Yes, yet another poster who is unhappily housing a broody hen. Why, oh why would a chicken think that January is a good time to bring chicks into the world? Not that we have a rooster anyway, so it's a mute point. Anyway, if left to thier own devices, how long will a chicken sit on an empty...

Can anyone tell me if it is normal for a chick (a BO) to be just sleepier and quieter than the other chicks with her? I'm not sure if there is something wrong or if I'm just clucking over her too much( So to speak.). She seems to be growing well. There are others that are bigger, but there's...
