It would be nice to have chicks without drama, but that doesn't seem possible. Today is day 21 for my hen that has been broody for several months. When the coop opened this morning she went out, and 3 hours later has not came back. We removed 2 dead chicks from the nest, one was still in the...

I am hoping I am over thinking this, but need reassurance or guidance for corrections. Let me start with I am in the Panhandle of Florida, it was 87 today, but we are having unseasonably cool weather tonight, 55 degrees. 4 weeks ago I had a hen go broody, (of course she did, I had 28 2 week old...

Our first hatched chicks from our flock. Dad is a Barred Rock, and the 2 shell broken were a white one from Banana, our Leghorn, and a pale almost pink egg from Speckles, an Easter Egger. A little surprised, I thought read that the leghorn mix would be gray with ghost barring. Yet here we are...

So I missed the Easter hatch along, however, I did succeed in encouraging 2 Dotties to be broody. Once I convinced them sharing a nesting box wasn't in their best interest(yep, fun, broken eggs AND sparring with TWO broodies to clean it)they have sat on eggs dated the 28th until 4/7. 5 good...

I live in rural NW Florida and I am wanting to expand our flock. We presently have 13 hens (6 Golden Laced Wyandottes, 4 Americauna, a Leghorn, a Turken, a ISA Brown) and 1 Barred Rock rooster. I am looking for good sized eggs, no overly aggressive breeds, and want to add some colorful ladies...

We lost our rooster in a raccon attack months ago and want to replace him. We have 13 ladies of assorted breeds that are about 8 months old. My best friend has offered her 3rd rooster who is a 14 month old Barred Rock. Not concerned about quarantine, as I know where he has been, but wondering...
