    Hen killing hatching chicks

    My hen’s chicks were due yesterday, and two of my favorite hen’s eggs had hatched before the others. Instead of caring for them, she had thrown them out (one fully hatched and one was just about to come out of the shell) I’m scared for her last 4 eggs. Does anyone know why she might be doing...

    Can a broody hen sit on old eggs?

    My hen started showing signs of being broody, and today she started sitting, but the eggs she’s sitting on are a bit old (some are about a week old and others maybe older). So I was wondering if she could still hatch them, or if I should buy her some knew eggs (though I might not be able too)...

    Does anyone know the gender/breed of this chick?

    A guy brought three chickens, but one died and I’ll post about the other one later. But I’m unsure of its breed or gender, but I think it’s a hen.

    Is my chicken broody or not?

    I have a wonderful chicken named Aphrodite, and I was hoping that she was broody. I saw her in one of the nesting boxes two nights ago, while I as feeding the horses, and I got really excited but then in the morning she was up with the rest of the flock. She didn’t get back in the nesting box...

    Is the size of a nesting nox important?

    My dad was remaking my chickens a coop and he made the nesting boxes 2 feet long and 1 foot wide, but he made the top about 2 feet tall. He said that size didn’t matter but I’m pretty sure it matters, he also said it doesn’t matter if it’s dark for them to go broody, so he left the front open...

    ‘Leading’ rooster died, everyone is out of control

    My ‘leading’ rooster attacked a four year old boy while trying to get his sister, Aphrodite, back to the flock. His parents were furious and pretty much forced me to kill him. He was an amazing rooster who kept everything going good, other than him being overprotective of his chickens. I thought...

    My rooster’s ‘favorite’ hen died

    My rooster, hades, had been lonely after his brother left him to go with all of my other chickens. I had tried to get them together but it didn’t work.
