I have a hen that is definitely broody. I separated her from the nest (outside) for a few hours today, let her back in and she went straight back to the nest. I heard about hanging the cage and letting cold wind hit her but was just wondering what happens if I do nothing?
ps. I love this...
Hello all, Thanks for this site. It is too cool, especially for newbies like myself.
I am trying to find out what kind of girls I have. They are black and, when the sunlight hits them, there are blue and green hues to their black feathers. Any ideas without a picture? I am still learning...
I am using an old workshop for my coop but it is near a creek and the area is wet all the time, including underneath the shavings. Am I doing a great injustice by keeping them there? Do the coops have to be dry? Please help. New to the chicken scene. Thanks so much!
