    Broody Hen Thread!

    I need HELP pretty please! I have a small backyard flock of 3 hens. Our hen Applesauce has gone broody. She sat in her nesting box for about a week and seemed very committed. We planned to add another 3 this coming spring so we could do chicks again, but with a broody hen I decided what the...

    Question for all you local peeps....I have three 4 mo girls. Two of them were hatched together and have always been 'budied' up leaving my poor third girl left out and perpetually behind and distressed. So I want to get another chicken to give her a friend. I know it isn't advisable normally to...

    They are about three months old...I took this picture a few days ago, I thought it might help give an idea of their size and your experience with letting them out. Thanks for everyone's input and advice! And We purposely got our puppy at the same time as our chicks so they would grow up...

    Do you guys think my girls are big enough to leave them out FRing. I have been freaked out about cats since about 3 weeks ago when they first went outside I was letting them FR and found a neighbor cat perched on our fence smacking her lips :( So I haven't been letting them out unless they are...

    I had one that did that in the begining and she is now 10 weeks old and strong and healthy. My BF had one in her flock that did it consistently in the beginning too. Do you add unfiltered apple cider vinegar (with the mother) to their water? You can also make a crumble of cornmeal (I would...

    All this talk about breeds got me intrigued. One of our chicks we got as a "mystery" chick LOL. My youngest wanted a "yellow" chick and picked her, he named her Applesauce:) Anyone have any ideas on her breed? She is beautiful, and while she was my panicky "freak" chick, she has grown now, at...

    Should I be worried about cats with my free ranging pullets in suburbia? And what about other predat

    I don't think hawks are an issue here, and yes we have a fully fenced yard, dogs won't be an issue and I don't know why I didn't think about the fact that neighbor cats could get in. I've since left them cooped up except when supervised, they have a run so they are happy enough. I guess it's...

    Hi. we live in a suburb of Portland, OR and I just moved our three chicks, now on their way to chickens, from their brooder into their big girl coop in our back yard. I was hoping to, and have been, letting them free range during the day and then I lock them up safe at night. I know it's...
