    Housing a broody hen?

    A have a sebright who seems pretty serious about being broody, so I am thinking about giving her some eggs. But I am not sure the best way to go about housing her? i am assuming you need to remove her from the flock, but what are some ideas as a good, easy set up for a broody hen? thanks!

    Paleo Chickens

    ...But I have found with the few foxes and coyotes that we have that having her out when she wants to be has been enough to keep them away. Pyrs are *Barkers*. Not so much if they are inside or if it is daylight, but outside at night she barks and barks. This warns off predators. Also, they have...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    Hey folks, I have an order for chicks from GF coming in tomorrow. I had asked Jenny at GF if their breeding pens all contained some crested and non-crested birds; she replied that all their breeders are crested. With the debate about breeding crested to crested birds I thought this might be...

    Paleo Chickens

    If you are really looking to keep predators away get a good livestock guardian dog. I have a great pyreneese. She is an amazing dog and nothing is going to come in my yard when she is out. As far as breeds.... I don't have a lot of experience with different kinds of chickens but my Swedish...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    I have the exact same experience. My SFHs range all over the pasture and out to the hay field. The forage great. And my poor silkie wanders around lost. They are also very quick to respond when I call for them. They all come running and my poor silkie stands in the middle of the field looking...

    EE ... Cockerel?

    Oh yeah. I am not making any firm decisions yet. They are all only 2 months old. :) He might actually turn out to be a good roo. He is just skitish right now. Doesnt come near people, etc. Which may be a good thing. My SFH cockerels are completely different. They are always underfoot. I...

    EE ... Cockerel?

    Yup. Don't mind having a roo around, but we also have 7 Swedish flower hen cockerels and they are a lore more personable. I just don't think poor Chip is going to end up being my choice to keep.

    Paleo Chickens

    I have a gluten sensitivity and eat mostly paleo to help with that. I don't keep my chicks grain free. I do keep them corn, soy and wheat free. They get oats, milo, millet, sunflower, canary seed. We have a few acres of land, but not a whole lot planted yet. Hopefully in a few years when it is...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    There must be some lines that are more difficult to sex than others. I seem to have gotten ones that are pretty easy. I have 7 with almost no combs and no wattles And another 7 with big red combs and wattles. So a pretty good split on sex.
