I have 3 hens one and two years old. I got two pullets about a month ago that are now about 14 weeks old. The 3 hens go into the coop at night and the 2 new ones want to roost on the fence for the night. Any ideas on how to get them to go in with the other hens?
My buff orphington has gone broody. She's been sitting on everyone's eggs for about 4 days now. We don't have a rooster, and only have 3 hens. I'm wondering if i just get 2 newly hatched chicks form the farm supply and swap them out with her eggs at night if she will raise them? Does anyone have...
Yesterday evening one of my hens (1 year old), we noticed had a toenail ripped off. She was bleeding a little. I rinsed the injury, and applied neosporin, and bandaged it up. I'm keeping her in a rubbermaid tub on the deck, undercover of the house.
Any other suggestions on how to treat this...
