    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    Wow! That IS a cute picture. The only time my ladies eat that close together is when they're sharing a tray of cottage cheese or eating watermelon in the Summer time.

    How Long Should Bubbles Stay In Broody Jail?

    Thank you so much. This is my first experience with this, and I'm trying to stay on top of it, so to speak. I have another question, if you're familiar with Easter Eggers. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it's the breed of birds, but now it seems that all three of my Easter Eggers have...

    How Long Should Bubbles Stay In Broody Jail?

    A couple days ago, via the advice of a much more savvy chicken mom than I am, I placed Bubbles, my wayward brook chicken into Broody jail. She has food and water, of course. It's starting to get cold here in South Texas, and instead of snow, we usually get rain here. I've covered her cage with a...

    Older Hen with possible Meraks. Is there a chance of recovery?

    This may sound a little crazy to you, but have you prayed? I've found that it can work in the strangest cases. Just a thought. I'm so sorry. I know your birds are like your babies. So are mine.

    Locked Up In Broody Prison, And Time Keeps Draggin' On

    Well first of all, "You HAVE to be smarter than the chicken!" My husband informed me. Wow. Did those words sting....uh pretty much because they were true! I was taking the advise of a much more experienced chicken mommy on here, about my brooding chicken, Bubbles. I fixed the cage first, or so...

    IS SHE SICK, OR JUST ROOSTING?

    The one doing the brooding is an Easteregger. She lays Army green eggs. The kind on those "Green eggs and ham" advertisements? Ha, ha. Seriously, her sister, Peanut, is not brooding, and an old EE I have by the name of Joy is doing just fine. She's the only one.

    IS SHE SICK, OR JUST ROOSTING?

    Thank you for letting me know these things. This is my first experience with this. And I thought it was unusual because she is one of my youngest. My older birds have not done this yet. She's the only one so far, and she's not even a year old. I believe she's about 8 months old. I'd like to...

    IS SHE SICK, OR JUST ROOSTING?

    One of my youngest girls is sitting in her nest ALL DAY EVERY DAY THIS WEEK! I thought that maybe she was dying. I left water and food for her, and she's eating it. One day my crazy dog, who has to wear a muzzle outside because she loves to chase them, chased her out of her nest area, in the...

    Rooster walks his hens to the nesting box each day, then takes over the nesting box instead of letting them lay their egg?

    Someone stole my wooden eggs and I replaced them with plastic eggs. The hens don't seem to care.

    Do hens stop laying eggs when roosters are around?

    That makes a lot of sense, from what I've seen. He's like a teenager at an all girl high school! Yep. That just might be what's going on, and he is doing a lot of chasing. That's why I've placed him on top of the coop at night as the girls' guard chicken, to let him feel his newly earned...

    Do hens stop laying eggs when roosters are around?

    The heat here is terrible. I do my best to keep them cool, other than inviting them into the house, that is! Don't know it they're molting. The older ones are a little over a year old, and one is recently laying eggs. Two EEs are about to lay eggs in September. Ruby, my silver laced Wyandotte...

    Do hens stop laying eggs when roosters are around?

    As soon as Cindy showed herself to be a CAESAR, it seemed that my hens stopped laying eggs! I want to know from anyone who may shed some chicken feed on this subject, what's up with my girls??? Pictured below is my proud Caesar, making his stand for my girly flock! The girls now sleep in the...
