    New hen with chicks

    Well I have a really large coop that should easily house twice the amount of chickens I have, I have a semi large run right next to the coop that I haven't used much as I free range, But I have the new hen and chicks in a smaller coop in the run, But I'm afraid the hen would get bored cooped up...

    New hen with chicks

    I just got a hen and her five chicks as none of my hens were broody and I was wondering how hard will it be to introduce her and her chicks to my other 8 hens and rooster, We're keeping them separate for as few days so she can calm down and settle in, None of my chickens have interacted with...

    Forgot to mention I have buff orpingtons and Ameraucanas which I've heard are more likely to be broody.

    New to hatching

    I've had my chickens for 4-5 years I got them as little chicks and now we got a rooster to try and get new chicks and want to try letting the hens hatch the eggs, But none of them have seemed very broody before, My question is if older birds can become broody after getting a rooster or if we'll...
