[COLOR=8B4513]Bonbon (my avatar) started out being broody in a nesting box and things were fine for a week. Then my BR decided she wanted to use the box Bonbon was in, and the scuffle resulted in a broken hatching egg. I put Bonbon in a small converted rabbit hutch coop, but if your broody doesn't want to move-- you and CCCHICKENS have good ideas to make a chicken wire or screen cover. I tried to think of ideas using something you may have or using inexpensive solutions and then I decided to show photos. That's one reason I am behind on the thread . . . something will interest me and I decide to brainstorm and research for fun, and the next thing I know, it's late.

Thanks for the ideas! I actually had some of plastic chicken wire fence on hand so I put that over the box and made hooks out of some nails. I put it up this morning and it seems to be working so far. I'll let you all know how it goes. By the time I went out this morning there was an extra egg in her box, she was sitting in a different box, and there was another hen in her box so I think she's playing musical nests because the other hens are kicking her out. I'll have to go look at the shade cloth stuff. I defiantly need more shade in their run!

Never heard of this game. How do you play?

you need 12- as many people. first you squat down and you find someone else that is a egg then you play rock,paper,scissors shoot then if you win you are a chicken and you find someone else who is a chicken then you play rock,paper.,scissors shoot. oh and if you loose you are still a egg then when you are a chicken you flap your wings and when if you win you are a dino and if you loose the round you are a chicken but if you win you are a human then it keeps going till everyone is a human. its fun.

Help Needed Please ~ Attacked or Self-Inflicted Wound?

I noticed that my 2 year old EE hen, Roadrunner, had a bloody wound on the side of her head this morning. I let them out extra early, so I couldn't figure out why she possibly was attacked by another hen. Plus, none of the other hens have ever attacked another one before. I finally got ahold of her, washed the area with Dawn and warm water, rinsed, and applied Rooster Booster no-peck stuff. The wound appeared to be around her ear area. I noticed she had bloody claws as though she did it to herself, so I'm wondering if she was itching her ear. When I looked up mites, etc., I didn't find anything specific about ear mites. Otherwise, she looks and acts fine.

Has anyone had this type of experience or knows what to do? Thank you!

Is it possible that she may have gotten her head stuck through something that she caught it on pulling her head out?
