I have a Buff that is now into her 8th week of being broody. How do I get her to stop??? I have tried moving her to another coop...didn't work. She does eat and drink then moves to any empty nesting box....sigh!
My Welsummers are 10 months old. I have 9 of them and I am only getting 1 to 2 eggs a day!! I am very, VERY disappointed. My Welsummers are in with 4 Easter Eggers and 1 EE roo.
In fact, all my chickens are not producing well at all. I have 35 other hens....some Buff Orpingtons, Black Sex...
My daughter has about 25 hens of various ages. The oldest would be about 3 yrs old, the youngest about 6 1/2 months. She free-ranged them all until about 2 weeks ago. She was getting 1 or 2 eggs per week...then None! She pinned them all up in the coop area and still gets ZERO eggs per day...
I read that English Ivy is toxic to chickens. We have tons of this stuff on our property. Will the chickens eat it? There is no way we could get rid of all of it. I want to free range my chickens when I get them. Will they just ignore the ivy? Thanks in advance!
