    Can you MAKE a hen go BROODY?

    In that case I should bring them in and continue to let them think summer continues... They each have been broody 3x this year. although I am little worried about having them Broody again. usually I just let them go twice a year.

    Can you MAKE a hen go BROODY?

    I'm wondering if I can induce the natural hormone by tricking my broody hens into thinking that it's really warm weather and time to be broody in November. I live in Vancouver BC so the winters are not usually harsh but I was considering moving them into a furnace room in wire dog crates and...

    A Day With My Flock

    Here's hoping I can help someone else. As Pumpkin the turkey spoke earlier she has something going on with her sinuses. Last night a friend and I drained 3 cc's of fluid from her nasal passage. To do this we used a 16 gauge needle with a 5 CC syringe. I held the bird and she inserted the...

    We'll just make sure they're safe from predators weather and have a shallow bowl of water and took scratch and I'm sure she'll do the rest for you! There's such miraculous creatures aren't they? One of my Icelandic X brahmas hatched out 7 turkey poults for me!

    Hi! What you looking at? Is it my turn? Hello my name is Lucy. That is with a fur on the end of it. Get it? Lucifer/Lucy? As others have told you Mom can not sex a chick for her life! Or maybe it was just wishful hoping that I was a girl. Well I'm not a girl! I am the Lucifer and if I can find...

    A Day With My Flock

    My name is Pumpkin. I don't feel very well. I have sinusitis and pretty soon mom's going to have to do something about it. She's just trying to get up the nerve as a week and a half of antibiotics did not do the trick. I am a sweet turkey that never gets into any trouble. Unlike my big sister...

    My OEGB, Olivia likes to co brood with her Frizzle friend Lily usually only once a year. This year they hatched out six guinea fowl and she looked after them till they were 3 months old and three times the size of herself! Have you left the eggs under your Henrietta? Then swap the chicks for...

    A Day With My Flock

    Well my friends, it's been a long time. Just over a year and a lot has changed. I've started hatching my own Barnyard eggs between the Icelandic brahmas X with a beautiful Americana rooster named L.D.Silver! He's very active shall we say! And the ladies are getting used to him. My chicken math...

    A Day With My Flock

    Hello fellow chicken lovers! I'm so happy! I got myself a serema roo! At least that is what I was told it was. Body shape is right but a little bigger then what they are suppose to be. Anyway, the reason I am writing today it that this 1.5 y/o roo had very long spurs. He hasn't been...

    A Day With My Flock

    How much would a chicken eat if a chicken had yummies all day? On the other hand maybe you're wondering what happened to my hens point of view stories. Well, it's dark when I leave and almost dark and pissing rain when I come home. Even the fog has rolled in tonite... Hens actually wait for me...

    A Day With My Flock

    @ jamiesweet I wholly agree with peck and scratch about the food. They need more the corn. I too tried out my 2 broodies for the first time last Oct, Nov, Dec. Got 2 little chicks. What a pain but fun. Since they were born a month apart, first mom left at 7 weeks and the second mom left at 3...

    A Day With My Flock

    I don't have the time to look at all your posts to see your situation. Altho, i know about your weather at this time. To me a cage that may be big enough to hold a great Dane at best is not ideal for 2 pullets under many circumstances. Sounds like they are bored. Tiny space? Are they on layer...

    A Day With My Flock

    Winterizing. Vents. Insulation. Coop floor materials. I have read hours of opinions on each of my headers. My advice is to read all of it and then find what works for you and your hens. 2 years later you’ll realize what you should have done different and then try to convince your other half to...

    I think my chickens hate their coop!

    Have you thought to clip one wing? I only do it on my flighty girls and seem to have to do it only once a year. Keeps them in the pen!
