    Urgent is this a Roo please

    Breed and Gender Help Please

    Hi, these are my two new very timid ladies Ginger and Eddie. I bought them as a Bluebell and a Maran age 20 weeks, they are not yet laying but was told they should be within a week or two. However my hubby is convinced they are both Roo's as they are being picked on by the other ladies and...

    Will they ever mix?

    Morning all, just a quick update to my original thread. My three new pol lohmans (Stevie, Shaun and Hyacinth) are mixing quite well with old ladies and Rocky, they all go out free ranging together the new ones keep together and are quite happy and Rocky sticks with the old original ladies.

    Will they ever mix?

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes I kept them in the coop and run before I let them free range. The brown ones are in and out all day with the old ladies, the gate to the run is left open and they can come and go as they please, but the bluebell and maran will still not move. I think it may be a...

    Kindest Way to Break V Hen, Taken Eggs Away!

    Ok so last night I opened up the coop to let the chickens into bed and Rafa the broody went straight into a different nest box (inevitable I suppose). She came out briefly this morning then straight back in. So what I have just done is took her off her new nest and isolated her in the wooden...

    spot on rooster

    I'm so pleased you have put this post on as I have been searching this site for the same answer! My year old hen has also got one in the same place and keeps pecking at it. She has been sat on the nest for 26 days so I presumed it was something to do with being broody, but obviously not. Hope...

    Kindest Way to Break V Hen, Taken Eggs Away!

    Hi all, I have had a hen sat now for 26 days, and realised I must do the kindest thing for her sake, and take away the eggs.
