    You Can Sex a Chicken Egg?

    HahahahAa, I saw Some videos about this on YouTube and tried it last year. I gave my hen 5 eggs round as I could find. 3 hatched. Alas all 3 were roosters. Dare I experiment again?

    missing chicks.

    Last night I had 13. this morning only 7 came out with mom. No sign of a struggle. We have seen mice in there but I put up a ridex rodent repeler and haven't seen a mouse since. John says he's seen what he thinks is a rat. Will rats eat chicks? Very sad day.

    Fooling a mom

    Thank you. I was just thinking about putting her and her chicks in a box with the others. I'm glad you mentioned to wait til her's have finished hatching. I wasn't thinking of that. But I do remember that last year as soon as some hatched she was out of there. Excellent. I take it that I...

    Fooling a mom

    I have a hen that is brooding eggs that will be hatching in a couple of days. I also am expecting a few in the mail at the same time. Do you think I can sneak them in with the mom. Has anyone done this. Thanx Judy
