    Swapping broody hens eggs for chicks - help!

    We've just bought some chicks to add to our flock. One of our hens is broody and has been sitting on (unfertilized) eggs for a couple of weeks. We've just removed the eggs and placed two of the new chicks under her hoping she'd take to them. Everything went fine, she fluffed herself up, adjusted...

    Broody chicken, need advice!

    My Buff O has become broody. We've ordered a fertilized egg for her but it won't be here for a week. Do we leave her with her unfertilized egg for the time being, or remove it?

    Introducing 4wk chicks to 7wk?

    We recently lost our RIR (rip Big Red) and decided to replace her quickly, to hopefully avoid any bullying from the others. Just in case there were any problems, we ordered two new chicks, so at least they'd have each other as the new kids in the coop (we've only had chickens for 3 weeks so are...

    Depressed RI Red?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, just got my first ever chickens just under a week ago :) I have 6 chicks, each 5 weeks old, all different breeds. They all seem to be getting along well, all quite boisterous, no leader of the pack as of yet, however my RI Red is really timid, always outside of...
