    What to do about a broody?

    I have a hen that went broody on 10 eggs inside the chicken coop. She is setting on them in a nest box and won't let me get my hand anywhere near her. I don't mind her hatching the chicks out but I'm afraid that the other hens or rooster will hurt them or they will fall out of the nest box and...

    What breed is this? Please help!

    This chick is from my Buff Orpington rooster. I thought his mother was a Black Australorp because he hatched out of a brown egg but now I'm thinking there's no way that a BO and a BA could make this. I also have a Barred Rock but the chicks got black feet. The only other option is that it's...

    Limpy chicken

    My one year old Ameraucan hen is limping on one foot--she will put weight on it but not much and when she runs she only puts it down to push off a little bit. I picked her up to see if she had something on the bottom of her foot or if it was injured, broken or swollen, but it all seemed fine...
