    Feel Like I'm Failing :-(

    My 2 cents: The number of hens per roo really depends on your roo. If he's a nice roo, he will be nice to his hens no matter how many there are. If he's a rough roo, he might be rough with his favorite hens, whether that's just two of them or 8-10 of them. I had a super nice roo (until he got...

    A blessing and a Curse

    Haha... I'm exactly the same way!! I work in the medical field and as I've gotten experience with humans, that's what made me chill out in the long run. I KNOW what I'm looking for with the people sicknesses I specialize in. I'm new to chickens and when they sneeze, I worry it's Marek's, too...

    respiratory problem? Mareks? Pox? Nothing at all?

    Well, I have way too many babies coming up to not know, so I took a bird in yesterday to the UNH veterinary diagnostic lab. I REALLY hate having to sacrifice a bird for that, but if it's something serious, I want to know. Anyway, the pathologist said she would call me by late afternoon if she...

    respiratory problem? Mareks? Pox? Nothing at all?

    I went to a chicken show a month or so ago... one of the birds that went with me came back (not sold). Although he was not put back in a pen with the rest of my chickens, he was in a pen nearby. He went to another home a few days later and that person contacted me to tell me he was sneezing. She...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Need advice.... So my 7 month old hen hatched out 9 eggs. The chicks are about 4 weeks old now. It seems she has stopped mothering them as far as I can tell over the last few days. I don't see her spending time with them. She used to stay with the chicks instead of going out to free range with...

    Should I move her?

    ...would not leave her eggs for anything. She pooped right where she was and I would just reach in once a day and clean it out. She pooped on her eggs *I think* just one time. So I picked the poopy eggs up at least once and very gently rinsed them under warm water. People have since told me not...

    Anyone with experience flying with eggs???

    Well, reporting back with some success. Carried the eggs on with a toddler and a puppy. TSA made me x ray them. Then I missed my flight and spent the night in my connecting city and they got x rayed again the next day! Happy to report that 7/12 silkies hatched (8/12 went into lockdown). And it...

    Which chickens are laying?

    You can also dab a bit of food coloring on their vent that will come off on the egg. Then you know who belongs to what egg.

    if a chicken goes broody one year what is the chances of it going broody the year after?

    How often do hens go broody? I have one raising 9 of her own babies right now. She went broody at 7 months old and hatched her own babies. Are there tricks to get hens to go broody?
