    It's addicting. I started out with 5 Buff Orpington chicks, picked up 2 more Rhode Island reds, traded my beautiful but crowing rooster Cooper for another buff orpington pullet, and gained a lavender orpington. Incubated some of Coopers babies from my fancy lady hens. Now, we have 5 buff...

    Broody Hen Hatching Newbe

    Last update: Meep just couldn't recover. She passed away last night after many attempts to warm her and feed her water or food. The other egg in the incubator stopped growing too. Oddly enough though, I pulled off about 6 brown lice bugs that were on Meep. I checked all my other birds, no lice...

    Broody Hen Hatching Newbe

    UPDATE: OH MY GOODNESS! So we were putting the door on our Brat Pack Coop so that our 12 chicks (who are 3 weeks old) could be in their coop, away from my Fancy Lady hens (older flock) when all of a sudden, a baby falls (2 ft) :thdown to the ground from the nest where my broody hen was sitting...

    This is my first time having a broody Buff Orpington sitting on 4 eggs. Today is the day they should hatch, do I need to put out some chick starter? Do I need to put momma and babies in a separate coop.

    What do I call my chicks?

    Raise them up until they crow and then sell them. I can't have crowing roosters in our city limits. I've got b*tchy neighbors.

    I can't wait to see what they'll look like fully feathered. I'll bet you anything they'll be good laying hens.

    What do I call my chicks?

    I'm 6 months into owning my 1st chicken flock. 5 Buff Orpington Pullets, 1 Buff Orpington Cockerel, 1 Lavender Orpington, 2 Rhode Island Red Pullets. We had to get rid of our Cockerel due to the crowing. So we found a lady who will home him for us, so that we can use his stud service. So my...

    Really? I will have to go check it out. It's been probably 20 years since I've been out there. Heck, I was still going to Anderson Middle School. =)

    I heard Epperson's is a good place to sell any unwanted roosters or to get aged pullets. Why is it not good to get birds there?
