Does anyone know why my hen, who has been broody for the first time, has suddenly abandoned her nest of eggs? They were approximately a week or less from hatching. She's been diligent about setting, except for to get a bite to eat & to get a drink, however, last night when I went out to lock...

My chickens have a fenced yard that they dwell in freely every day, but I also let them free range outside of that yard (which is quite large) when I am home & running in & out... mainly so that I can run them back in if they get outside of my property. I agree with the others, that's just a...

Me either!! 😳

....& Thank you!

OK, this is her....

This isn't her, but her sister.

She was actually kind of a cream & brown. Who would have thought that she'd turn out to be this color... LOL. I'll see if I can find a picture of her from when I first got her.

Yes, Yes, that's what everyone has told me that she is. She's a sweetheart!

Sounds like you ran into the same thing that I did. I bought what was supposed to have been Sapphire Gems, & this is what I got. I love them regardless, I'm just saying that I didn't get what they were advertising.

Thank you!! Well, I got her at Tractor Supply, as a baby chicks (pullet). Of course they had a 6 minimum, & they supposedly had the Rhode Island Reds, the Silver Wyandottes, & the Sapphire Gems together... so I bought 2 of each. The Rhode Island Reds & Wyandottes are what they were supposed to...

Can someone tell me what breed this is? I know what I was supposed to have gotten when I purchased it & another one just like her, but from what I Google they don't look anything like what they're supposed to be.

Thanks! Here they are.

Thank you!! I'm not sure exactly how old they are, but I know where they originally came from, so I'm guessing that they are in the neighborhood of 2 years old.

Thank you so much! I was concerned that they might not be getting the proper nutrition. I don't know a thing about turkeys, but I think 2 of them are Royal Palms, & the other a Slate (Blue Slate?).
