    How do you know if a hen is broody?

    I'm new to chickens, and Saturday we got some one year old Rhode Island Reds. We think one of the hens has gone broody. She burried her eggs in the straw in the nesting box and she's been sitting all morning. Is she broody or something else?

    Putting my chicks with my laying hens?

    Well my mom's thinking they were about a month old when we bought them, and we've had them a month now, so they're around two months old probably.

    Putting my chicks with my laying hens?

    Thank you, they have their feathers, so they should be warm enough, should we just monitor them at first? And go from there?

    Putting my chicks with my laying hens?

    My family are first time chicken owners. We bought a couple of Golden Sex-Links at Tractor Supply, and we recently bought some one year old Rhode Island Reds which are already laying from a friend. Which brings me to my next question: is it okay to put our one month old chicks outside in the...

    Could anyone help me sex my "pet quality" silkie? he/she doesn't have a comb, and probably won't get much of one if at all, and I'd really like to know what I have since I've been calling it a "her" for the past month that I've owned it.

    Pet Quality Silkie

    My silkie is "pet quality" meaning is most likely won't have a topknot. Can anyone help me with sexing it. I keep calling it a she/her but I'm not actually sure I have a female. Any tips on ways I can tell other than waiting until she lays or crows? Her picture is my avatar, and I have more I...

    Silkie thread!

    Thank you! She's beautiful anyway, I hope "she" is a she since that's what I keep calling her, but either way, she's my feather baby. She does in fact have a great personality she's so calm, but can be silly at times, just like me! She's perfect, Thank you, Silkiemomma42[:
