This is great information. I kinda had an idea what both were, but not completely. I have yet to go check on her this morning, but I think she is just broody :)

Thank you so much! As of now she doesn't seem aggressive, but we will see in the next few days :) I knew most likely she was going broody but it seemed so soon and I wanted to make sure! We do not have a rooster, and we live in a neighborhood so I don't think anybody else around us has eggs...

We have a very sweet Japanese bantam who has been in the nesting box for at least 4 or 5 hours. She is about 5 months old and has been laying an egg everyday for about a month now. I went out to check on her and found that she layed her egg already today. Every time I pick her up or move her...

Thank you very much! I was informed that her nail got bent and then eventually fell off last night, had I known this last night I would have taken care of it. I figured now if she wasn't in pain that I didn't need to do anything except keep an eye on it. I appreciate the information!

We just got back from a week of camping (our neighbors have been taking care of the chickens), and we realized last night that our silkie, Myrtle, is missing a toenail! The whole thing just kind of came off, I guess. There is a very small scab and we have not seen any blood. It doesn't seem to...

I just got two of these little cuties too! They are about four weeks old now, and very sweet. I've had a hard time finding information about sexing them as well, but I've heard that comb size in these birds are a huge indicator in sexing. Don't take my word for it as I have yet to determine...

I just got chicks and I live in a very hot area as well, so I am thankful for this thread (110 degree weather all summer! So fun!). I've read about freezing fruits for them and wading pools and such, but I also read about making a "cool room" for them. Basically, you get a large metal trash...

Id love to see what these cuties end up looking like!

https://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2016/04/the-secret-to-hatching-hens-not-roosters.html I did end up finding this link, which says that the eggs do not change. I'm unsure of how accurate something like this is, I was just hoping someone on here had tried it before and could let me know, I was...

Thank you very much! I'll definitely read more thoroughly. My assumption was that the females (or males) would hatch and the other eggs just wouldn't. This is very interesting!

While I am not hatching eggs now, nor do I think I will be any time soon, I read about something before and I was curious as to if it was true, and how it worked if it was true. I saw that one way to get pullets vs cockerels was the incubation temperature. I have since been unable to find the...

We are just finishing up with week two of raising our first chicks. We only have four, as we live in town and wanted them to have more than enough space to be comfortable. Two Saturdays ago, the trip to Tractor Supply was made and we excitedly picked out two little yellow banties (which I...

Hi there! I'm Chloe and I've always loved chickens. I think my opsession started one year at Tractor Supply when I was little, the baby chicks were there and I've been wanting them ever since. Long story short, my parents had to drag me out while I was sobbing. I think once my parents finally...
