Another Chicken Housing Option

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have enough chickens that we didn't even notice the eggs missing the last few weeks.  A few days ago we found one of our bantam hens sitting on these.  Based on the numbers, some must be a few weeks old.  She tries, but can't get them all tucked in under her.  Our bantam hen probably hatches 5-10 chicks for us each year.  And with our varied mix of hen and rooster breeds, it is anyone's guess what type they might be.  The poor barbie jeep was a hand me down from a friend and needs a spring cleaning, but mama hen doesn't seem to mind!

	That is too cute! I would love some bantam hens and a rooster - they are so neat and tiny! I think I am missing some back in the woods somewhere - I heard one doing her egg call and tried to search a bit, but there was too much poison ivy and thorns to get a good look. Ours have taken up with our cat's box. DH brought home and insulated shipping/storage box and cut a hole in it for our cat this winter.... they have pretty much kicked her out. I don't think I have seen her in it since they started laying in it (she's a total wuss and does NOT defend her territory at all. I have seen then chickens run her off multiple times - it seems all they have to do is look at her wrong and she takes off!).
