    Conversations with my Silver Sebright hen Willie

    I may be crazy, but I honestly believe that my Silver Sebright hen Willie understands me. I'll ask her a question and she makes a little noise. Or like yesterday when I was talking ABOUT Willie in her presence to my mom but before I could get my full sentence out to express what I was talking...

    can I stop broody hen, if so, how?

    I guess I was mean in how I got one of our chickens to get off her eggs. She was a biter and I noticed that she had one chick to hatch and it was dead. I put on long sleeves, work gloves, picked her up from the nest and threw her out in the yard then closed the chicken house door. The dead...

    Help...I hate my Rooster.

    Our Sebrights lay anywhere from daily to every other day. Bertha, who is probably pushing 5 years old, has retired I believe as far as egg laying goes. I do know that when all those baby chickens are tiny babies, it's not a good idea to sit and swing your foot to watch that tiny chick jump...

    TRAINING CHICKENS TO GO ROOST AT NIGHT ????

    Did you try picking them up and setting them on the roost? I know that sounds simple, but that's how we got our "toddler" chickens to know where to sleep in their new house. To get our house (indoor) chickens ready for bed, I start turning all the lights off in the house & tell them "it's...

    Help...I hate my Rooster.

    Our Three Chickenteers (Silver Sebright roosters) who seem to not be able to do anything alone but have to do everything as a unit, sometimes think they should run up behind us to flog us. What puts the breaks on their attempts at their flogging is for us to turn around and walk toward them...

    This is the strangest chicken I've ever had.

    My little Silver Sebright hen Willie would like to say: Don't all chickens follow people around all day like little puppies? That's what I do! Great passenger btw!!
