(Black Australop and Buff Orpington...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I have a coronation sussex that is always broody! and I mean always. She is broody for a couple weeks, her dry spell for a week or so and lays for 1-2 weeks. This has been her cycle since February. Do you you think letting her have chicks would break this cycle or is this just her way? I have...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I went out and tucked her into the hen house part. She was not happy, but has stayed in. I dont know who was more scared, her or me. Pitch black outside. I must say, her body felt nice and warm though. Makes me feel better to know she is warm under all those feathers

    Hello, I am new to BYC and am just starting in my chicken adventures. I am already in love with Orpingtons. I have been looking all over the internet for sources for chicks/pullets.
