    How to get broody hens to sit on eggs on the floor

    She is now in a nest 2 ft off the ground sitting on 13 eggs at various stages of development, and there are some that are within a few days of hatching. I’m assuming that it would be pretty hard to switch her to the floor once the chick start to hatch. So could I put them on the floor after...

    Pinless peepers

    I have 30 hens that have been wearing them for 45 days. They were used to stop pecking at the throat area at night on the roost. The chickens look to be healing and growing back feathers. I was wondering if I could remove them now ? Thank you Connie
