To me they look like they are saying "Oh yeah, we got this!"

got out of line. sorry.. won't play let the experts handle it

wrong way

The ACE on 22nd street usually has pretty true to breed chicks and they give you a 90% pullet promise. I have found them to be very healthy chicks and less stress for shipping is a bonus.. there is a guy that works there and he knows a lot about the breeds and can estimate arrival dates for...

Will someone let me in? Jeeshh

agreed :) love those birdees

that looks like a silkie hen to me.. like my little ginger.. no expert but should be laying soon.. I found my boys crow early and my ladies lay around 5 -6 months

Tucson. If you are patient they sell them at the ace hardwares. They are pretty knowledgeable about the breeds and have electrolytes and supplies for them. I have had really good luck with them and almost always they are pullets.

some day my prince will come..... but seriously - that is a BEAUTIFUL picture..

thank you so much for the reply.. I think I need a lot more experience till we have chicks of our own.. I will keep collecting daily. I really appreciate your advice.. I do love those birds :)

forgive the question; so broody hens.. I broke my first one with the help of advice from BYC experts- thank you so much.. how soon will she go back to laying? (orpington about 8 months old) the other question is.. if a hen goes broody she stops laying correct? But then how do you have a...

lotta pressure for the young roo... good luck.. I have a silkie rooster that this happened to and we had to separate him.. size matters I have learned..

did it - broody hen broken for now.. dog kennel with roost and food/water accessible. thanks for the advice

this is why I love chicken people. They are beautiful animals with an eagerness to see me (or at least eat every snack that I bring with me) .. I am grateful for every day that they have.. I have lost some too.. but when you put it that way it is very encouraging.. we improve their quality...

thank you for your assistance. I will set up the cage and work with her.. shes already coming out of the nesting box more.. but still doing a little puff up and scorned look when I come near. I guess if we ever do decide to have some chicks I know who to recruit

yes. I would like to know how to set up a broody breaker cage. I took the ping pong balls out and moved her over a bit.. but did not pull her out of the nesting box. I checked in early this morning (before light) and she was back in the same spot sitting on nothing. I really appreciate the help

Thank you for asking :) currently we don't have a rooster.. and no real plans for a hatching.. so I guess I just want to know that she won't just sit there and dehydrate or starve.. she's been there about a week.. and I guess she only sneaks out when my back is turned. My main concern was...

broody sitting on just ping pong balls... should I move her or leave her? and should I feed her or will she eat when she is ready?
