    2 Hens, 1 Clutch

    Hey y’all! I’m curious if anyone else has ever had this happen. I have a hen (1) who had been sitting on eggs for weeks and they were due to start hatching anytime. I also had another hen (2) trying to go broody. I wasn’t going to let her sit because it’s starting to get cooler… I checked...

    Beak problem? (Pictures included)

    I have an 18 week old lavender Orpington that seems to have a beak issue. I noticed it this morning not sure if it’s anything I should treat or worry about... not sure if one of my older girls got her yesterday before they went up last night? I have two flocks of hens who have separate coops and...

    Blue Orpington

    Y’all have made me the happiest chicken mama! The reason I thought she was a cockerel is her feet are bigger than my lavender Orpingtons (I couldn’t remember my buffs at this age) and she started to get a comb before all the others and it’s That’s what got my wheels turning... She seems to be a...

    Blue Orpington

    I believe I have a Blue Orpington cockerel... I don’t want a one. My last experience with a roo left me with a bad taste so I got an LGD and swore them off. But here we are... 12 weeks... please tell me I’m wrong!

    Introducing chicks and new coop

    There is a small run that will be attached to the new coop but not much of one. Old coop I will keep in case I have to quarantine or get the fever for more... probably the latter. What I’m currently doing until I get my new coop is when my girls are free ranging I put them in a cage and let...

I will be introducing the chicks into the flock after my new coop is built. My new coop will probably be able to hold...

    LGD question - freeranging

    Oh no. I’m not considering her even being outside like that until at least 2 years. We have an electric fence company coming out today.

    LGD question - freeranging

    hi y’all! We recently purchased a 15 week old Great Pyrenees who was brought up with chickens since the day she was born.

    Scared to Free Range

    You may want to consider getting a rooster, if your going to free range. We’ve had two dog attacks and lost only one hen because of him. He has taken the brunt of the beatings.

    Scared to Free Range

    Hi! Ours started free ranging at about two months old. We started them out only free ranging when we were outside and I’d say by the time they were 3 months we let them completely stay out as long as they wanted. We have 40 acres and they’ve never wondered off. They stay right around our house...
