I have a one year old bird that has stopped laying for the past 5 days. Now I don't have a rooster in my flock, so obviously no fertilized eggs. But my question is can a chicken still get broody even though they are not fertilized? At first I was wondering if she was egg bound, but now I...

How did your chicken make out? Did you ever figure out what the problem was? My australorp is going through the same problem. I've bathed her and even put warm olive oil around the opening. She is constantly going into her nesting box. If I don't kick her out I swear she would never leave. It's...

The last two pics look like barred rock. They have the yellow spots on their heads. So cute!

Thank you! This weekend my husband is going to build me a run for my coop. My coop is a a big shed with plenty of room for my 4 girls. So for the past year I've been either letting them free range or go in my large fenced in garden. Now with this recent lost I have put the pressure on my man to...

So sorry that's so sad. I have lost many birds and each loss breaks my heart.

Gorgeous!

In the fall I lost 4 free ranging birds at dusk. One headless the rest left for dead (even the rooster was taken out). I was devastated. After that I started locking the birds up and only letting them out when I was in the yard. This morning I put my surviving 5 birds in the fenced in garden...
