When I first got my hen at a month old, she would always roost but lately (now six months old and starting to lay) she won't even touch the roosting stick. Is there something I should be worried about?
I don't know if there is already a thread like this but post pics of your chickens, rooster's and/or hen's. I'm interested in seeing the variety of breeds out there.
Hey guys, I'm planning on trying to get fertile eggs from my hen. The only problem is that I don't own a rooster but a friend of mine does. I believe the rooster is over a year old and my hen is around 6 months. Now, is it possible to introduce my friends rooster to my hen for a short time so...

Yeah haha. My only problem is that I can't have roosters. So my best bet to hatching my own chicks is to order fertile eggs and either incubating it or letting my hen hatch it. That's to bad
