Can I dust a broody hen with DE?

I have a tiny red frizzles bantam who goes broody every few months. Soooo, I gave in and let her sit on her nest. She kept stealing eggs until she amassed 14 eggs!!!! Yikes. Today one has pipped. I am amazed and excited! It is apparently one of the eggs she stole from one of my EE's since it's blue.

What a CUTIE!

I have tried rooster rehab without success:( My red bantam roo has to go!

I bought some adorable frizzle bantams at TSC last year.

My chicks picture showed up on my next door neighbors FACEBOOK. Apparently they came over often, even posing for the photo shoot. Yesterday, I caught them across the road at another neighbor's house. They are grounded in the run today.

What color do you want?

I bought 12 chicks from TSC last year. 6 were sex linked and 6 were frizzle bantams. They have all done very well, are so friendly and lay tons of eggs. The frizzles are still adorable!!!! good choice for us.

What did you use to sew up injuries?

In GA we have many chicken loving predators too. I voted 'hawk' because I see them often. We lost 5 chickens this month while we were away. Whatever killed them didn't eat them or rip them open. Now I want a HUGE covered run & not free range.

Welcome to BYC!!!!

Welcome to BYC, GingerAnn!

Great news!

Poor thing!!! Hasn't he suffered enough, 'Boss Roo?' I found my ugliest, scrawniest bantam rooster hiding across the road in the underbrush. He was already so ugly he was cute ---now he has a red, naked behind!! I'm giving him extra TLC and a heatlamp at night. Pitiful looking!

I've never seen any dog in my yard. I thought something must have been chasing and catching my chickens for the sport since none of mine were mauled or eaten. I think the young ones died of fear!!! made me really angry

Poor chicks! it is amazing you fav chick survived! GOOD JOB returning her to good health! I had something (which I think was a neighborhood dog) come into my yard and attack my free range flock. I came home after a very quick run out to find 2 dead chickens (not mauled) and 3 others missing. My...
