    Overall confused, broody hen, day 25, killing chicks?

    I have a broody hen with NO roosters....nothing will ever hatch, but she is relentless. It's the second time this summer that she's gone broody. Should I break her....close her in "chicken jail" (an additional section of the run that I can close off and they can't go back and forth, although...

    Sick hen- lethargic

    I have a very similar situation. I have an extremely lethargic hen. She was "iffy" last night, lethargic, didn't go running for treats, etc. She (well, all of the flock have no feathers on their butts, some are missing more, except for one...so I know who the culprit is and will put her in...

    frost bite on combs

    I just noticed today that a couple of my "chicas" appear to have "freezer burn" on the some of the tips of their combs. We are in Minnesota and a week ago our temps went down to -26f....now I see this. Would putting vaseline on the tips help with the healing? I've never had this happen before...

    1-3 eggs a day

    I've just experienced the same thing....I have 7 pullets, 2 EE among other breeds. Most started laying about a month ago. One, my sapphire gem, just started this week. This morning I went out and collected 6 eggs, only 1 blue/green....figured the other EE took the day off. After a couple of...

    Comment by 'Mis pollitos' in article 'Reasons for Tossing Out Your Indoor Brooder and Start Raising Your Chicks Outdoors'

    After reading your article I took my new "chicas" outside (at about 2 weeks)...best thing ever. I live in Minnesota. They were(are) protected with plastic all around & heater in there. I was very concerned the first night as the temp went down to 30. They did great! In the future all my new...
