Normally my ducks won't go near it but I just witnessed one eat some leaves for the first time.

Thanks for the advice, I have to say I agree with you. We've put the original broody in with the rest of the flock and borrowed a broody from a friend. Fingers crossed for this one.

So this morning I went to check on our broody, we've been concerned maybe she was coming off being broody and this morning confirmed it. Cold eggs, poop in the nest and disinterested in my handling the eggs. One had pipped and I put her back in the box near them to see what she would do and...

It's quite unlikely where we are, there's only one cat that used to jump our fence but stopped after I bought the place and moved my dog in. The broody hen was in with the rest of our flock but we separated them yesterday. We also found what looked like dried yolk on the face of one of our other...

We had done the same to the coop on our other property, unfortunately we didn't realise that the gate itself was the week point and was pried/forced open. We still have our suspicions that maybe someone opened it because the force involved seems unlikely for one fox but still possible...

I have a broody hen on a number of eggs, she's quite an aggressive hen so we don't get to check the eggs so we just let nature take its course. We witnessed one egg pip yesterday morning and it was chirping through the gap before we left for the day. I've checked again this morning while mum...

Thank you, I have better photos of him now too.

I haven't shipped any animal before and wasn't considering it. I would need to look into it some more (health, safety, pricing etc...).

I have a roughly 6 month old white bantam silkie roo I am looking to rehome (unless we can make other arrangements). My flock was cut in half by foxes and as a result we are moving what's left back to our suburban property temporarily. 'King Fluff' is our only remaining rooster from the attack...

They're about double the width of a normal bucket and a little deeper. Thanks for the sheet idea, I'm a little upset and scatter brained at the moment.

I have just lost 9 of my chickens to foxes including my roosters. I plan on bringing the ones that survived back to my suburban yard until we fix the main coop but I'm worried about transporting one of my hens that's broody and sitting on about 6 eggs. I was going to use a large flexible toy...

Update! Definitely laying and was on an egg when I got home. Also one of my silkies has started acting almost exactly the same! Although she's not pecking anyone who gets too close.

No mites or lice, she's about a year old now and I believe she's laying (hard to tell with the number of chickens I have). Being broody would make sense with how she's acting but I haven't found her sitting on any eggs when she is in the nesting box. She's never been super friendly but normally...

I don't have photos at the moment but one of my hens seems to be a favourite of the roosters. I think she's getting a little too much attention of late as she's missing a few feathers. I've started alternating letting her out to free range alone and with the flock to give her a break. I've...

Thank you! I'm still relatively new to any breed other than isa browns so we were very confused when we realised they looked different! Are there any main differences between the two? We were hoping to breed them at some point but now maybe we shouldn't?

Hi everyone, the night before last I bought three Barred Plymouth Rock hens that are about two years old. I noticed this morning that two of the three have white legs and white-ish beaks. The third and my existing roo are both yellow. Anyone know why the difference? I did take a guess that...

Thank you! We also found a lady in the hills that had a few left (including a bantam breed) but they are quite young still so we can't integrate them yet =( I'll have a look at the Facebook page =)
