When everyone heads in for the night, I'd grab her then and put her in the separate boody coop you have. If the problem continues, you know she's not responsible but if she is the responsible party, I think you already know how to solve that problem.
Good luck to you.
Thanks PaulaJoAnne for that great find on the Gutenberg Project. Have you got any more like that? I'll be saving them to my puter for later perusing?
Must go now though to hang up some clothes on the line.

Hve you read The Untold Story of Milk? The author talks quite a bit about these societies and their traditional diets. Also how when the young people leave and eat the Western diet, they become ill, but regain their health if they return to eating the "old" foods. Very interesting...

That is eating too much carbohydrates. Particularly refined carbohydrates...read pop, chips, kool-aid, sugary snacks, pasta, rice, crackers, baked goods (yes, even homemade ones). Carbohydrates turn to glucose in the body. Too much glucose (normal amount of blood sugar is no more...
Most of you are on the right track. It is very much about eating real food and locally produced foods if at all possible (your own back yard is the best.)
However, it is also more than that. Humans never evolved to eat the things we eat now. Agriculture, meaning the cultivation of grain...
We have a restaurant chain in canada called A&W. I love their commercials. They're always funny without any sexist garbage added to it.
My favourites are the introduction of the new Sirloin Uncle Burger and the one where the trainee accidentally inflates the "burger" for the roof inside the...
Have you considered a rescue organization. I'm pretty sure that a simple google search would hook you up to some breeders and rescue groups.
Good luck and post pics when you get yours.

Uhmmm...I have wyandottes both GL and SL and they are not mean.!! They are independant / feminist minded. Don't be knocking the wyandotte. They may not be the kind of chicken that climbs into your lap for a scratch but they also don't take flack off my roo and are a great free...
Hi Autumn Mama. Try these people. I got my DE from the local feed store. They sell it as a preventative for scours in calves. Should be the same stuff though.

I currently have 2 Barred Rocks that are broody. They are so cute too. My DH thinks they're just faking it because they don't fuss at me or try to bite me when I ask them to stand so I can remove any exta eggs that were laid in their nests. I get gentle clucks from them and they put down...
OK, that one guin-hen (turken) cross looks like a vulture. **shudders** Thank god they're sterile.
Kinda the same situation as a mule which is a horse X donkey.
I'm no expert, but the breeder I got mine from only sells them straight run as he says they can't be sexed.
Far as I know, most people have a hard enough time telling the sexes of the adult birds and you only know you have a female when you hear the "buck wheat" sound that only the females make.
I was thinking that the first one looks like a honeysuckle bush and the rest is a grape vine. Your so luck to have grapes growing wild on your property.
Only thing we get growing wild around here are choke cherries...which actually make a fantastic jelly. Oh, and I have a yellow rose that...
Wow, this is just scarey! If the sexing is correct and she's not able to sell the roos and instead has to cull them that means that she's paid roughly $56 for each pullet.
Kinda puts my $3 - $5 chicks(all sexed rare breed pullets) into perspective as cheap chicks.
OMG Selinagil. This is too funny. I was just looking at your thread. Your keets are adorable. Don't they just have such huge eyes. Sorry though I can't help you with your bantam though.
The guineas were my husbands idea, therefore his problem if they become a problem. I'm hoping not but will cross that bridge when or if I ever get to it. As far as more...hopefully these two are male and female so they can make their own "more".
Cynthia - Thank you for the kind offer of eggs...
