I have a broody!!! I also found out my cross beak is laying. Poor thing was going to be culled soon! I am tired of keeping after her beak and helping her stay clean(ish). I figured she wasn't laying, and never would. Having the Ameraucana on sick leave proved that Cadbury was laying!

I don't mind keeping up with her if she will give me my blue eggs.

I hope that doesn't sound mean.
So 26 eggs in the incubator, and five under a broody. 37 chickens running around, and BO coming soon. I only wanted 30 max.
I'd say I have a problem, but it is so much fun!!

Ha Sounds like me. 2 months ago I only wanted 6 layers.... I think last count we were at 46 chickens and 4 ducklings, and no eggs since I don't have a bator....yet

. I really need to figure out what to do with the ducks, I don't mind if they end up on the table, but as far as my sister is concerned they're "hers" ....Other than buying them she has yet to put a dime into them, or a minute into their care (not to mention she's moving into a 3rd floor apartment in WB in the next week or so), so as far as I AM concerned they're mine

. Sorry for the rant, but it's just like "her" dogs, cats and fish, they're only "her's" when we try to find new homes or in the case of the ducks freezer camp.

On another note, I've looked up the procedure to caponize roosters, and I'm just wondering if anyone on here has done that. It looks fairly simple, and I plan on "practicing" on the roosters that will be culled anyway (once they're culled) so I can get anatomy and such down. Any guidance would be appreciated, the info on I found on the other threads was helpful, but I figure the more info the better it will go for me and the boys.
 
Anyone want to take a look at my 11-12wk old hen and tell me what you think? She started showing signs of this at 4-5wks. She eats, drinks, plays well with others. She just doesn't use her one leg. At first we thought maybe she dislocated her leg, but we are new to this and pretty naive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
 
Donna I cant view it right now, Daddo and kiddo just downloaded a bunch of games and I am almost out of data!! turds!
 
Looking for 2 pullets. Around 10 weeks old. Doesn't really matter what kind, but would prefer good egg layers and ones that aren't going to freeze to death in the winter. I am in Centre County near State College.

just wondering what your reasoning is behind wanting to caponize some of your birds? What kind of anesthesia will you use?
 
How hard is it to move a broody and her eggs. I want to move her to a chicken tractor, where she will stay until the chicks hatch and maybe even after if she is a good mother. I need the area she is in now to move my ducklings into.
