    Molting?

    My hen looks like she's molting, she's lost more feathers slowily over the past 3-4 months, only on her neck and she hasn't gotten any new feather growth in. Is she molting and what can I do to help her.

    Moving the broody hen

    Our cuckoo maran went broody about a week and a half ago. She has been very persistent on hatching eggs. I finally got her some fertile eggs and figured I'd let her hatch them. She is currently on day one. My concern is whether I should move her or not. The temperature has not come below 100...

    Roo laying on eggs.

    One of my hens just started laying eggs. When I went to the coop today, what I'm 90% sure is a rooster, was laying in the nest. Do the roosters lay on the eggs, or am I mistaken and he's a hen?

    Is my hen laying?

    I have a 21 week old Cucko maran. She has a really fluffy but, good sized comb and wattle that is RED. She is also the only one the rooster shows interest in.

    White chick from a brown egg?

    So this little chick hatched from a brown egg 4 weeks ago. I believe she might be a meat bird as she's big! (Although she will not be used as one) Here is another picture of her at 3 weeks old. Any ideas as to what she might be?
