Thank you very much! I somehow didn’t get a notification of your response so I apologize for the delay. Thank you! I am dealing with a new issue this morning with her now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi, I am desperately looking for some help. 2 days ago my neighbours entire flock was taken out by a fisher except for one chicken. She appeared uninjured. I took her in as they didn’t not want to keep her. I put her in a rubbermaid bin, in a large dog kennel in my basement and gave her...

Here are photos to show how « feathered » they are.

She is a red sex link that went broody and I couldn’t break her. Gave her 12 eggs and 8 hatched and are thriving. I had no intentions of letting her hatch but was the easiest solution to break her broodiness. I’m new to chickens and was under the impression that RSL’s rarely go broody so fingers...

Thank you!!

My broody hen hatch 8 babies about 4 weeks ago. Today she repeatedlt kept savagely attacking one of her chicks. They have all be in a run attached to my other ladies run. I removed mama and put her in with the other adults and it was like she never left. My question is however, tonight the...

Yes that count is correct. The first guy you circled had the biggest little comb since a few days old lol. Thank you very much for your input! I will wait a few more weeks and will post updated (and better) photos. The no pick seems to have helped. The brown boss is still being a bully but not...

Hello! I decided to let my broody RSL hatch some chicks. I purchased fertilized eggs from a local farmer and 3 weeks later had 8 beautiful and colourful chicks. Fast forward 2 weeks and 2 days post hatch…. They are fighting! Like draw blood on the comb fighting. My biggest bully (who I for some...

My broody hen is the top of the pecking order and she is mighty hateful the last 2 days. Nobody has gone near her and she doesn’t even have eggs under her yet so I thought she may be ok. I also understand that with bylaws, I shouldn’t be adding more chickens but they will promptly be rehomed...

Thank you very much for your fast reply! This chicken business is stressful 😂

Hello, I am new to chickens and only have 4 as per municipal rules. I don’t have a rooster but just realized one of my hens is broody. Moving her, giving her treats and removing nesting boxes were unsuccessful. I decided to purchase fertilized eggs to give her and give the babies to my sister...

Thank you but I don’t have a rooster and live in town so I am already at my 4 chicken max. Fingers crossed I can break her broodiness. Thank you for your help.

After palpating, there is no lump, just bone. I removed her from the nest, no waddling/panting or penguing walk but she keeps running to the nesting box so I think she is a just a rare broody red sex link. I will try to keep removed her from the nest and giving her treats. She is still quite...

No waddling this morning or yesterday and no panting but she hasn’t left her nesting box since noon. I left her alone for a while to see if she would lay and when I picked her up at 7, she was very hateful (which is not like her at all) and there was still no egg. I fed her earth worms while she...

Hi, I am very new to chickens and got my red sex link pullets in May when they were 18 weeks old. They are now are now about 6 months old and have all been doing great until yesterday. Yesterday, only 2 laid and egg and I found one other egg under the roosting bar (which has never happened...
