I'm in Florida it's 86 right now. My heart abandoned hey eggs the day before hatch date and the eggs are cold now. It's a day after said hatch date because I wanted to give them a chance. Because it's so warm here do you think they will still hatch?

I have a broody sitting on eggs, hatch date is the 23rd I candled the eight eggs she's sitting on and was positive of a quitter and a dud. The quitter had a deffinate ring. I was positive or so I thought... I decided to do an eggtopsy well because I was curious and cracked it open. And we'll...

I have a GC that I think is practicing. She's never growled before and she is now when the other hens come by. She will go in in the morning and stay but by after noon she out and about. Today I noticed she's kicking the other hens out of the nest or rather not letting them in when shes in there...

I sure hope so. We just bought two bsl chicks three weeks ago just for that purpose. My gold comets won't brood

Oh man I'm so glad to hear this. I'm doing this tomorrow. I using hold my roo this way but it's been a while. He thinking he is my boss. He came over today and pecked my foot either tried to mate or just attack. Not bad more like a warning but he's getting bold. Dancing around me and my daughter...

thanks for the info. I'll watch him. He's only doing it to me and he used to be mean till he got trapped trying to get at a mouse. Almost killed him. I had to hand feed and water him. Took the fight right out of him. Now I can turn him on his belly and he just lays there for me.

Shoot just found out my rooster thinks I'm one of his hens. Lol he'll mount his girls but I just realized today that for about a week he's been doing this thing. I thought he hurt his wing then I realized every time I bent down to clean out the coop he was dancing for me. Lmbo. He thinks I'm...

This is roo. Hes my pretty boy. He used to bite but has the fight taken right out of him even he got infrared ensnared in his coop fencing. We fixed that but now he's much nicer and didn't peck any more. I know hes just about of age but no crowing yet. The hens I have are the same age if not a...
