    Broody Orpington

    Help. My Orpington had sat on a clutch for 10 days when she left to stretch some hens got in and broke the eggs. She was really upset, but is sitting on a new clutch now for 2 days. When I looked at her today, her comb is pale and droopy is this normal. I got the big nasty stinky broody poo...

    Rooster Keeps Attacking me!

    In response to this. My rooster was never aggressive towards me, until we went away for a few days. I left my son in charge of them. He's not as diligent as I am with being attentive.
