Hey there, was wondering if you had any ideas of how to go about cutting your hens nails? i know it seems silly to ask as its probobly a pretty forward answer, but any tips/tricks? Thanks in advance!
So my flock is beginning to lose there feathers as the cold weather approaches, they are becoming a lot more mean to each other one of em is hiding on the perch as one of them keeps going after her. not sure separating them would do anything.its not that bad yet. any recommendations to keep them...
So its that time of year again where the mouse/rats come out. thankfully we dont have to worry about the big city NY rats (ew) but while i was picking the water up to change the chickens water there was a baby mouse underneath it burrowed. of course i screamed. my chickens were oblivious to him...
So the hen i talked about a few weeks ago took a break from being broody.. but shes back at it again. its so weird, shes broody, but whenever she goes to get food and water she puffs up, and everyone pecks her im like that looks so odd oyu'd think she'd defend herself.
So because shes broody, her egg production has stopped temporarily, right? so i shouldnt expect any eggs from her?
Yes, She was mothering a golf ball. crazy girl. lol. shes not mean at all she lets me get the eggs from under her (there not even hers which is the funny part. lol)
Its a possibility but I don't think so. When she moves she does have her feathers flare up. But she is running away from everybody everybody else is pecking her. Which is weird.
My hens been having trouble laying her egg since yesterday afternoon im worrying as earlier i tried to find the problem by looking in the vent i didnt feel any egg, but just the long time since shes laid im worried since its been so long. i saw her in the nesting box at night too.. which...
I'm just worried I made things worse cuz I went looking for the egg in her vent and I didn't feel anything. And still no egg. My uncle said she's been like this since early yesterday afternoon D:
thats the thing, im not sure if shes just having toruble or if i should worry, shes been acting like this since last night, but im not completely sure she laid her egg yesterday i have 5 chickens and i only got 4 eggs i can only assume she skipped but i mean i dont know D: Hopefully she will...
Not sure, i have 5 chickens and i only for 4 yesterday, so i mean she could have missed one yesterday as i found her in the nest late last night so i'd say shes probobyl missed a day already if not, just this going day.
