    Broody Mama X 2

    I have a broody who's eggs should hatch in the next day or two. I went out today and another hen joined her? Broody 1 doesn't seem upset, went out after dark and they are both still on the nest. Is this problematic, or will they just both care for the chicks? I had another broody two months ago...

    Order from Hoovers

    Seeking opinions/input- I'm thinking of ordering 7 Prairie Bluebell Eggers, 7 French Wheaten Maran's & 7 Starlight Green Eggers from Hoovers. Can I hear from people who have used them before? To vaccinate or not (Mareks & Cocci)? I'm shipping to California.

    Integrating With the Big Girls

    Back in July I bought 24 chicks, they are 11 weeks old now. Lost three, but the rest are doing well. Due to CV-19, I have spent a good deal of the time working from home. They are in the pen at night, but I let them free range during the day. Which meant they spent a lot of time on my back...

    Chick With An Injured Leg

    My little Olive Egger has a hurt leg. I have no idea what she did, no visible injury. Hopefully the video I attached works. This is day three, not getting any better. She collapses at the hock joint, but I'm not sure if the injury is above that? Should I splint? Looking for advice, thank you.
