Re: from brooder to flock
Thanks Jaye, Happy, and WWW. We ended up making an "executive decision". We moved all the adult chickens together and put the chicks in the separate half of the run. The ISA Browns are not happy and want back into their sort of "safe zone" from the other hens, but it'll have to do. This way, we can ...

from brooder to flock
We're going to try something different when adding my 5 week old chicks to the flock. First of all, we are going to put them in one half of the chicken run (enclosed) with 5 ISA Browns. They have kept themselves separate from the red & black sex-links. Since the ISA's are quite docile (not like my R...

Re: Does Anyone Understand Roosters?
The most attentive and patient roosters will woo a hen by finding her a good spot to lay eggs, and then impress her with his nest-building skills and chuckling love song. If she actually sits down in that spot, she is telling him that he's won her over. Some girls like the chest beating, dancing, b...

Does Anyone Understand Roosters?
Or I should ask, "Does anyone speak rooster?" Today, I found our rooster, Burt, in a nesting box. All the chickens had been let out of the enclosure, and he had gone back in. After shooing him out, he went into the other coop, into another nesting box. While in there, it looked like he was making a ...
