After 6+ years of owning chickens I have never had a nice rooster. I tried multiple times to have a rooster in my flock but it never seemed to work out for a couple of reasons.

So I’ve had a broody chicken for months and have tried to break her broodiness over and over but she just doesn’t give up. I don’t have a rooster so she hasn’t been able to hatch any chicks so at this point I’ve considered buying her some chicks to raise as her own. The only issue I face is the...

So I have a chicken that has a very swollen butt, almost as if her organs all fell into her butt.

She’s about a year old and has plucked all of her chest feathers leaving only skin. I know this is a thing broody chickens do, is it a sign she’s broody? She isn’t clucking or puffing yet.

I was cracking eggs when one of them came out with blood in the egg white but not the yolk, does anyone know why my hen laid an egg with blood in it? It wasn’t a super large egg or anything it was just an average sized agh so it wasn’t a size problem. I have no roosters so that rules out a...

I can't believe it! She's a leghorn too! She went broody in June and hatched two chicks sadly they both went missing at different times. But now she's gone broody again and I think I know why we have had some attacks recently and I heard chickens will often go broody after an attack to replace...

All of my hens that aren't supposed to go broody do, I have no idea why I've had leghorns go broody, now I have an Ancona hen going in the pre broody stage along with my buff orphington. Do any of you know why so many of my supposed non broody breeds go broody?

But then she gets off her nest...
