I think I acted too late and at that point...
