Hi,
The upper beaks of 3 of my hens is swollen and shorter than the upper beak. They look healthy otherwise and are eating fine. Anyone know what this is or what to do?
When should I put mama hen back with the other hens and keep chicks separate? The chicks are hen hatched and raised living with mom in a separate section f the cop and pen. At 5 weeks they are hoping all around her and on her. Does Ebony [MOM] need a break? I have 2 hens with their chicks in...
What Do the male and female chicks of a Rhode Island Red roo and a Buff Orpington hen look like? How about the chicks of an aracuna hen and RIR roo?Thanks for the help...I've got a lot of cute 3 week old chicks running about....each of my 5 hens contributed eggs to the broody hen's nest.
Hi, I'm new to the forum this is my first Spring with chickens. I have 2 hens sitting on eggs in the egg-laying boxes of the coop...3 feet off the ground. It is day18-20 and I am realizing that I should have moved them to their own nesting area weeks ago. What to do?
1. should I move them now...
