    Multiple chicken groups

    I think it is male but not sure (EE). I think it is, but FB people think it is she :) But, if she is he, then I am not keeping her :) What do you think? Long neck and tail. And noticeably bigger that the other two EEs.

    Multiple chicken groups

    Thank you for your advice. I had a couple of broody hens before, and they raised their chicks in the flock. It was very amazing. But, that time there were a mom team :) So, I was wondering if that worked because there were two mom protecting the chicks. I agree everyone has different settings...

    Multiple chicken groups

    Thank you so much for your time and advice! Really appreciated it. One more question. Do you move broody hens when they start incubating or done with hatching? Mine is sitting now in her nest. I am afraid if I move her now then, she will no adjust new nest. Thank you!

    Multiple chicken groups

    It is getting a bit complicated than what I expected. So, When I moved to this new house, I bought a nice chicken coop with 15 hens and 3 died after winter. I noticed that 4 of them are not laying now or very inconsistently laying. So, we decided to cull them next month. Then, I bought 6 chicks...

    Girl or boy? What do you think?-EE and Sliver laced Wyand.

    They are between 6-7 weeks old. I think they are male, but what do you think? I were labeled as pullets at a feed store. But, sometimes errors can happen? Especially, the EE is a lot bigger than the two and has impressive feather in its neck. Thanks!

    Adding new chickens in a flock

    Thank you for your advice. But, I am not sure if I can section the coop. However, I have an extra coop that I wanted to use for another flock coming in May. If I keep these 7 weeks old in the extra coop for 6 weeks, considering they would become 13-14 weeks old and bigger, would they big enough...

    Adding new chickens in a flock

    Hello, I have 12 grown up hens and 7 weeks old pullets that I need to introduce to the older ones. I have a couple of questions. 1. I plan to bring the young ones at night to the coop. And in the morning, when I let my chickens out, do I let them out too? Will they find their way back? 2. If...

    2 weeks old chicks

    Two of my hens hatched 3 chicks and they are 2 weeks old. I separate them from other hens, no roosters. But, those little ones keep escaping from the coop! The other hens haven't attack or hurt them yet. But, I am wondering when I can combine them together with other hens with moms. Would moms...

    Broody Orpington

    I have read that buff orpington tends to go broody than any other breeds. I have a blue splash orpington. Would different orpingtons go broody like buff? Also, I hope to hatch some eggs from her. That means I need to separate her from the flock. Now, when she is ready to go back, would she have...

    Can a hen by her self in a small coop?

    I have a bully hen I need to separate from the flock. I have an extra small coop in the run. It is cold winter here in Michigan. I am wondering if she can be by herself in the coop without heat for a week or so. What do you think? Thanks!
