    Will broodiness pass on it's own?

She won't even get off the nest to drink or eat...

    How high will Buff Ops be able to fly?

    Hi, we are building a little fence to stop my chickens coming up on the deck, I am trying to plan how high to make it. My chicks are 7 weeks and they can fly up to about 3-4 feet easily - will they be able to fly higher when adult or will the weight they gain mean they don't? Also, if I clip...
