    Broody Hen Thread!

    I just found my first broody of the season!!(We're in Australia so it is just into spring). She is our biggest hen in the flock, our Light Sussex, and I can't wait for her to hatch some eggs. We got our rooster a little over a month ago so the eggs should be fertile. This is my second broody...

    Lice and Mites

    Thanks you so much for this. We have figured that it is probably live. We will probably do something in the next week or so.

    Lice and Mites

    Our chickens have either lice or mites and I was wondering if this is an issue. If it is, is there anything I can do to get rid of them.

    Got a Rooster. But not sure?

    He has already been down to business with the lesser dominant hens but the dominant hens just run straight over and start pecking him when he does.

    Got a Rooster. But not sure?

    He has both hackle and saddle feathers but no spurs yet. When we let them out and he is alone then he will crow, but when he is in the pen with the rest of them he hasn't crowed yet. He is not getting beaten down to much either so hope all is going to be good.

    Got a Rooster. But not sure?

    I'm not sure how old the rooster is but he isn't fully grown yet and the hens have been laying for about a year. It is the rooster that has just been moved into the flock.

    Got a Rooster. But not sure?

    The problems is not only are the hens being aggressive towards him but whenever the dominant hens get close to him, he just up and runs away. It's like they are higher in the pecking order than he is?

    I'm so excited I just got my New Plymouth Rock rooster this morning. I don't think he is pure breed but oh well. This is him now

    Got a Rooster. But not sure?

    So you reckon the longer he is here the better he will get. Whenever one of the dominant hens gets close to him he just runs away.
