    Advice on hen and chick?

    I had a broody that's been sitting on 2 eggs. Yesterday one hatched. Another hen killed and ate it. I've temporarily blocked access to the set of nesting boxes that mama is in with the remaining egg. I plan on relocating her until this chick (if it hatches) is at least a few days old, if not...

    Rooster and Young Pullets Behavior

    This is Colonel. He is my head guy. His current crew are 6 BO pullets and my other rooster,Popeye. They all are around 12 weeks and have been raised together. So the pecking order drama is over for the most part. This is my flock of 3 BSL, 3 BR and 3 SLW. These girls are about a month younger...

    My Coop; A Process

    Hi everyone! It's been a while. I've been busy finishing the coop and run plus moving and my daughter graduated high school last night. So my flock of 8 BO have been in the coop for about 2 or 3 weeks and seem to be very happy. They even put themselves up at night, which is awesome since all I...
