Hello everyone! My chicken is young and has been laying for a few weeks now, but she has been broody lately. I tried to break it off by taking her eggs away and putting her outside with her hen friend. This, however, did not work out. She is always making angry noises by herself, when I get near...
Hello everyone! I just got a new chicken because I had two, one died (unexpectedly) and so we had to get another girl. This one is eating and drinking well, she moves around and she looks very good; however, we separated her from the previously exiting one so she could get used to the house, and...
