I just introduced three 20 week old hens with my other 3 that are 2 years old. Everything is fine other than one of my two year olds (blue andulasian) is really aggressive towards them but one in particular (my barred rock). To the point that they'll all be out in the chicken run and my barred...
I have a hen that went broody. We have her in a broody buster pen. She's been in there 3 days now. She had only been broody about 2 or 3 days before we put her in broody buster. I've heard once they lay an egg is a good sign they are no longer broody. But with set up of broody buster and not...
I've also heard it could mean they are the bottom of the pecking order with the other hens so look at us as as to keep us below them? So can be aggressive?.... Either way guess we'll steer clear
What can you do if you have a mean chicken? If I even get close to her she goes in to attack mode. Which is weird because we always held her as a chick. It wasn't tell we had her about 6 months she just got mean. Our other two will squat down and let us hold them and are so friendly. The...
Is this a normal amount of feathers to be lying around. We have 3. It seems like a lot more lately than before. They are in their coop a lot more because of weather. Thanks
My chickens have completely stopped laying eggs. No eggs for a month... It's cold and they rarely leave coop with the snow. Do I need to add a heat lamp or some type of light? Or just wait for longer warmer days?
Yea that's no problem. But is it ok to have it inside? With chord and all. I worry about electrical/fire hazard. It's a fleet mills 3 gallon heated water feeder
Any water
Any water we put in their coop freezes to block of ice... The one we have outside with heater stays unfrozen but I don't think they are going out much to drink it. I may need to move it inside.
It's been really cold and we have heated water to prevent it turning to ice. But it is outside in chicken run. Should I move it inside coop? I'm worried they aren't leaving coop to get water.... It's a heated water feeder plugged in to extension chord
She was laying a white egg every day and as of 5-6 weeks ago has stopped completely. I have noticed her feathers scattered throughout coop so maybe she is molting.... She seems different as in not as friendly and she pecks a lot. Almost like she doesn't want to be touched where before she was...
Is she sick? She has been acting a little different and no eggs for over a month...I've noticed her ears are really white. Our other chickens are not. Could maybe be her breed?... She's an andulasian It's winter now and snow and cold where we live..
Thanks Guys! My wife got her at IFA. But she couldn't remember the breed. So I've been curious to find out cuz we love her and she is our favorite hen @donrae
