    Increasing Estrogen in Hen due to Gender Dysphoria Disorder?

    I am positive this bird is female, as she has laid eggs previously. No eggs anymore though. I appreciate your response. My question is: does becoming a 'protector' mean the hen has to give up egg production? Good to know. Typically, when female acts as the 'protector' due to no male...

    Increasing Estrogen in Hen due to Gender Dysphoria Disorder?

    I thought a hen being broody was also natural, and people often "fix" it by breaking her. I was wanting to check to see if I could feed her more of something to rebalance her hormones. I am not trying to subvert natural tendencies, just want my sweet hen back. :) The bird is 8 & 1/2 months old...

    Increasing Estrogen in Hen due to Gender Dysphoria Disorder?

    Howdy. I may have a hen that suffers from Gender Dysphoria Disorder. I want to try to increase her estrogen levels to see if that fixes her transgender desires. I recently rehomed a rooster and she may feel the need to fill his place. Any natural remedies to this? i.e. a veggie? Any pre-fab...

    Wait, isn't a cockerel a young rooster? Yours stands up nice and tall like a typical rooster. Beautiful chicken!

    Sexing 7.5 month old Silkie

    Ok thanks. He or she doesn’t stand tall... always low to ground like my hens. I can keep him as long as he or she don’t crow! I love that chicken. Just drives me crazy not to know.

    Sexing 7.5 month old Silkie

    Thanks. I agree, very likely. Is it possible for roosters not to crow? I rehomed 2 roosters 4 months ago. Maybe he hasn’t “assumed their place”? This one is skittish.. not dominant.

    Sexing 7.5 month old Silkie

    Is it possible for it to be a roo if it doesn’t crow? I think it could be roo too... but it doesn’t crow. My hen is louder. My hen doesn’t have all that stuff on neck or beak though. This possible roo is very skittish. Not Dominant.

    Hay or Pine shavings???

    Slightly off topic, but I loved your article on coffee grounds in the coop. I currently use hemp but this sounds like a much cheaper alternative. May have to consider.

    Hay or Pine shavings???

    Hi! Hope you are doing well. My chickens do occasionally dust bathe in the sand. My run is raised above the ground so it has good drainage and the sand is almost always dry. BUT, my chickens much prefer the mulch. Hope this helps. :)

    Hay or Pine shavings???

    @babyblubbs - my silkies LOVE their hemp bedding... odor free. I have sand in their run so I can clean with litter shovel but they also like to dust-bathe in my mulch beds when free-ranging.

    Caught my Silkie's Swimming!

    Well, that explains it! I am going to need to brainstorm ways to keep my Easter Eggers out. They are certainly not going to be light.
