I would suggest getting a few experienced hens and adding them to your flock.

Most young chickens are scared of a snake. But if you have an old flock like mine that's been around 50 years plus. (New members obviously but the roots are old and many generations experience in their blood i inherited my flock from my mother)My chickens have always killed a snake that's gotten...

I have had chickens a very long time. Most of my 40 years. It's been a few years but I didnt have a rooster for my free range flock. Mine was killed. At the time only hens. One was attacked by my neighbors dog as a pullet. She was alive still but crippled up. She squatted down and hobbled around...

My rooster awhile back and one of bgtge hens t

The little guy in the multiple picture. One closest to camera is different from my others. He has alot more frost on him.

How cold is too cold to let her try being a momma?

Anyone have any pictures or have made this cross? Idk what to expect

It's going to be a job starting from scratch on the dogs again but it makes free range chickens much easier. It helps to get and keep another dog to be trained by the last dog but I slipped up and only had one that a pack of coyotes got ahold of. I'm thinking about getting this ones brother as...

I had a Sheppard LGD once that loved to hunt rats. They stayed away with him around. Just a thought

No she isn't caring for the chicks. She was miserable yet doing it anyway. I took her back to my new flock where she came from. She is the main one whom hovers close to the babies in brooder outside. I'm convinced now that's what it is. Even my young rooster is acting like he wants to swell up...

Its higher in coop. See now I thought that may be an issue before with roost too high. But never was a problem before. My old flock was using this same coop for years until I moved them to another one. Then the new flock came and took the hand me down coop

No. My old flock is across the property. Acres away. The flocks tolerate each other but dont mingle.

No. They are established there. They were roosting fine and returning every night on their own. Trouble started when I put new brood outside. May just be a coincidence though. Idk

I've 2 flocks. One is ancient and isn't the problem. The other Is comprised of 6 month old hens and a 6 month old rooster. 8 strong. I have 2 big coops. One car garage sized. The older flock has the nicer one but both are more than adequate. I have my young 3 week olds in a brooder on carport...

Thanks everyone. I am keeping her and the chicks inside the house for a couple more days together just to be sure. Next I'm not too sure but I'm not letting other chickens get to them at first without introductions. I have a couple good size cages I can move inside the main coop or I can put a...

Yes I can.

I brought her inside with the chicks. She was hating it at first like usual inside. But when I put her in cage with the chicks she instantly changed. I moved my brooder light way over to just cover a corner of cage. She sat and let the chicks crawl under. Shocked! I've only seen this happen...

Had 11 baby chicks a few days ago. In incubator. I have this sexlink hen who is super friendly. Nicest hen I got. She's a middle of the pecking order hen. All of a sudden i got the idea to let her see the new chicks. She clicked and purred to them through the cage so i let her in. She wants to...

I've only saw 2 hens my whole life who would adopt any chick any time. Broody or not. They were both Old English Game bantams. Good luck
