I'm down 4 eggs.. I'm thinking she ate them, maybe she thought or knew they were bad? But two of them she ate had cracks so it's good that she didn't get the good eggs. Candled the two remaining eggs closer to dark than I did yesterday and I could see much more detail, they're doing good and are...

Thanks peeps! I should be around day 7 or 8 and today I found one egg had been pushed out of the box, candled all of them and they all looked the same. Looks like about half of the insides is black almost like they're further along.. I put the one egg back with the others, if I find it out again...

Nice thread. I'll be having some Black Australorp roo and Barred Rock hen crossed chicks soon from a broody hen. I first found the info in the first post on some prepper website. It's and exact copy of the info, idk if the original poster knows that their work has been stolen or not, but if they...

Thanks for the info! I always read that a BR roo with a BA hen would make the sex links. The hen is setting good though and I finally saw her eat today, every time I take her off of the eggs to check for extra eggs from the other hens she goes and drinks for about ten minutes then ignores the...

Bringing up one of my threads that's a year old, namely because I'm about to find out what BA roo x BR hen makes. One of my BR hens went broody about 6 days ago and she's sitting on 6 eggs. Due to my hen breed ratio in my pen, 4 should by BA x BR and two should be full BA. I shooed the hen off...

Fair enough. I'm on a different forum with a different theme than chickens and there the replies are fast and plentiful and we don't have nearly as many members as this site does. I guess I'm just used to the quick responses and assumed that when I went a couple days and posts without a comment...

Alrighty then, looks like I'm being ignored here now. Y'all have fun helping the people that you feel like helping, I'll make sure that I don't post here again.

If my hen is sitting on eggs that are one day apart that means they'll hatch on different days right? If they do will she stay on the eggs until they all hatch or just abandon the nest?

Well.... I checked her yesterday morning and she's sitting on eggs again. She has six and I figure she'll do fine with that many. I marked them and my calendar and left her alone for the day. It's funny watching the other chickens look in the box at her, they look shocked and as if they don't...

Hey guys and gals, haven't been on here in months. Anyways, I noticed one of my Barred Rock hens acting funny the other day. Yesterday evening she was all fluffed up sitting on the roost when I went to feed and when I went to get the eggs out of the box she hopped down and chased the other hens...

Well, I'm still getting the same pint sized egg from my hen. Maybe she just hatched without ova and that's why she hasn't made one egg with a yolk? Maybe she has a birth defect or just has some other defect. Oh well, a happy and healthy hen, she is.

Yeah that's what mine had but then the last few times I'd been in there (spread out over a few months) they didn't have any at all and then bam had about 20+ foam ones the other day. I assumed they were $.50 because they were at the $.50 egg carton tag on the shelf but then the receipt said...

I got some foam ones from tsc the other day for $.29 the other day. The paper ones from tsc are $.50

Maybe try reducing the amount of chips you put in, don't put in as much so the level of the chips will be lower.

This one is the size of what I've seen people call fart eggs. It has no yolk. My white leghorns, same age, have been laying around a month and for a couple days i got some massive eggs compared to any I'd had before. But right now both age groups are laying about the same size. The older ones...

Hello, I have a brown leghorn hen that's just started to lay, about 6 months old. I've gotten four mini eggs from her, is this okay? Will she start laying average eggs sometime? The brown one is from one of my older hens, about 11 months, and she only did that once and is back to normal.

No problem.

You'll probably want to have a normal lamp or something near them so that they can see to eat and drink, I'm not sure that the heat lamp would make enough light to keep them awake much. As for natural light, my chicks were raised in the garage. Some mornings i would get up and open the door and...

Well that sucks. Good luck next time!

I've had two killed by a raccoon, in my case there was little blood as in only found a few spots and the whole chicken was gone with only a few feathers left. I guess the eat every bit of it. One was pulled through 2 inch chain link fence and the other case a raccoon tore chicken wire and made...
