    Does this mean i need more boxes??

    It IS what they do, but if they're using all 4 you might want to try adding 1 or 2. I wouldnt run out and build/buy new ones, but a milk crate or even a cardboard box sitting in the corner may take some of the pressure off. They may all decide they want to use the cardboard box. Never try and...

    How to pick the best Rooster?

    I would say mostly nature, but probably a bit of both. I've had rosters that were treated well, but still turned into satan. Most of mine have been good though. All of them have been raised in a hands off, you do you and I'll do me type of environment.

    How to pick the best Rooster?

    How old are these 2? If they're still cockerels their personalities will likely change as they mature. Separating them to allow them to act as they would without the companion of each other is a good plan. In general roosters are poor protection from predators, but can serve the purpose of...

    Solid effort olive egger, but i expect more out of you.

    Nope. She's a couple of years old. Just a complete lack of effort on her part 😆

    How do you free range new pullets that aren't tamed?

    I'd keep them locked up for 2 weeks. You shouldn't have to catch them. They should go home at dusk all on their own.

    Game hen help

    Agreed. If your goal is hatching them, incubator. She's not broody and you have no way of knowing if she will be anytime soon (or ever). She may go broody with the next clutch, but if you want to hatch from this one, it's incubator time.

    Should I get a rooster?

    I always have roosters. Why? Simply because I like having roosters and now and then a hen will go broody and hatch some chicks (which I also like). I've had roosters that were nice, mean and anywhere in between. I've also had roosters that would defend their ladies and ones that would be the...

    Free range to coop living?

    12x12 coop, but no run? You said they won't be free ranging anymore, so just stuck in the 12x12 structure all the time? IF I'm understanding that correctly, I wouldn't choose that for my chickens. It's a good sized coop, but no access to outside would be a deal breaker for me. I like to let my...

    Fertilizing Eggs

    Odds are it's going to take some time before you see consistent fertility. When you first put him with your hens he's going to be immature, overwhelmed and confused on how to conduct himself. The girls will put him in his place and teach him manners, but it takes time. He'll likely breed a...

    Can old hens who stopped laying get broody?

    What's there to question? You said you had it happen. I'm confused 🤔

    Take a look at this 4 ounce egg!

    It could be a triple yolk. Incubating is probably not going to go well. I'd just fry it in some bacon grease and eat it. Everything's better with bacon grease 😆
