Candled the bantam egg our broody is on, was able to see a moving foot!!!!

Checked last nite, the australorp mix egg is viable! And the EE egg had spider veins, yayayayayay so so so so awesome! Get to check the bantam egg tonite, I am pretty sure it will be viable as well!

Checked our first egg that our broody is laying on, its viable! A silkie/ee mix! So excited.. We also have an australorp/RIR/silkie mix, the hen is the aussi/rir and roo is an orange silkie, and also a bantam/silkie, find out tomorrow if those two are viable.. Chickens are awesome!

Your local feed store will have all your chicken needs. I use sulmet liquid and haven't had any issues. But I have read that sulmet can be rougher on the birds system. So there is also corid liquid. Here's a good link https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/coccidiosis-how-to-treat-it

Also, the best way for them to get used to you is time. Spend alot of time with them, and hold off on trying to pick them up or pet them for awhile. I won my girls over with watermelon and birdseed. They all eat from my hand now, even my wily bantams! Good luck with your girls. I'd wait at least...

Sounds like the stress caused her to have a bad outbreak of cocci. Blood in the poo means severe cocci. I would treat your other girls asap. So sorry for your loss :/

Well I think I may have misunderstood what I read. And as it turns out she didn't lay an egg, one of the other girls decided to lay in her nesting box, and blueberry (the bantam) said ok ill hatch it for you!

From the chicken-chick.com "Left to her own devices, a broody will lay a clutch of eggs, then stop egg-laying and sit on them for 21 days (more or less) until they hatch." She's in that beginning stage I believe, although she has been broody for a week.. She hadn't laid any, and was brooding in...

Our bantam went broody shortly after one of our roosters(her hubby) was taken by a fox. We let her sit, but after week she hadn't laid, so we put a fertile EE/silkie egg under her yesterday, and today she laid her first egg since being broody! We are hoping it is fertilized by her hubby! This is...

on the right is my Sussex, biscuit my lil EE

Here's my Gaja girl, see that green :)

Looks like an Easter egger to me, I believe true americaunas have green legs, this ones kinda look yellow like my EEs. Speckled Sussex have little white spots over an almost tan brown color. Adorable either way!

It's almost pretty in there!

Sparrow and Buttercup.. They grow so fast!

My new girls Jane and Mary.. They are so sweet and so tiny!
