    Wry neck?

    I have a year old spitzhauben hen that has suddenly developed apparent wry neck. She has lost control of her neck and her head just flops to the ground. She is the only hen in 10 years to do this, and I've been using the same feed (nutrena). Is this really a vitamin deficiency?? I'm unsure how...

    Roo??

    I got a straight run of dark brahma chicks. This is the only one who looks different. I want a rooster, but I can't convince myself that this one is. Any thoughts?

    Broody hens switched nests

    Please help! I'm not sure if I messed up or not! I had a broody sitting eggs in the momma coop - my small coop with 3 nesting boxes. I had a second hen go broody so I moved her and her eggs into the baby coop. After 2 days, the hens switched nests! There was 10-12 days' difference in expected...

    How do I introduce new chicks to a broody hen?

    I am new to the chicken breeding scene. I got a rooster by accident and figured he should earn his keep. I let a broody set the eggs but that didn't work. So I put a bunch in an incubator (that worked!) and I now have 9 chicks. Can I give them to a broody hen, and if so what is the best way to...
