    1 year old hen passed suddenly

    Yeah... I'm sorry. I lost one of my R.I. R.s a few weeks past that way too. Out in the yard one day and dead in the nest that or the next night I think. She was a pretty girl. Now I pray closer attention to them and how they are acting. Even so.... they are small beings and do get health...

    What breed or gender?

    It's all trial and error. I guess we all just see what really works for us and our flocks. 🥰

    Of the wing feathers have more layers then the other - see the photo I attached it should be a hen.

    What breed or gender?

    What breed or gender?

    I came across a tik toke video I think that has a seemingly accurate comparison. The female will have more wing feather layers and her tail feathers will be developing. The male will not have his tail feathers developing yet or not as distinguished. I did save the photo comparison so will...

    Egg shells

    I recently started saving all of my raw egg shells from baking. At first I just stored them in a sealed container in the fridge, then baked them in the oven until dry and cooked through, checking periodically and crushing them them in-between. I put them in the couple for the hens to peck at...

    Overall confused, broody hen, day 25, killing chicks?

    I think she was stressed and confused myself. No mom to be wants to be put someplace unfamiliar- cats will hide their kitties if you mess with them. Maybe just leave them be next time. Just a thought.
