Did you ever try and did it work?

I have a question about broodiness of RIRB. As I've stated previously they are 3 years old, but I've only had them a couple of months now. I'd LOVE to hatch some of their eggs and prefer a broody hen to do it. How likely is it for one of them to go broody? Is there any way to "help" them go...

I bought some alfalfa seeds to plant in a certain area of my yard, since it is mostly dirt right now. I thought it would be a good idea to have some fresh alfalfa, along with a few different types of clover (white, red & yellow flower varieties). I have already planted the red & white clover...

Got the DE and it worked! I put it out yesterday and I was shocked to see all 3 of my Reds we're in it. Yay! Now I know they like the DE so I will keep it on hand. Thanks for advice!

Hello! I'm new to owning chickens and to this forum. I live in Baton Rouge.

Hi. I'm new to chickens. Just got a trio of Rhode Island Red Bantams yesterday, from a guy looking to get rid of them, one rooster and two hens 3 years old. This was after I'd bought 6 chicks from a friend, that are now 3 weeks old. So not only am I raising chicks for the first time, but I have...
