She was just over a year and she went into a broody mood about a month or so ago which she did come out of. I feel there is plent of share but they love to roam around the yard and that is sunny most of the day. They hide or the bushes and behind the shed and sit under the chairs for shade. I...

One of my chickens for no apparent reason just died. She laid an egg for me yesterday and was out this morning and i just found her dead. The other 3 birds are fine walking around doing the normal business. Does this happen? Is there anything I should worry about?

Thanks everyone Lucy broke her broodiness and is happy again.

I took her out last night and she was good this morning so maybe it worked. If it happens again i will try the bags of ice. Sorry about your leg good luck and thanks again for the advice.

They did they say on top then right next to her. We let her out last night and she seems to be better so far thanks for everyones help.

Funny thing is we put a frozen water bottle under her and she stayed right on top of it till is wasnt frozen any more. Lol This picture is of her being kept seperate i think the other hens miss her.

Thanks She is really annoyed at me and the other hens keep sitting with her. She still is pacing but calmer today

I have posted already today and want to check with anyone on how to introduce 3 new chickens that will be coming soon to my Buff Henrietta. I got another Buff and 2 Australorps. Can't I just let everyone out and run around as soon as I get them? Should I put them in the coop so they know where...

Yes the raccoons figure out how to open the nesting box but we put a lock on it so this will not be an issue any more. I should have the new chickens in the next week. Thanks for the reply. Suzanne

Here is a picture of my Henrietta.

Thanks for the reply. Henrietta is the queen and the protector she fought to protect her sisters. I let everyone roam free around the backyard, I should just let them run all together to get to know each other?
