    2 mini cochins broody together, we've slipped them chicks but

    Np. Sorry I wasn't clearer. I just really appreciate anyone's time. These little minis are just so perplexing to me. I don't know if it's a mini thing, a breed thing, or a genetic thing. But I'm worried they're going to stay broody. Tomorrow will be day 3 - this is the day they should make...

    He wasn't mounting them. We got them when the girls were 2 months old and the lady included him, I believe he may been about 3-4 wks older, and he always picked on them - making them have their heads smashed to the ground. I've other regular sized chickens and roosters, and not one has ever...

    Thank you for taking the time to answer me. Herty was't pecking at them today (yay) - but she and her sister seem to be still broody. It seems as if they've accepted the babies, and they were crawling all over today, though they didn't go outside both of the hens did for we saw the big...

    Thank you. We thought because they were eggmates, and have been together since birth, they would be ok.

    while watching them, Herty pecks to me, viciously at the chicks and to get away from her, they dive under her or Gerty. Do I have a problem or is this acceptable mini chicken behavior. These two girls came with a little rooster who use to abuse them for no reason, so we got rid of him. He...

    Bantam eggs hatching in a few days.

    Thank you! I didn't know chicken people were so awesome :) Yes, my husband wants to build a tractor just for them, and move them around so they always have fresh grass. We're right on a greenbelt, right on the ocean, so I think this will work with about 4 solar detector lights on it. This is...

    Bantam eggs hatching in a few days.

    Thank you ever so much. We are so attached to Pearl, and her lovableness. And this all makes perfect sense. I hope you're having great weather in NZ!

    Bantam eggs hatching in a few days.

    Last August I hatched a mixed hatch and had only one silkie, and she is picked on. Pearl sits in the coop waiting for us to come and put her in juvenile hall, where she is protected and sheltered. She gives a hollar when she's ready to sleep with the big girls. In a few days, I will have some...

    Rooster looks funny about the head - before and after pic

    The picture says it all. He seems to be eating ok and other than him looking funny, he seems fine. I have 4 hens and him - they are my first chickens and I have had them for 2 years now. He was given to me as a youngster. Thank you for your time and help. His name is George.
