Hi there...
We have a hen that just went broody and she's in a chicken tractor coop that we move around the yard every couple of days.
It's time to move it again, but will it cause her stress if we move it while she's in there sitting on her eggs? We'll do it gently and slowly. I think...
Hi there...
We have a Nankin bantam hen that just went broody. She's in a nesting box in a movable chicken tractor coop with wheels and we move the tractor every couple of days.
It's time to move it again, but will it disrupt her "broodiness" if we move it while she's sitting on her nest...
He is so gentle and sweet. He takes good care of his hen. Unfortunately, one of our dogs got one of his hens. I was so thankful he didn't get the other one. This rooster actually feeds his hen. It's the cutest thing. And I think he is so beautiful.
We didn't know what we were doing... have done just about everything wrong. I have several eggs set to hatch a day apart, and then we waited and put two batches in on different days, about 5 or 6 in each batch. Soooooo... have about 20 eggs or so, all set to hatch at different times.
What do...
We're new to chicken ownership and having lots of fun with it. This is a great site full of lots of valuable information. My daughter joined a couple of days ago (hi chicken_chick33!!!!) and I'm following in her chicksteps.
We have Barred Rocks and accidentally ended up with a Nankin...
