    Move nest or leave alone

    I have two hens who have gone broody and set up a nest in the turkey coop (dirt floor - with a little straw). I also have 4 other girls and 3 boys. We lock them in at night and we have a heat lamp inside the coop. We have an old chicken coop 5' x 5' available and I thought it might be a good...

    Thank you Pozees and Mtn Margie! We are moving out to Peyton (so excited). I was hoping to free range them together today with a wire fence in between them but we got snow and the older girls are content to stay in their pen. We moved the new girls into a baby pool w a couple of inches of hay...

    Hi all. I don't post often I have a small backyard flock of 6 girls about a year old but i read it everday. We just bought a small ranch 18 acres and I can't wait to move and get a few more girls. Probably won't move until April. So excited! Unfortunately my husband couldn't wait and brought...

    Yes, she is the one who hobbles (she also drags a wing on occassion). When the weather was nicer we had her outside when the rest of the girls were free ranging and she would hobble a little but then she would find a spot and hunker down/hide out from our dominant hen. We actually locked Crazy...

    THANK YOU everyone for all the wonderful advice and ideas. We decided that we would move Puff Ball downstairs (we have carpet - now covered with a sheet) so she could come out of her cage and walk around. She couldn't walk around on the hardwood floors... too slick. She hobbles around a...

    As i sit here crying, i have to ask what is the best, most humane way to cull a chicken. As I mentioned a three/four weeks ago, we had a chicken who was hobbling. Took her to the vet they didn't know what to do, gave us antibiotics, no help. She stands occasionally and hobbles a little but we...

    No visible injuries. She was limping and dragging her wing when they came out to the yard. I can move her wing and her foot. I checked for any cuts that might make her limp but foot looked ok. I have her in a box. Where she can't move. She is blind in one eye so she is my special chicken and...

    Wow Wendell what a day. Am hoping Heather is doing ok sometimes day two or three you hurt worse. Pozees stick to your guns. There is no excuse for that kind of shoddy work. Dennarahl love their costumes. Do they "super" names? My blue/green egg tonight was lighter than the others - could...

    I just went through this - thought my Ancona (Panda) was a roo. She started jumping on one of black australorps (lil sis). Chased her around trying to mount her. This went on for two, three days. Then Lil Sis layed an egg. Panda kept it up for another two days and then SHE layed her first...
