I have two Black English Orpington Pullets both 20 weeks old and a few chicks in my brooder, next year my plan is to put hatching eggs under one of my hens when she (hopefully) goes broody. What I am wondering is once a hen goes broody how long do I have to get eggs under her before I run the...
Today the temperatures are supposed to skyrocket to over 105F and my Blue and Black English Orpingtons usually look Hot when it is in the 80s, I was thinking of making a small shelter and bringing them into the air-conditioning for the day in my living room, I have a large sterilite tote 45g and...
I have two very well socialized Blue English Orpington Cockerels from very good imported lines however I have a very small flock and only need one or less Rooster, If you are looking to add a top quality Rooster to your flock he would make an excellent choice, already very large and no where...

we got new chicks today and when i was putting them in the brooder I noticed that one had a pasty butt (I think that is the real term) a little poop and some red tissue stuck to its vent and while cleaning that carefully off I noticed what I thought was (and may actually be) poop however while...
This morning my husband and I picked up replacement chicks at the hatchery we bought sexed pullets this spring but two grew into cockerels and the hatchery gave us four day old chicks to replace the two roosters. I have never raised chicks during the summer before and was wondering if I could...

our chicken run was originally placed on lush green grass however several weeks later the floor of the run is bare soil. my chooks are allowed to free range daily but i would like to find the best way to keep their run clean. Eglu recommends wood chips as a bedding that the chickens will enjoy...
I bought my Blue and Black Orpington pullets from a wonderful local breeder who unfortunately had a delay with her NPIP paperwork and had to hold all of her chicks and eggs until she was cleared. my point is that when i asked how old my girls were she couldn't remember and i was wondering if...
i just called Omlets customer service looking for a promotional code and had a lovely short conversation with the guy from the videos!! i recognized the voice and asked and it was him. crazy right?
today i was going through the process to buy an eglu go and when i went to check out i came across the unexpected cost of Value Added Tax essentialy instead of paying tax on items they need for the making of the omlet they pass that on as an additional charge to the consumer. well seeing this...
yesterday i bought 4 sexed blue and black English Orpington chicks about 4 weeks of age, I set the brooder up in our bedroom because it is the quietest room in the house and my husband and i had a discussion about whether the 4 week old chicks needed a heat lamp or were old enough for room...
