    Broody Girls

    MY broody girls did not have any eggs. A friend of mine gave me two fertilised eggs from her chickens. My girls are now sitting on those. The eggs are due to hatch about 1st July so I am waiting in anticipation to see what happens. If the eggs dont hatch then my girls will have to go into...

    Broody Girls

    I am going nuts with my broody girls. They are still broody and its now been nearly 4 weeks. Ive tried broody jail but I have a question on that. When I put the two girls into broody jail (which they really are not happy about by the way) do I keep them in there overnight also or can I let them...

    Careing for chicks

    Hello, My two chickens Ruby and Betty have been broody for a long time. A friend of mine who also has chickens has given me two fertilised eggs for my girls to sit on.

    broody girls

    My broody girls Ruby and Betty are driving me nuts. It has been over 3 weeks now and they continue to stay hot. Ive done broody jail which they definately object to especially Betty. She gets very frustrated in there. I lock them out of the chicken house every day so they can not go inside and...

    Broody girls

    Hello. I have 3 chickens. 2 silkies and a cochin. One of my silkies and my cochin have both gone broody at the same time. I put them into broody jail but my silkie hates it and the other one is not too keen either. I have been lifting them out of the coop every day and closing it up . They have...

    Bad tempered Betty

    I am still having a problem with Betty. She is at times quite nasty to the little one but not bothered about Ruby my Cochin. Betty pecks at the litle one and chases her around and the poor little thing gets quite scared. Betty is also broody at the moment but still laying an egg every now and...

    Bad tempered Betty

    Betty and the other girls have a free run of the whole garden and their coop is at the back of the garden so they can return to it when they feel. At the moment my cochin Ruby is broody and Betty is late coming out today so I am suspecting she is also broody :/ . I have no photos of the coop...

    Bad tempered Betty

    Betty lays an egg every day at the moment so I guess Betty is female. She is a very very vocal little lady but can be quite mean lately also. I just dont understand why she has began pecking at the little one. She does not challenge Ruby my Cochin as Ruby will stand up for herself but the little...

    Bad tempered Betty

    I have 3 chickens Ruby (cochin) and Betty and Brownie (Silkies). I bought Betty and Brownie at the same time from the same batch of chickens. I have had them now for 4 months and all 3 chickens have got on well until today. Betty has become very angry and keeps attacking Brownie who is a lot...

    bonding new peeps and adjusting

    Thankyou for your advice. Ruby has the run of the whole garden but my new peeps who have been renamed Penny and Poppy have some fencing dividing them from Ruby. However they continue to hide under a bench in their pen even though Ruby can not get to them even if she wanted to. However, at night...

    bonding new peeps and adjusting

    Hello my fellow chicken owners. I need some advice. Lots. My Silkie Margo died which left Ruby alone and sad and missing Margo terribly. Yesterday we bought two new Silkies, Winnie and Sally. We put them into the coup last night with Ruby and all seemed well. However this morning when we let...
