    Is My Hen Broody?

    Ok thanks! I've heard of this dog cage method before but never tried. I don't have and roosters so no fertile eggs. sometimes she will sit on make believe eggs even after I've collected them all.

    Is My Hen Broody?

    okay, but just today I took her out of her nesting box and set her outside. She just sat there on the grass. And then, about 5 minutes later, she walks back inside, stopping for a drink and a snack on the way there. I'm pretty sure she is broody now. What can I do to stop it? Another thing...

My good friend couldn't take care of her chickens anymore so we took her in. She wasn't welcome at first but now they get along and live together. Today I...

    Help, Hens or Roo's?

    The first one is definitely a pullet. I'm pretty sure the second one is too but I could be wrong.

    Introducing older hens?

    I can't show you my coop, the pictures won't load. I'll describe it too you as beat as I can. My run is 8 by 13 and my coop is 8 by 3. Inside of the coop, there are two roosts and on the other side there is beating boxes. Could I put them in between in a cage? Would they not be happy? Can I...

    Introducing older hens?

    I ha e one more question, where would I house them if they were to be fenced off in side of the coop? In the coop? Or in the run? Would they need a roost?

    Introducing older hens?

    hello! I'm in a very tough position right now and I would love it if you could help me. So...I have 8, 4 month old chickens and one of them is laying consistently. This is strange for a four month old chicken. We don't know who the culprit is. On the other hand, my friend doesn't want her two...

I'm not so sure how old they are but I think they are coming close to laying. Im not sure what to look for. All of my hens are...

    He or a she?

    hello! I have 8 chickens and they are all different breeds. I am 100% sure that 7 of them are hens but I'm not so sure about the 8th one. I have an Americana. When we bought him/her from the store, there was a 50% chance that I would get a rooster. I'm not sure how old he/she is but if you coul...
