The reason I ask is, ai jufter hatching out chicks this early Spring (march 6-8), one of my Banty hens went broody again over the weekend?She is perfectly content sitting on a small clutch, so I moved her last night to a broody box.Any...

    GoldenLaced Polish Question

    That's what I was wondering too?! If I bred them would they have gold laced offspring or does the coloring get weird like with the blues? I guess I could see if their chicks had it too? Then determine if it was genetic or not.

    GoldenLaced Polish Question

    Broody hen won't be moved

    I had the same thing happen 2 weeks ago. I knew she was broody but seemed insecure and was getting pushed off her eggs so leaving her wasn't an option. She would walk all over the eggs like urs too when I moved her. I ended up putting her in a cat carrier where she was limited to moving around...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    My first broody hatched 7 of 9 cuties a cple days ago. She's in a seperate smaller pen and I was wondering if I let her out into the coop how will I make sure the babies go to the chick food?

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Ok. So she just nest jumped again....?! I firmly believe she is broody. She's not laying eggs herself and she never leaves the nest (execpt to switch) and she's cranky with me. She always moves to a new nest that doesn't contain eggs....so maybe she's not broody?? Ahhhh I don't know?!:/ my other...

    Should it be small to not encourage walking around? Like a cat carrier? I don't want to force her, but I feel she wants too she just isn't quite getting it..... and since she isn't laying now, because of it, I figure why not try....??
