I have been on some not yet been 21 days was just curious as to if there was a way to make her want to brood or if she will figure it out on her own eventually.

I have a brand new silkie momma that just started laying for the last 2 weeks. She isn't sitting on them is there any advice anyone can give me.

Amen on teaching a hen a lesson. I got two nasty little girls.

I made the mistake of putting ten week olds with ten month olds. The BB hens (oldest) beat up one of the BRs and killed one of the RIRs. I divided the coop and have had no problems in it. The BBs still chase them when we put food or scraps out, but the RIRs are starting to fight back. I'm hoping...

Thanks bobbieschick. I didn't think so. I got 4 BR's and 4 RIR's free and was told they were 10 weeks old. They probably are that old. Especially since they still talk the way they do.

Everyone I have talked to in person that have actually raised chickens say clip both.

I have 12 week old RIR's and BR's that have been sitting on nest they made. Are they trying to go broody already? They still talk a little baby talk. Not the purrs and clucks like my 10 1/2 month old BB's.

can anyone tell me if these are PR's or RIR. Ty

I do electric for a living. Drop me a line.

I have been seeing this site in more and more articles I've read so I thought I would check it out.
