    Solved Another random notification?

    I am just wondering why this happened, but I got a notification from this thread (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/moving-to-ireland.1650459/page-2#post-28514759) that @PouleChick had quoted a post from me. I am not following @PouleChick or watching the forum or the thread.

    Broody Cochin died suddenly

    My 7-month old white Cochin with 5 chicks suddenly did last night and left behind her chicks, and she was abnormally light recently. She was lethargic last night. Lately, she did not bite us when we tried to touch her chicks. Her comb and wattles were getting lighter, but I think that is normal...

    Silkie x D'uccle, why did none hatch?

    I attempted to hatch two some eggs from my Buff Silkie and Porcelain D'uccle, both developed well but did not hatched. When I opened the eggs after a few days, I found a dead chick, with the yolk & blood almost fully absorbed, but both were not internally pipped. Does anybody have any ideas...

    Buff Silkie x White Cochin = blue chicks?

    I hatched some barnyard mix eggs from my white Cochin, Papaya. I know the rooster that fathered the eggs was my buff Silkie (my only rooster, but there were two others about two weeks before the eggs were collected, one did have some blue leakage) because they have black skin and five toes. I am...

    Soft shell egg

    This morning my Cochin hen laid a soft shell egg in their roosting area. She also will not get up or jump down when a person goes near her, she will just stay sitting there. Yesterday she seemed to be limping but I could not find anything on her foot. Is there anything I can do to help her? I...

    Can a chicken randomly change nest sites?

    I have tow Cochin pullets who look the same, and are both at POL, the only difference between them is that one has more points on her comb. The one that I know is laying lays on top of a wall, (I am working on stopping her from laying there,) And today I found another Cochin egg in the nest box...

    How to train a new layer to lay in nest box?

    My first chicken in a while, a Cochin, laid her first egg, but it was on top of a wall in a nest she had made. I wanted her to lay in a nest box, so when she went onto the wall to lay an egg, I moved her to a nest box and blocked off the opening so she would not get out. After an hour, she still...

    Do chickens eat fava beans?

    I have noticed my chickens show no interest in my fava bean plants when I let them out of their run. Would this mean that if I grew them in their run, would they not eat them? (Assuming they do not step on/scratch up the sprouts) Thank you.
