    constantly broody cochin

    Xoxomyladees well to answer your question about how I break her from being broody. It's very easy, I just separate her from the flock, and don't have a nesting box in the other spot I put her. That doesn't allow her to get into any nesting spot and in about a week she is no longer broody. I kind...

    constantly broody cochin

    Thanks for the replies. I'm just going to let her do her thing. I really love her. She is the only one out of my flock of 11 hens that greets me everyday, and loves when I pretty her. I just get a little worried, last time she lost all of her feathers on her lower chest, and her legs. It looked...

    Araucana hen or rooster?

    Wow I just checked pics, and you guys are right. I actually bought 2 of them, and they are both easter egger pullets. Now I can completely tell that she is a pullet, and not a cockrel. Thanks all for your help.

    Huge Egg!

    I believe my Golden Laced Wyandotte layed this egg. Had anyone else gotten a big event from this breed?

    Feeding my rooster and hens together

    Thanks yea I just have a little bit of scratch grains left, then I am going to switch him to grower. I've only had him a couple of weeks. I think I will go with your suggestion of an all flock feed and just put oyster shell on the side. Thanks for your advice

    Feeding my rooster and hens together

    Hello all. My question is do I need to switch up my layer feed to something else when I introduce my little rooster into the coop with all my hens? I am just curious because I have him separated until he is big enough which is almost time. I have been feeding him scratch grains, but feed all of...

    Why would my 28 week old cuckoo marans not be laying eggs?

She had lasted am egg everyday since she started except for one. That 5 straight days. Still have one other Cochin, and...

    Not understanding dosing instructions

    Well it isn't letting me download the picture for instructions for some reason. I'll try and explain. The bag is 158.5 g / 6.4 oz. Dose is 200-400mg/gal. Not exactly sure how to convert properly and just being overly cautious I don't want to give my sweet girl too much.

    Trouble Integrating New Chickens

    Yea maybe waiting until she is a little bigger is a good idea. I've never had ours get big cuts or gashes either. I have used water to separate the aggressor. She did not like that at all. Also if I'm reading your comment correctly, you are separating the older one / aggressor.. Don't know if it...
