    Going broody twice in one season?

    anyone else ever have a hen go broody twice in one season? I have an Easter Egger, who went broody for about a month, then churned out like 3 dozen eggs, then is acting broody again. I gently take her out of the nesting box and place her outside to run around with the other hens, but she winds...

    Blue Wheaton Aumericana- boy or girl??

    my hens are about 28 weeks old. All are laying except for my lone Easter egger, who is also at the bottom of the pecking order. She (he?) is vocal but doesn’t crow, and certainly doesn’t crow first thing in the morning. I did have a roo so I know what they should sound like. So based on these...

    Two pullets excluded from the flock. Advice needed

    Hi, I have a total of 8 hens. 6 were all purchased and raised at the same time, and two Easter eggers were introduced a couple of weeks later.

    How to determine age of chicks?

    My six chicks are growing fast and the brooder is starting to get crowded. I am considering moving them to their permanent home in a week or two, but I cannot really tell if they will be five or six weeks old by then. They seem to be mostly feathered out, but still tend to sleep under the lamp...

I understand formulations for making pressure treated lumber is safer since 2010 or so, but I just wanted...
