    A hen went broody and she has been sitting for a while.......

    You do not have room for a hen and her chicks, but you intend to hatch more than one brood of chicks. I'm sorry, I really don't understand. Good luck with your endeavors. 🤔

    Any chance of stopping rooster attacking my dog?

    You have more patience than I would. Life is to short to put up with a miserable animal, no matter how beautiful they are.

    A hen went broody and she has been sitting for a while.......

    I agree with Sourland let the hen care for her eggs. She'll take care of the chicks after they hatch too. She'll do all the work for you.

    Are your chickens smarter than you?

    This morning two of my older birds hopped up on the porch stair railing. They looked around, fluffed their feathers and then they left. It looked like they were saying "we will return"!

    Are your chickens smarter than you?

    My free-range chickens kept coming up on the back porch and pecking at the door looking for treats. Their pecking sounded like someone knocking on the door. They would leave smelly piles while they impatiently waited. I decided to put an end to their shenanigans and take back my porch. I...

    How level does the ground need to be?

    My husband leveled the ground with our tractor-loader for my original coop, an insulated truck box. He says if the ground isn't level beneath the building there will be structural problems. Eventually the coops' doors and windows will not work properly. If the ground is already compacted you can...

    Which rooster to keep??

    Both roosters will be beautiful will be beautiful. The Ameracana rooster will be more docile, in either coop/run living quarters, or free-range. If he has large ear muffs they might impair his vision when it comes to predators. The Rhode Island Red will be very aggressive as he gets older no...

    Dairy goats!

    I believe Hoegger had a complete line of dairy goat supplies. We only bought generalized goat equipment from them. Then best thing I ever bought from them was a goat catch-hook. Until I fracture my shoulder, we ran a herd of 200+ Spanish/Savanna Meat Goats and the catch-hook was wonderful. 🐐

    Informal research poll on broodiness

    We have 27 hens, 2 roosters and 7 four day old chicks. They are all Speckled Sussex which is a British breed. I had wanted a chicken that was a good layer, gentle, active forager and friendly. I knew when I chose the breed that there was a possibility that the hens could be broody, that trait...

    Can chickens move into a coop that has mice?

    Keep the chicken feed in metal trash cans with tight lids. Don't leave feeders full you are only inviting rodents for dinner. As your chickens get older they will take care of the mice, they will either eat them or scare them away.

    Trespassing neighbor with dog chasing chickens

    Take a video or photos of everything she does on your property. Use them as evidence against her. She could possibly be charged with animal cruelty along with trespassing. You should also have "No Trespassing" signs up if you are going to try to charge her.
