    Strange Behavior (I think)

    I have one chicken that won't stop eating eggs every morning. I have only seen her eat one twice, but I've never seen her actually break the eggs with her beak. So I'm not sure if the other chickens are stepping on them and they break, which I've seen before. Or if they are eating them...

    Broody chicken is getting sick! :(

    There are no eggs going be hatched and my other hens only use 1 nest box although we have others for them, so i take the eggs away every day. (we have to rooster so they are infertile eggs.)

    Does anybody have chicken toys?

    The only time I've ever seen my chickens interested in something other than food is when they were free ranging and and threw a baseball across the yard and they all chased it faster than I've ever seen them run. Other that that I just put 1 or 2 old tires in the run and miscellaneous other...

    If I buy a chick, will my hens attack it?

    That's the plan I was going to buy 5 fertilised eggs to put under my broody hen, (which will stay with the other chickens in the coop during the process.) And I'm just wondering if the non-mother chickens will attack the chicks?

    If I buy a chick, will my hens attack it?

    I'm interested in ordering some fertilized eggs and was wondering that when they hatch will the hens kill the chick(s)? I was already making plans to buy the said eggs but when someone told me that the other chickens would attack them once they hatched I began to reconsider. (I don't have a...

    How come my chicken won't get off the nest?! It's been a week!

    Quote: No I don't have a rooster, although I have been thinking about getting one ever since I first got my hens in may. Then just keep taking the eggs daily so you don't waste them. They sell faux eggs for chickens but i've ready you can use golf balls under them as well. I'm going to try...

    How come my chicken won't get off the nest?! It's been a week!

    Quote: Really?! that's interesting... I always thought that i needed special water containers and feeders, though I always knew that chickens managed on their own in the wilderness. I may have to look into that. You don't have to have them. As long as the chicks can get to the feeder and...

    How come my chicken won't get off the nest?! It's been a week!

    ^ I don't think that would be possible for me because that would mean I have to buy all sorts of special feed and equipment for hatching 1 chick.

    How come my chicken won't get off the nest?! It's been a week!

    Thanks! So should I leave an egg in the coop with her until she realizes that it won't hatch or should I just keep going the way I have and taking the eggs until she quits?
