    Broody Hen Wont Drink Water But is eating.

    Well Today I have cleaned out both nesting boxes and the Coop to. I used a safe inscticide to clear out any eggs if there any around the Coop and of course changed both Hay in the nesting boxes. I find it odd that she caught mites as the other 3 hens I own dont have any mites on their skin...

    Broody Hen Wont Drink Water But is eating.

    It was quite a coincidence but she ended up having mites on her neck so I immediately had to move her to a new area. With clean hay, cosy dark enclosure and a dustbath of course. Hopefully DE will clear out thoes mites. I did Put some of the DE on her and rubbed it around her before placing her...

    Broody Hen Wont Drink Water But is eating.

    Wow there's alot i have learned from this. If I want her to hatch chicks I need to Certainly not stress as much as it might affect the eggs developing etc. So Your right, maybe removing her more than twice a day is definitely not a good idea. I'm glad to hear that her poop is normal to. As a...

    How to deal with an agressive hen

    Our hens at 3 months old have currently stoped laying due to the winter months and the cold weather. But I thought they have started to molt their feathers as their are feathers all over the cage. Just suddenly yesterday I noticed one of our quails had blood above their beak and started to...

    Is This normal is some hens?

    I think genetic could be one of the factors of small combs. As she is a warren cross. Not sure what our rooster was, definitely had a crest gene as you can see she has the crest feathers

    Are Warren Hens Suppose to Have Crest Feathers?

    This Hen is 6 Months Old and is crossed since our rooster was mixed breed. The breed of our rooster is hard to identify but he was black and Huge. (Looks to be a Jersy Giant Crossed with Another Chicken) I found it strange becuase Warren Hens at 6 month really don't have the Crest Feathers and...

It infact was smaller than the others but was growing at the same time and would enjoy roaming around with the others and live healthy life. All Quail chicks are at 3 weeks old and seam to be doing Fine as i...

    Duckling Hatch Early and Looks to be struggling to continue hatching

    This is him, I believe he's a cayuga Cross since his legs are fully black and his toes are bright orange. He's doing well so far he gets ust to the other chicks in the brooder who are 5 days older than him and they get along very well.
