    Broody hen question

    I have heard that a broody hen who can't figure out her nesting box and moves still can be a great mom. And yes I would give her a egg to sit on a day or two and it would hatch from other broody moms. She is a buff Orpington. Also has anyone seen co parenting with two hens? I do have to admit I...

    Broody hen question

    Hi. I have 3 broody hens right now and one of them have raised chicks before so I know she is a good mom. She is sitting on 8 eggs in a different coop (the good mom). Two other hens are broody and one won't go back to her eggs and they get cold. She will sit on air all day. We took her eggs away...

    Having issues with the thought of culling roo

    We have tired everything! Not working. He was given to us at 2 weeks of age and never was picked up by a human. He has always been scared of us even though we tried holding him.

    Having issues with the thought of culling roo

    The Hen has always had laying issues.... also she is only 14 months old. The rooster has to go. I dont want to give him away so someone else can eat him or enter him in a cock fight. Craiglist is not a good option! We need to cull him.... we have two baby roosters that are going to take his place.
