    First time hatching eggs with broody hen

    One of my hens went broody for the first time as well so this'll all be new for me as well. I hadn't thought about the vaccinations so thank you for bringing that up, other than that though I haven't had much to worry about. My PBR is the broody one and likes to steal eggs from the other hens so...

    who wants to join me setting eggs september 9th.

    Didn't see this post in here otherwise I would've posted sooner. I have a PBR that went broody on me, coincidentally on the same day you set your eggs in your 'bator. Since this will be my first hatch as well as the hen's I'm not expecting too many to survive. She started off with 6 eggs and...

    Wire floor for coop??

    Has anyone ever used wire cloth for their chicken coop? I want/need to fix/replace the grass in our yard and can't have the chickens tearing up the grass while it's still young or eating seeds before they sprout. My coop is raised off the grass by about 1.5 inches because of the wheels so I...

    Floor material for the outdoor run?

    I'll trade you some red dirt for some of your black dirt lol, dirt will be just fine, but be sure to have something outside with sand or hardwood ash for them to dust off in to prevent critters from nesting on them.

Nice setup Hawgon, doing something similar in my chicken coop so that I can keep them inside...

    Hey ya'll, anyone in the Huntsville/Madison area have hens they like to trade for a rooster? Turns out that all 3 New Hampshire Reds I bought at the chicken and egg festival ended up being roosters, plus 1 ISA rooster. Right now I have 4 roosters to 6 hens, either I need more hens or would like...
