    Broody Hen Thread!

    We have a Buff Orpington that went broody yesterday. My son came in from gathering eggs and said she wouldn't move. Today she is still sitting in the same nesting box. She puffs her feathers up and balks at us when we even go to touch her and tries to peck. She must be sitting on all the eggs...

    Wanted to update on this post. Our chickens went to a hard molt late summer/early fall and all the bald spot filled back in beautifully! Fluffy white girls again.

    Insight Plz! Lethargic Hen Discolored Comb and Feet

    Earlier this week my son showed me our 6 month old Barred Rock had a discolored comb. It looked purple like a bruise. It's normally bright red. Later on in the week it looked normal. Today I found her just standing with the other hens with her feathers puffed up, head down and eyes closed. Her...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    One of our pullets laid her first egg today but it has no shell! I think it was either one of the buff orpingtons or Rhode Island reds.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I posted our two Roos for free on Craigslist last night for free and had 7 replies within a couple hours. A couple came today and took Bubba and Cinnamon to their farm where they can be as noisy as they want. These folks are wanting to get fertilized eggs. We will miss our boys but glad I found...

    Surprise Babies!

    And then there were two...we lost another this afternoon. The two most active ones are nestled together in the nest. Praying they make it. My daughter is taking this hard! :(

    Surprise Babies!

    Sad to say we lost one of the babies during the night. I noticed yesterday it wasn't quite as active as the others but I hoped momma would nurse it and perk it up. But it was laying at the opposite end of the nest lifeless when we checked on them. The other three look plump and wiggly this...

    It's been cooler this week than normal. The day the chicken passed it was in the 70s.

    Sudden Death

    I have been adding ACV to their water once a day and watching for abnormal poo. I just ordered wormer from Molly's Herbals. I've read many good things and I'm hoping it will work for us.

    Surprise Babies!

    Yes I know thank you lol. This was my daughters rabbit and she was told it was male when we got it. She questioned the presence of a dulap and the lack of testes but she didn't think the person we got it from could be wrong. This was a happy surprise. Day two the babies are still wiggly in the nest.

    feather loss on a couple chickens possible moulting? with pictures

    My white rock hen looks just like your mayhem missing feathers on her head and back. I thought it was a molt but it started in March and now it's July and no better. We separated the roo from the girls in June because he was just too rough. Two other girls have some back feathers broke or...

    Sudden Death

    So far all the other birds seem well. Knock on wood...we've been keeping a close eye. I would have loved to have had the body tested but I had already disposed of the body. I wrote down the info for future use though if needed!
