    HELP Single chick advice

    How cute! The cage she's in is too big but I have other cages. The last 2 nights I have physically put her in the coop and she hunkered down with the hens when I checked a few minutes later.

    Funny looking feet

    Thanks everyone. They Roost on 2 x 4s. There's plenty of thick bedding in their coop. She still has all of her toes. I'll keep an eye out for any changes, or signs of infection.

    How to Break a Broody Hen

    Thanks. Yeah, not quite sure what she is. She has quite the personality though. That is her buff Orpington chick she hatched the last time she went broody. There was also an EE along with that clutch. She is a great Mom.

    How to Break a Broody Hen

    Thank you. I'll try that. I hate keeping her caged. This is the 3rd time she's gone broody. The first time broke in like 3 days. The second time we bought some fertilized eggs. This time she's taking her time!
