I have 3 pullets that have gone broody at the same time. White leghorn, speckled Sussex and a mystery breed. (I have no clue what she is) I thought the leghorn would snap out of it but it’s been 2 weeks and she’s determined. and the black mystery pullet went broody a few months ago (maybe...
My chicks were attacked last night, I am going to assume it was a hawk because one chick is gone and the other is laying on her side only able to move one leg. What should I do to help her?
I have a hen that has been broody so I introduced a chick to her that she has bonded with. I want to introduce a couple of more so that chick is not alone but tonight she out of the nesting box and in the corner with the chick. Is she no longer broody and too late to add chicks?
Hi all I introduced 4 chicks to my broody hen last Wednesday unfortunately only 1 made it. She is doing really well with the chick but she is stealing eggs before I can get out there and still sitting. I remove the eggs everyday but she has not made any attempt to leave the nest. The chick is...
I have a predator proof coop and run that my ladies live in. I live on 40 acres and let them free range a few hours a day. They stay pretty close to the coop and the house and come when called. So far no incidents with any predators but Beyond the coop are some woods, not real thick woods but...
I have a hen that went broody about 2-3 weeks ago. I tried breaking her but she was relentless. I wanted to grow my flock so I just decided to do it now since she was so determined. Over the course of the past couple of weeks I tried moving her to a new lower nesting box but she was not having...
I have 2 SS. One of their combs is not as red as the other, I don’t know if that matters but am curious if they are both Roos. I also have what I assume is EE although I have no idea the breed, I thought she was a pullet but I asked a question this morning about another chicken and someone...
I have an EE I assume that is what she/he is. It’s the largest chick I have. This morning I seen her bumping chest with a SS that was supposed to be a pullet but I believe is a roo. She doesn’t have a large comb or wattle so I’m confused.
Hi I have a chick, she’s about 7 weeks old. I posted pics of her last week but still can’t narrow down what she is. She has some new pin like feathers coming in on her neck and head. You can see them if you zoom in. Someone on a previous post suggested black sex link but the white spots threw me...
I am new to raising chickens and I purchased 8 from a local lady. I posted pics last night of 3 of them and some of y’all helped me verify that in fact 2 are Roos. I sent pics to her and she also confirmed as well. I looked at them this morning and I believe I have another 2 that are not...
Hi all, I have a barred rock that I was hoping to get help with identifying if she is a Roo and 2 others that I’m not sure their breed. They are supposed to be about 6-7weeks old but I’m not 100% sure on the age. The last picture she is much bigger than the rest of them and I’m not sure her breed.
Hello everyone, I am a new mama to 8 chickens. I stumbled across the forum during my googling and have found the information so very helpful. I’m in Florida and we built on open air coop which has been great with all the heat! I never would have guessed how much I enjoy having my little flock...
