    Ideas on how to coax a broody hen, Plz.

    Hiya Friends, I was hoping to get some ideas on how to entice a hen who's about to go broody to a specific nesting site that is away from my main 8 nest boxes (way to high off the ground.) I currently have 3 broodies in these set of 8 Nest boxes. However, they have been broody for a while and...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    Yea I noticed that too! She was a very pretty color and as the Summer went on she started to get a bit dusty colored. Chickens usually molt after there first year right? Well Wisteria isn't even a year old yet. But I heard that after brooding they will go into a molt, I wonder if she will since...

    Awe thanks! I really like them too! This is my first time owning Lav's but they are slowly becoming one if my favorites. I did have two but lost one due to laying issues. I definitely want to ad more. I'm very partial to the Lavender/Grey color of them. Some say it's boring...but I think its...

    Wisteria, Expecting Mamma. Hatch-A-Long

    Here some pictures! I let them enjoy the nice weather yesterday. And Amanita had to come see the babies. She is one of the biological mothers that so gladly donated an egg for Wisteria to hatch 😅

    Official BYC Poll: How do you name your pet chickens?

    I suppose there isn't really much to the naming of my birds. Except that I have a theme of naming after plants,trees, and a few randos like Blanch and Pidgy 😅 I am on this tree and mushroom trend though. I let my Lav Orp (Wisteria) hatch out one of my Black Australorp eggs (Amanita) so I was...

    Wisteria, Expecting Mamma. Hatch-A-Long

    It's ok we all get busy! Yes it was somewhat of a bummer. The first one I take full responsibility for. I feel awful. The second idk it just was taking forever to hatch and maybe she just wanted to focus on those that hatched?? I'm very happy how well she is taking to them being a first timer...

    Wisteria, Expecting Mamma. Hatch-A-Long

    Hahaha I'm trying to. It's been chilly out so she is keeping them stuffed under her. Even to the point where she gets closer to the food and water and they just poke there little heads out from under her to eat/drink. It's adorable. I will get some pictures!

    Wisteria, Expecting Mamma. Hatch-A-Long

    So I lost two out of the 4. Mamma rejected one that I think was taking to long to hatch. Found it thrown out of the nest and wasn't even dried out. But the other two are still doing great. The two little Barnevelder/Black Australorps crosses are apparently the ones. They're super cute and look...
