Thanks! They aren't picking on her at all, luckily. She just doesn't go back to the coop at night. she goes and roosts on the fence or tree... And she's black so finding her isn't the easiest. Lol
Hi everyone! I raised 15 chick, 6 of them belonged to a friend. She took her 6 when her coop was finished. All but 1 were eaten last week by a possum. I took the final one back to give her a chance at life! My flock accepted her back with no issues, however, she will not coop herself at night...
I have a hen that has decided to be broody. She's going on two weeks now of laying on a golf ball. I'm debating on giving her some fertilized eggs to hatch, or not. I'm not opposed to having another chick or two but we don't have a rooster so I would have to get some eggs from a friend. Is this...
Whew!! Thanks! My husband had me convinced that she was a he because her comb is bigger than the others but her body shape and feathers are the same so I wasn't sure. Glad she's going to lay! Her name is Rooster... Can't change it now, she knows it! Lol
Been lurking here for a while and decided I need to jump in and learn more about my chickens! I have so many questions and I'm ready to learn! Right now I have 2 Australorps, 2 golden sexlinks (one of which may be a rooster???), and 1 buff that I got at 2 days old. They are all now almost 4...
