Got a rooster thrown in extra with my order of cornish crosses. He is great. Very friendly. His name is Little Britches.

I just got one from my neighbor who was done raising chickens she is my new fav

Great info I felt the legs on my four chicks today and all had little bumps. They are about a month old now. I dont need 4 more roos

There were a few eggs that someone had laid in her box that were around 10 days newer while she was outside and I forgot to mark them so I through them out then momma went crazy so I put two more back in

I was hoping she wouldnt sit on them for another three weeks i wasnt planning on having more chicks until spring. So ill take the eggs out tomorrow I just wasnt sure if shed spend time looking for the eggs she was on that I took out and forget about the chicks

She went crazy when I pulled out the expired chicks. She was scrathing around looking for them so i put a few eggs under her so she wouldnt abandon the chicks. She seems to be ok now. I dont know if she will stay on those eggs or not until they hatch. Any input is appreciated. My first time...

Mom hatched them in nest box not sure if it was to tight for her and babies a squished them. Going to add on to my coop for next batch. Give her an area all to her self with plenty of space.

Don't know if mom squished them or what happened one was still wet

Have 4 newbies unfortunately 2 didn't make it had to put them in the graveyard

Thanks for the input I figured that Mcmurray was good but the info was helpful most likely have some more babies in the spring

Hopefully have my first peek at homegrown chicks tomorrow

I want to get more chicks next year was just wondering how murray mcmurray hatchery was and how people like there service

From new hampshire just checking around if anyone has any chickens they want to get rid of or sell just looking to mix my flock age and sex not a preference

Cant wait to get home to check and see how many babies there are pretty sure atleast 2 that I know of didnt want to bother momma to look under her

Just heard my first chick from under broody this afternoon cant wait to see whats waiting tomorrow
