    Broody or Bust: Can You Handle a Sitting Hen?

    Broody Boss. My little Phyllis has been broody for like 2 months now and won't stop- even if she isn't laying on any eggs. She thinks that I'll let her this time because she has hatched chicks for 2 years in a row now. Last year, along with Rose and Dottie, and the year before, she co-parented...

    Talkinboutchickens' butterfly/caterpillar thread🦋🐛

    Currently, I have 10 chrysalides (one of which I believe is infected with a parasitoid wasp), 3 monarch caterpillars, 13 black swallowtail caterpillars, and God only knows how many milkweed tussock caterpillars! They feed in groups so I probably have like 40+.🫢😬

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Those are some beautiful yolks! What feed are feeding them? Just curious, because one time I switched my flock of hens and roos to all-flock after reading the harm the extra calcium can do that's in the feed. I was providing crushed oyster shells on the side, but one of my girls was not eating...

    She is definitely a hen, at least I think so. Leghorn hens have abnormally large combs and wattles that can make them be confused with leghorn roosters. Some hens may act like a rooster when there is not one in the flock. Or, she may just be sort of aggressive. These are just my thoughts.

    She could definitely be a mix! Not part white leghorn though I don't believe. She looks a lot more like a white plymouth rock to me, or at least part white rock. Especially her build. Her face in the first pic looks like that of a cornish. That first pic though could be entered in the calendar...
