    Broody hen & I'm new to all this!

    Okay so I've been keeping chickens for about 2/3 years now, but I've never had a chicken go THIS broody! Buffing at me, making the "dinosaur" noise I call it, sitting at night.. So my mom and I thought we would experience with it. We have her sitting on 5 eggs, & we have them marked. She's been...

    Heat lamps... You got it or no?

    Thanks for all your posts guys! I had a heat lamp in the past and it burnt my whole coop down in January of this year. But we still haven't figured if it was the heat lamp or not, but still, I'm kinda scared! So I think I'm just gonna fix the drafts and things. I'm gonna work on it this...

    Odd sore. Don't know what it is. Weird.

    It was something similar to Neosporin I used, or I think it was Neosporin.. Same thing, haha. I noticed it late this afternoon right after dark, so I had enough time to put something on her and get some ointment on it, I will definately check her in the morning. Thanks for responding, apriciate...

    2 roosters.

    So should I give one away.. They are still chasing but not really anymore.. Just when I have them closed up for the evening going into the morning, before I can get down there I know there is friction.. I just don't want one to kill the other one, you know? I just want them to work it out.

    Quote: Exactly! My BR roo has grown up to be bigger than my RIR roo and he is doing the chasing. Do you think they will kill each other or try and fight? Or do you think they will reach an agreement?

    2 roosters.

    I have 2 roos. A RIR & a BR. I both got them at the same time, which was 1 day old when I ordered my bunch. Well my RIR roo, he has grown to be the dominate one.. While my BR roo has stayed back, didn't get to call dibs I guess. Now all the sudden yesterday, my dad told me that while I was at...

    The roos.. Actually the second one, lol.

    I have two roos.. One Rhode Island Red, then a Barred Rock.. I've heard over the years that one will always take dominance.. & that's my RIR roo. His crow sounds fine, but my BR roo his sounds like when he first started.. The just started crowing about a month or so ago.. Will his crow ever...
