    Mixing 6-7 week old pullets with 6yo hen

    hmmm, maybe I will wait on the silkies until the other chickens are broody then. I don’t want anyone to get hurt. Is what I’m doing with silkies + larger fowl a normal thing?

    Mixing 6-7 week old pullets with 6yo hen

    I don’t think she puffs up, but she grumbles a little bit. She was just walking around the backyard for the last 20min and now just hopped back into the nest. Also, her legs are white and have an extra talon in the back. Our buff Orpington didn’t have that extra talon there.

    Mixing 6-7 week old pullets with 6yo hen

    They are brown eggs and before the other one died, she would lay every once and a while... never could tell who was laying since they both were to some degree. Frequency was questionable since they’re obviously older. Thursday was the last egg we got from her.

    Mixing 6-7 week old pullets with 6yo hen

    ah, which brings me to another question for you... so we have had some fake eggs in the nests for a while, trying to get the two hens to become broody so we could stick some chicks in there, but the chickens were not keen on it. Now that there is only one hen, for the last 5 days since the other...

    Mixing 6-7 week old pullets with 6yo hen

    Would a dog kennel work for this situation? Could I just put some shavings in there with a bowl of water and a bowl of feed?

    Mixing 6-7 week old pullets with 6yo hen

    Hi there! So this last weekend, our favorite of our two hens passed away. We are thinking it was from the heat wave that came through. :( This has left us with one lonely hen who is clearly sad, so we wanted to get her some friends to keep her company. I found someone local who has 7 week old...
