    New chicken isolating herself

    She started this the first day she was free to roam. I have not witnessed anything to make me think she was being picked at. I have a broody breaker in the coop, sounds like she needs to spend a few days in there.

    New chicken isolating herself

    Pullets, not poults, sorry for the confusion! They are all chickens. The aforementioned toddler has not slept through the night in her life and my brain does not do well with a lack of sleep!

    Would you eat these eggs?

    This morning I found 6 eggs outside the coop. My girls had been on "lock down" in their coop because they free range and they just started laying the beginning of November. I wanted them to learn to lay in the nest boxes. They were doing good so last week I let them out. I know these eggs are...

    2 weeks old

    Thanks for the link to poo pictures. Who knew I would ever be thanking someone for linking me to pictures of poop!! I am no expert but I really don't think you are in danger from your chicks. Washing hands is wise but I wouldn't worry too much about the warnings. I came from an area with lots of...
