    Placing Baby Chicks with Hen!

    So this is more of a general comment, I'm not really asking a question or anything like that. I have been replacing my flock over the past couple of months, we had a horrible winter, we lost nearly 30 hens do to a raccoon, and my coop became dilapidated. So, long story short, we're rebuilding...

    Please help!!!!!!

    So I got this bcm that has taken to and decided she wants to be a broody. She's about 6 months old and just flat out refuses to come off the nest. First we tried just going in and pulling her off the nest...that didn't work..lol! Then we tried turning the nesting boxes around over night so she...

    Chicken with diaRhea.....

    One of my bcm's was standing near me today and decided to relieve herself and basically it was just water that came out...should I be concerned? My girls have plenty of water and they get plenty of laying pellets so, I don't think she'll get dehydrated or starve but...I was wondering if this is...

    Funny chicken behavior...

    So I'm sitting there just watching my chickens this morning and one of my red sex links is walking over toward the coop when she starts squatting down while she's walking and then "poof" out plops an egg on the ground! She then proceeds to the nesting box and acts as though she's going to lay...

    Black copper Maran question?

    So one of my bcm's layed her first egg yesterday ( i was very excited) late in the afternoon somewhere around 2 to 2:30 roughly. She began to brood I think as soon as she layed the egg. I noticed this and so I promptly went in to collect the egg so hopefully she doesn't get broody. She got...

He runs at and attacks anyone who comes near the chicken coop...or run if you will ( they have a fenced in area about 26'x 24') complete with a coop with 6 nesting boxes...and an external 6 nesting boxes. I would let them...

    Another behavioral question?

    So I got this 1 red sex link (Henny Penny) that just started laying a little over a week ago. About 19 weeks of age. Since she started laying, I've noticed that she walks around with her wings kinda spread...not full spread but kinda just out a little off of her body? Is this typical for a hen...

    Laying hen question?

    I have one hen that's laying out of 13 and she will not let any of my other hens get up in the coop or nesting boxes at all. She chases them out and even pecks out feathers! Anyone know what this behavior is all about? And how can I break it?

    Black copper marans egg laying question?

    Does anyone know what the average timeframe is for a bcm to start laying? Is it about the same as other breeds? The 4 bcms I have are all about 22 weeks old, but no eggs yet. My only laying hen started last week around 21 weeks of age and my marans are bigger than her. Just wondering, thanks.

    Egg laying question?

    So one of my chickens just started laying this week and she is 18 weeks old and think one of the others isn't far behind now, as well as a about four of my others. But, my question is, will their eggs get larger as they get older? Right now they're pretty small. The hen that started laying is a...
