Hi guys..I have a question hopefully I can get some advice on.. I had one of my New Hampshires go broody around Thanksgiving. I tried in vain to stop her but she just continued going and staying in the nest box in the coop. So I kind of gave up and figured I'll just put some eggs under her and...

Thanks in advance!! I'm just a worry wart..I got these little gals from Cackle Hatchery as a Pullet special..Just wondering if you guys can take a look and see if any look suspect of being a boy based on their coloration and appearance..I appreciate it! I'm still trying to learn about EE's and...

I just needed some advice and I feel a bit silly, I didn't think it would be like this, but I hatched 17 chicks that are 12 weeks..and my beginners luck blessed me with 10+ roos and counting. So I have decided which ones I want to keep and need to rehome the rest..I have had an ad on Craigs...
