About three weeks ago at least one of my peahens stopped laying and I set the eggs only to find out that they were all infertile. Three days ago I started...
If you take the eggs, the hen will lay more. There is no set pattern to a broody pea. They go broody when they feel like it. Some never do. If you want to use...
Val, do you let the chicken lay all her eggs and then take them and put the peas under? Just exactly how do you do it? I have a little silkie setting now, on...
Lou, good questions and I hope someone answers. I had a chicken tractor, which I had never heard of, given to me. I guess it is to use when you are going to...

There was another egg yesterday, too, so I put that one under her, too. She is the only hen in there, Iona, just the rooster is in with her. Chris ~Don't mess...
One book said they live 40 years. I have a couple of old males that are in their twenties and are still going strong. Moving him won't shorten his life. I...
Just wondering about my peacock. I removed all the chickens from their pen, even the roos for good measure! Now, even though he is young, probably a three...
