I have 3/5 adult hens with this. 1 died suddenly & thought this might be the cause. I dewormed & trimmed & it got better, but still present. The worst one, I tried soaking & just couldn't get her clean on my own. Her poo seems normal & skin looks good, but she sleeps with her tail straight up...

Sorry, the first didn't work. I've had no problem moving mine after dark. I now have learned to pick them up each night & remove new eggs that my other hens lay. & when you're ready, you can gently move the eggs & hen to wherever you want them to hatch & stay.

I have a hen that hatched a chick today. She has 7 more eggs, but none of them look close to hatching. I already have 4 week old chicks from another hen so I'm worried about finding places to keep all these chickens of different ages. Will 1 chick with a Mama be ok? Will she abandon the other eggs?

I bought 6 guineas 2 years ago. 4 were killed fairly quickly & I have a male & female left. Last year she laid lots if eggs. I tried twice to incubate & none hatched (but they were fertile, I just failed the process) she went broody twice, but abandoned her eggs a week or so before they hatched...

Tonight I moved her nesting box into a large dog kennel. There's room for her to get out & poop & I put food & water in with her. I put all today's eggs under her (10). So I hope she stays happy & takes care of those eggs.

I have a Wyandotte that went broody 3 weeks ago. Just a few days before her 22 eggs (not all hers) should have hatched, she switched nests. I had been too tired to collect the eggs & I guess she decided the nest with about 12 eggs looked good. Her other eggs were cold... Today she's back to the...

Yep. He's crowing his head off now. I hope he's better behaved than my current rooster (who's about to be soup). But it worries how bossy he is to the hens.

[/IMG] Everyday it looks more rooster like. Either way, he/she ignores me but is very bossy to the hens. My Wyandotte rooster is a terror to humans but is sweet as can be to the hens.

I have several breeds. My newest are 2 light brahamas. Supposed to be females. They are 8 months old. Today one of them became very aggressive I the other chickens. It got to the food first & when others came up, it grabbed them, pulling out feathers and chasing them off. I noticed it's a bit...

I have 4 Orpingtons, 5 wyandottes, 2 light brahamas & 2 guinneas. At night, all are roosting & sleeping except the brahamas (also the youngest. They are 3 months old, the rest are 6 months to 1 year old). I never see the brahamas sleep at all. They are always walking around , making little...

I feed mine this. They don't seem to eat much of it, but mine are healthy after several months.
