    They’ve all gone broody!!

    Alrighty... I’ve got three Australorp hens who’ve all decided to go broody. I’ve got seven hens total but only 3 nesting boxes lol (of which they all used to use one) Now I’ve got three puffy ladies in the boxes and four furious hens who want to lay their eggs. I gave the first one who went...

    Silly idea?

    I’ve got a hen who I think is going broody. My flock is made up of 8 six month old Australorps and 1 barred rock. All hens. Would it be ridiculous to put a couple of silkie eggs under her? I’d love to add some Floof to my flock but want to see how y’all think they will accept the little ones? My...

    Fertilized egg or no?

    Hey hey! I cooked up some eggs this morning and a few of them had what I thought might be a bullseye. Funny thing is I don’t have a rooster.... or maybe I do and haven’t noticed him yet lol they’re about 6 months old.

    Could she be broody?

    I’ve got a black Australorp hen (just barely a hen at 6 months) who’s hanging out in the nesting box all day. Everyone else is out free ranging and being normal. She will come out for a drink or food then go right back in. She not purring or fluffed up but is determined to stay in the box. Comb...

    Guess that sex lol

    Yet another guess the sex thread lol. The barred bird is who I’m wondering about. They are 5 weeks and I had assumed it was a cockerel but he’s awfully dark... any thoughts?

    What’s this?

    My chicks are 3 weeks old and I’ve noticed a couple of them kinda squatting and trying to roll... is this them just trying to dust bathe or is something wrong with them? I’ve got em out in the sunshine today so here’s a pic of one of them doing it. She seems totally fine otherwise.

    Time to go outside

    Hey y’all! My babies are just shy of 3 weeks old and feathering out nicely. I’ve been letting them spend some time out in the cool air, and have removed the MHP. They don’t seem to care the heat is gone at all. Id really like to get them into the coop this weekend especially since it looks like...

    Chicks not under MHP for night

    Alrighty another worried mama here. My girls are two weeks old today and feathering nicely. They have been spending most of the day out from under the MHP but popping in when needed. Tonight I checked on them before going upstairs and they’re all huddled to the other side away from the pad...

    Medicated Feed

    Hey y’all! I started my chicks on medicated feed mostly out of fear and now that I’m out of that bag I’m thinking about switching to non medicated. Is this an ok switch or should I keep going with how i started them? The ladies are almost 2 weeks old and have had some dirt clumps and things from...

    Mystery chick?

    I ordered 9 black australorps and Meyer also sent an additional meal maker bird. When I first got them they all looked alike so I thought maybe they just tossed in an additional australorp. Now that they are getting feathers this one seems to be slightly different than the rest. What do you all...

    Expanded the brooder

    Hey! I’ve got 10 week old black australorp chickies and they’re growing like weeds! I decided to give them a bit of an upgrade on space. So far they can all make it through the hole I cut, but some it’s a bit of a struggle. Thinking about making the hole a bit lower, but still want room for...
