    Broody hen 3 days/pale flopped comb

    Oh yes we know all about this extremely frustrating habit!!! Couldn't break them so we modified our egg boxes to be rollout. Any egg that doesn't make it though is 80% if the time snatched up. Little savages!

    Broody hen 3 days/pale flopped comb

    Thank you so much for the article! We've been going out there and removing her from the nest multiple times a day. A lot of times the other chickens eggs will come rolling out from under her. I have noticed she is coming out in the morning and hungrily eating & drinking for about 10 Minutes. We...

    Broody hen 3 days/pale flopped comb

    Losing 2/5 eggs a day!!

    We have 7 chickens and get on average 4-5 eggs a day! We've been battling an egg eater but have no way of catching them in action and knowing who it is specifically. We've tried golf balls in the nest, mustard filled eggs, having constant food and clean water and oyster shells. I've even been...

    Poopy butt dead! 1 girl w mangled comb?

    We have six hens have had em for about a month now. All seemingly healthy (getting 3-4 eggs a day) noticed 3 days ago that one of the girls had a really poopy butt but walking around and hanging out normally.
