    Chicken is bleeding and left out by their mother! (HELP ASAP!)

    Its hard to tell, but that doesn't look good. There may be something wrong with it you don't know about. Has this hen had chicks before? I have a few hens that are not allowed to raise chicks because they will kill them.

    Broody BBW

    My BBW hen went broody again this week. I have no tom but was contemplating letting her hatch some chicken chicks. Has anyone had a BBW successfully raise chicks? My biggest fear is her accidentally crushing the chicks, she is a plus sized lady as you can imagine.

    My Mom and I took my husband's mean d'Anvers rooster to be processed last spring along with a bunch of excess roosters and my broilers. Somehow the little guy managed to get loose and was running around the barnyard crowing his fool head off when we went back to pick up my other birds. I told...

    I am entering Little Bit into the "other" category. She is a d'Anvers x WC Black Polish cross. Her Mom (RIP JOJO ) molted horribly last year too. She was broody and stopped less than a week before she started her molt. I can't even imagine her trying to raise babies and keeping them warm...
