    How many chickens can you put in jail at one time?

    These 2 are actually sisters, so get on fine together, but also questions if they should be kept together.

    How many chickens can you put in jail at one time?

    At the beginning of this week I had 5 out of 6 broody chickens. 1 was in jail, the other 4 decided to follow suit but I didn't have anywhere to put them so just blocked of their nest boxes and they slept on the floor of the coop. The 1 in jail is now out on good behaviour after 4 days. 2 of...

    Broody Hen Not Stopping

    I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems! I currently have one in jail whose been in for 4 days now (the others only take max 48 hours and are cured) with another 3 that are also broody, but have nowhere to put them so I have blocked their nest boxes. Therefore they are sitting on the...

    Chicken's nail has come off and is bleeding, what do I do?

    No, not got anything like that. Ive just been and had another look and it's still bleeding. I can see what looks like the tip of nerve maybe?

    Chicken's nail has come off and is bleeding, what do I do?

    My chicken is in jail and has been put in the shed. I noticed fresh blood and somehow she has ripped her nail off and it's now bleeding. I don't know what to do. Attached are a couple of pics.

    Should my chicken have to got to jail twice in 4 weeks?

    3 out of 6 of my chickens went to jail about 4 weeks ago for 48 hours and came out fine. At the start of this week one has been in the next box all day again so sent her to jail and let her out this morning, although she did lay an egg just before she was released! Now a second chicken is...

    Sleeping in the nesting box

    I had a new flock and had the same problem. Blocked the nest boxes up to start with and they started to roost on their own. They were about 16 weeks old when I got them. Took time but they got the hang of it.

    Chicken comb

    So my chicken went to Jail for 2 days and has now been let out on good behaviour. She was out all day yesterday and went back into the coop last night but I closed the next boxes off just in case. However, when opening up this morning we had 2 eggs, but one very soft and discoloured...

    How can you tell which chickens are laying?

    We have 6 chickens and are currently getting 3 or 4 eggs a day. How do you tell which chickens are laying? As we are on lockdown myself and kids are keeping an eye out for which chickens are going into the coop to lay during the day but we always find that when our backs are turned there's an...

    Chicken comb

    I have a wood shed next to the coop so could put her in there over night and take her out in the morning.

    Chicken comb

    If I do this, should I let her mix with the other chicken at night in the coop or still keep her separate?

    Chicken comb

    Thanks for your reply! I think it was cecal poop as your description was quite correct! I think I am worrying over nothing but you never know. My other silkie cross is currently broody. Do you have any advice as to what I should do with her. I normally leave her to get over it on her own...
