    Mother Leghorn?

In my experience, they've never shown any interest in babies but recently I brought home a variety of 8 chicks and two ducklings, and now that they've gotten old enough to go out into the coop, they have a new mama. I thought...

    Adding a new rooster.. Yay or nay?

    Hi all, I have a small flock that last week consisted of 3 leghorn hens, 2 New Hampshire hens, a silkie hen and a silkie roo. The girls are all about 7 weeks old and the rooster about 10 weeks. The very day my roo started too crow- a fox got him :(. ( RIP Larry Bird) Now I'm very paranoid...

    Hi there ..

    My name is Heather and I'm new to the chicken world. I've always wanted to raise chicken and now live in an area where I can. I am quickly becoming obsessed with my chicks!
