    Broody hens, no chics

    Thanks for the advice. The original girl snapped out of it after I forced them both out and shut the coop. The other one (the one I'm completely intimidated by) has been much tougher. I removed the second level floor of an outdoor rabbit hutch and replaced it with chicken wire. She'll be raised...

    What breed is this?

    Can you tell me where this picture came from. This is my bird exactly. I searched online, but none of the pics look like her. And she is female for sure, she is BROODY and won't come off the nest. Thanks

    Is feather eating Cannibalism?

    Hello. I am brand new to this. We just got our first chicks on Sunday. 5 Black Australorp and 4 Rhode Island Red. They were pretty well feather plucked at the farm store and I thought it was because there were so many chicks in the tubs they were kept in. I figured with more space they would...
