Can anyone tell me the current laws/enforcement in Grand Rapids, Michigan? My family is considering moving there and I'd like to take my flock but I'm not sure if there's a chicken limit or if you can have roosters, etc, etc. Where I live now we can't have roosters, but it's also not enforced...

Oh yeah they will not get this privilege again! I thought it'd be so cute to see them raise them together, but I guess I was wrong, haha.

I've hatched with broodies plenty and they've never acted quite this mean and attacking. I have another broody raising 11 right now and I let them out every once and a while, and they eat feed out of my hand, and the mama is protective but still accepting of me near. These two are on a totally...

Or is it already too late??

Two sisters I call "the crows" little black banty old English game hens, went broody together and I thought it would be pretty cute for them to raise chicks together. They hatch 11 beautiful chicks over the course of a few days, and leave the nest, so I put the rest of the eggs in the incubator...

I believe it's a lump on the tail, it's off center, between dime and nickel sized. I'll try and take a better pic when my partner gets home. It's a two person job since she's broody and pecky right now!

Hah! I'm trying to avoid that relaxing bath but we'll see how everything else that NatJ suggested works out. Good idea on the camera! Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. She grabbed the other olive egger chick before I got up to separate her today. Looks like she'll be sleeping outside in the dog crate for a while until I have enough time to make a broody village coop. I tried to relocate a nest of another bird and she was not having it...

I have yet to make a separate broody box because I've been working on some emergency home repairs that took precedence. I sectioned off an area inside the coop but here in south Louisiana the moms don't want to be there too long and wanted to leave their babies too early, at least that's what...

I have a mixed flock of 26 bantams and standards with 8 roosters(2 Olive Eggers, 6 var. Bantams). They will be 12 weeks on Wednesday. They all grew up together since day one, and have a good amount of run space. I spent a lot of time with the birds when young, so they are all very friendly. One...
