    To take away or not? That is the question

    Thanks everyone for the advice. This is her first time going broody, and I'm probably tending to be a little more protective this time around. My other hen that went broody last year hatched one chick and a snake got it, so I'm most likely going to move them all into a snake safe enclosure out...

    To take away or not? That is the question

    I have a broody easter egger on a about a dozen eggs. She's been on them for almost 2 weeks. I've got a couple of dilemmas ... First is snakes. She's got them in the nest box that has been frequented by snakes in the past. Second is location. The nest box is about 4' off the ground...

    Epic Stink Eye

    Omg. I laughed so hard when I got this pic in an email of our "Little Roo". He's a beautiful feather-footed blue/red banty roo that has some big britches ... Does he not look like a Decepticon chicken????

    UPDATE with Pic! Hen walking in circles with head at extreme angle

    ...want some special attention, so now I have 18 BFF's and one ticked off rooster that I stole his hens. That is until he gets some mash, too. Titus *begrudgingly* eats it though. Here is my light brahma girl before and after. Whew!! This list is a LIFESAVER - she can attest to that...

    UPDATE with Pic! Hen walking in circles with head at extreme angle

    Well, I went to CVS and got her some Poly vi-sol and gave her some by dropper which she willingly drank. She IMMEDIATELY seemed better and was able to hold her head more upright enough to eat some crumbles and mash. I could only get her to drink very sparingly, so that's when I decided to make...

    UPDATE with Pic! Hen walking in circles with head at extreme angle

    I have some short video I'm uploading to youtube. She evidently does walk backwards as well. (Video shows this). Any thoughts?

    UPDATE with Pic! Hen walking in circles with head at extreme angle

    My light brahma hen has developed these symptoms: Walking upright and balanced in circles, but not in place spinning circles. Big wide ground covering circles at normal chicken moving pace. Her head/neck seems to be at a 90degree angle to her body, definately not upright and she seems to try...

    My Hens Attacked Their Rooster

    Hahahaha..... funny posts!!! Sorry for your roo and I do hope he recovers. Watch who he treats with kid gloves when he's re-established and that's probably your culprit.

    Banty eggs ...

    So what does everyone do with itty-bitty bantam eggs? Make itty-bitty omlets? They would be SO cool as hors'd oeuvre hard boiled bite-sized eggs. Lol.

    Pretty hen, but what kind of hen??

    If not for the tail, I would have said Golden Campine. Maybe a campine mix?

    Refrigerating Eggs.

    I googled: "Here's the difference: in the US, there are laws mandating that (USDA rated) eggs be washed and sanitized before they are sold. This removes a protective membrane that allows for safe room-temperature storage. In other countries, the membrane is not washed off, which is why they're...

    Should I or should I not?

    Is the float test fairly accurate? I thought it was a wives tale. Where in Greenville are you? We're neighbors! Have we met on the board before ... I had a period of a few weeks where I wasn't active ... and once I sleep more than four days in a row without doing something ... I start to...

    Should I or should I not?

    Ok ... I was posed the question ... why don't I let the eggs sit and see if a hen goes broody? My young EE's have started laying eggs in their nest boxes, should I leave them for a few days and see if one decides to collect a clutch to hatch? If I leave them for a week, and she doesn't go...

    Moved banties into the tractor last night.

    Lol. Well, not my Kubota, but a chicken tractor yes. You can see them in the corner, one has wheels so you can move it. Half is an outdoor run (predator proofed) and the other half is an indoor coop with nestboxes, etc ... Basically just re-locatable coops with attached runs. We got...

    Moved banties into the tractor last night.

    I had 5 bantams in the bathroom for way too long. Finally got the tractor ready and moved them in last night. The silkie and ee (not a banty, but too young for the big flock) found the nest boxes and tucked in immediately and cooed themselves to sleep. The golden sebright eventually snuck in...
