    Broody Hens

    Aloha swdunn0926, There are many ways to break up broodies. I know of two.. A) Isolation B) Cold water ( I used this once a while back but never again I didn't feel it was right) I use the Isolation solution though, it is when you have a cage for a Broody hen(s) so they won't go back to the...

    Gave my bird away, then got him back... Now he looks different!!!

    Again thanks all for your aloha and support. My roos comb, prior to his crew-comb (crew cut), was showing discoloration. I had to massage it so it turned red again. In fact, the girls he is with now thought he was a Hen so they challenged him. But he just danced for them and they submitted...

    Gave my bird away, then got him back... Now he looks different!!!

    Hey all, Yes, it was cruel what the kids did, they were Intermediate school age by the way. I was in shock cause Taikneetu was also very underweight, I really pampered him back to health. I had a long talk w/ the children's parents and..... They got a verbal lashing right in front of...
