    Broody? or eggbound?

    Not sure but I think my hen is broody... she's a light brahma a little over a year old. She's in the nesting area a lot but no egg. I had to place some wooden eggs in the nesting boxes due to accidental egg eating. One of my other JG's was laying thin eggs and I think an accidental broken egg...

    Rooster mounting behavior

    Ok, I'm very new to this chicken thing but I was outside the other day and checking on the chickens when it appeared my alpha rooster was mounting what I thought was another one of my roosters. See, I purchased 6 light brahma chicks in the spring from a local feed store and they were suppose to...

    Light Brahmas - Hens or Roosters

    I'm new to raising chickens and in April we purchased 6 chicks from a local feed store. My brahmas are about 20-21wks old now. They were supposed to all be hens (95%). About a month ago one dominant rooster made his presence obvious and once he was starting to be pretty aggressive with my hens I...
