Thank you both. That site was very helpful.

I have a hybrid hen about 1 year old. My 2 year daughter closed the back door on her foot. (she was on her way in to steal the dogs food!) She squealed and then ran off. When I caught her, her middle toe was all bent to the side and was very hot. While I was feeling it, it sort of clicked back...

I'm new here but read a lot about broodies when I had one myself. There are very few candling photos after day 14 because there is not much to see in an egg at that stage. Just a big black thing and the air sack. I hope someone with more experience can give you some more information on candling...

Wow that coop is amazing. I love it!

I look forward to seeing your progress. Looks good so far!

Looks great. I've started a coop too and I've learned a lot from your thread and photos. Thanks and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article.

It looks brilliant.

That is brilliant. So unique

Thank you for all your replies, and thanks for the warm welcome

Thanks for your replies. The kids are safe because they won't go into the run anymore, but I'm not enjoying my hens anymore because I'm anticipating an attack. I can't relax when I'm with them. I'll keep him isolated and rehome him. Thanks again.

Hi, I've been reading this forum for months but this is my first post. I have a roo and 3 hens. I got the roo from my sister in law, so not exactly sure of his age but I'd guess maybe 2 years old. He recently started going for me and my 4 year old son. So today after another attack, I isolated...
