I currently have a broody hen who has been sitting on eggs for about two weeks. Should I let the hen raise them herself after they hatch or should I take care of them. I have six hens and one rooster(who is very nice). Just for extra info.

I have a rhode island red rooster, and buff orpington and EE hens. Will the rooster mate with the others hens, and what type of cross would it make.

females do have combs

those are production rir's

When is the peck order supposed to start. I've seen some of my 2 week old chicks having "stare downs". Just wondering .when it starts

I was wondering when I can start giving treats to my four day old chicks. I also want some ideas for treats to give to them.

I just got my 13 chicks today. All of them seem fine except for this one golden sebright. It just seemed to sleep most of the day. I've seen it drink water a couple of times, but I haven't seen it eat any food yet. Just wondering what I can do to help it or what's wrong with it.

actually you could probably pick the book up at your local feedstore.

yeah I'd suggest storeys guide to. That is literally the chicken bible. It cost around $16

I started out with rir's and they are great layers, and they do better than most breeds in extreme temps.

It would probably work well, but you could build a bigger better coop for less.

I've ordered 4 golden sebright st. run, 3 rir pullets, 3 buff orp pullets and 4 EE's 3 pullets 1 roo. I ordered them from ideal, they're supposed to come on 5/7/08. I just wanted to know some of the qualities about these breeds. Thank You

I have had standard sized rir, and the hens will let you pick them right up. But standard rir roos are vicious. I have a friend who has bantam rosecombed rir and the hens and roos are nice.

Is it ok to mix bantams with standards. I'm going to buy them as chicks so they would be raised together.

I saw this video in school a while ago and it just got more annoying as more people play it. I can't stand this video.

that chicken in the first picture that is brownish reddish is a production red. I have some of those and they're great egg layers.

what breed of hens are flying into the trees?

looks like a silver laced wydanotte rooster.
