    Broke Broody Hen, How Long Before She Lays Again?

    I'm not sure how much of a technique it is. Her "nest" is in the yard. She doesn't like the nest in the Eglu, even though I have tried putting fake eggs and real eggs in there. I had to put her back in her run every day when I went to work, so I picked her up off the nest and put her in the run...

    Broke Broody Hen, How Long Before She Lays Again?

    If she has a stuck egg would she be able to poop? She's been pooping normally.

    Broke Broody Hen, How Long Before She Lays Again?

    I just took another look around the yard and didn't find any eggs. Before she was broody she layed almost every day.

    Crowing hen?

    I had a Marans hen who crowed in the morning. It does happen sometimes. I had to give her away because I live in town and she was too noisy.

    Broke Broody Hen, How Long Before She Lays Again?

    My Wyandotte went broody a few weeks ago. I managed to break her of her broodyness, but she hasn't layed an egg since. It's been over a week now. How long does it usually take for an ex broody hen to start laying again?

    Noisy Hen Problems -Update

    Update to the update. Molly has really settled down as of this morning. Aside from a few outbursts the yard is blissfully quiet. I've even seen the two chickens standing together peacefully. I'm so relieved that things have settled down.

    Noisy Hen Problems -Update

    Update. I took the Marans back yesterday after work and brought home a nice quiet Cochin. Molly is freaking out. She is calling out at the top of her little lungs. My roommate had to put her in the garage to stifle the noise. I think she misses the Marans. Also, she is chasing the poor new...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    We got one egg Saturday and two on Sunday. The light colored ones are tiny, and the dark brown one is medium sized. Not positive which is which, but my guess is the light brown ones are from the Wyandotte and the darker one is from the Marans.

    Noisy Hen Problems -Update

    Hi all, I have two pullets, one is a Copper Marans and the other is a BLR Wyandotte. They are approaching egg laying age. Any day now, I keep saying. Anyway, the Marans is incredibly noisy. She honks nonstop for minutes at a time, all the time. She also crows sometimes. I live in a city, so the...

    Skinny Girls??

    I would like to piggy back onto this question. I have two pullets, a Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte and a Copper Marans. I'm not sure how old they are but their wattles are starting to come in and they aren't laying yet. The Wyandotte is filling out and looking more like a chicken every day, but the...
