    Special needs chicken

    I don't mean to piggy back on this thread, but I think I've got a special little guy and need advice. He gets lost easily and stands still and hollers for his mini flock. They don't always come to his rescue. They are 7 week old bantams. What can I do to keep him safe? Run? RN he is "free...

    Laid a soft shelled egg in the middle of the yard while we were all outside. Jack is now Jackie.

    We've got crowing, if you can call it that! 😂 Banty practice is the best!

    SWVA bantam cockerals

    I've got a few boys here I'd be into rehoming. We got two straight run bantams batches this spring. Extra boys here if anyone likes the bantams. Old English and buff brahmas(guessing). The OEGbantams are around 6 weeks and the BBbantams are around 3 weeks.

    Nesting Box Curtain

    Golf balls are successful?? I have those kicking around, I don't really want to buy wooden eggs but if I must, I must.

    Nesting Box Curtain

    I've gotta do it. I'm losing too much food with them hiding nests.

    Nesting Box Curtain

    I've got one girl doing the same thing. I'm not sure which one, but they were all using the box and now I've got one who puts her egg at the front steps or at my front door. It's a mystery to me.

    First time chick mom

    I've gotten birds marked as "pullets" and still ended up with a roo. Unless they are sexlink birds, I wouldn't count on the hatchery sexing them at 100% accuracy. I was told by a girl, 80-90% is more likely.

    Ever hear of this sexing trick?

    The OEGB clutch has become 3 boys and 3 girls according to my eyes. Only just coming 5 weeks but the combs are so obvious plus the behaviors. Hubby got a second clutch of straight run. These are looking like maybe buff brahmas bantams? I tried looking around here and Google to identify breed...

    Egg hiding

    You know of course, they all laid in the coop today. Making me out to be a liar 😉

    Egg hiding

    Thank you! I was wondering if they can withhold until they find the choice spot and if some lay later on in the day- but you scienced it right out for me! I appreciate that and am always surprised with how nature works.

    Egg hiding

    Thank you everyone! I know it's common sense stuff sometimes. My brain is overworked and needed solutions.
