Hello! I have an Easter egger rooster I need to get rid of. I have 2 others beside him and they were all getting along until the major heat wave and he decided to fight the lead rooster. I have not been able to get them to be fine with each other anymore, so I am getting rid of him since he...
I have a hen that went broody. Problem is she is not very high on the pecking order and the other hens kept pushing her off to lay their eggs. She kept switching between 2 nests. I eventually created a nesting area just for her and put some eggs under her. I have been trying to candle them, but...
