Yes I have a Roo we kinda want her to hatch these eggs but like I said she keeps moving to the othe rbox that the other hens are laying in

Ok I have a hen that is broody. My question is every day she is switching nest boxes after the other hens lay. I tried to move her to be by herself but as soon as I moved her off the eggs she ran back in and started breaking them. Should I just take the eggs from the other box and place them...

She is the dominant hen so I would think the other hens would leave her alone. As for birds of prey my run as a roof over it. But maybe I will build a small coop for her if needed.

Ok Im kinda new at this. I have had chickens for a year now but just recently added a Roo in with them. I now have a hen that has been sitting in a nest box for the last 2 days. She will let me come close to her but if I reach my hand out she pecks at it. She is in the box that all the other...

I was told that if you gather your eggs everyday you dont have to worry about them getting fertilized. Is this true. Please help.

Ok today might have worked. I went out there with a broom. When he came at me I chased him into the corner. I held his head down with the broom and once I let him up he didnt move until I left teh run. Now he use to run at the fence when I was there now when I come close to the run he goes...

Thanks for all the advice. I tried the water today and it works until I put the hose down. I think tomorrow I will put on a jacket and see if I can t hold him down.

My son hatched chicks in science class and was able to bring 2 of them home. The 2 that we got were a hen and a Roo. They were told that they are RIR chicks. They are now out with the other hens for about a month now. Problem is that the Roo just started attacking us. Before we put him in...

Quote: YES!! Thank you!! I did this exact same thing works good

I was wondering the same thing. I have 8 RIR and 1 Plymoth Rock at least that what I think it is. The person we got them from said they were very good layers. Didnt say how many she was getting per day. I am getting 4 eggs a day regulary. I have gotten as many as 8 and as few as 1. I know...

I have been offering the oystershell just wanted to make sure I could mix the broiler krumb in with the layer krumb that I have been feding them. Thanks for the info

I have a bag of broiler krumb left over from my meat birds. I was wondering if it would be alright to feed to my layers. Its something like 23% protein. I just really dont want this to go to waste. Thanks.

I just got some RIR hens and when I asked the lady if she gave them grit or oyster shells she said no becasue they were let out in her yard every day. Where I am at I cannot do this so my question is do I feed them both oyster shells and grit. She did say that some of the eggs do have soft...

2 of them are over a year old and the rest are at least 5 months. A couple of them started laying again today. We now have 4 eggs

I just got 9 RIR hens for free. The lady I got them from said that they are all very productive layers. About how long will it take before they start laying again? This is my first attempt at this. Thanks

Once a year raise enough to make it through the whole year
