Could be pullet becouse leghorns have enourmous combs.

Lost 6 of my laying hens due to dog attack.The just started to lay rapidly again ,and one night i forgot the coop open,and they were gone. :( Luckily my 2 broodies were not in that coop so they survived.

Chicks finally hatched yesterday,and as last year,again beautiful hatch,9/9.

Chicks from on of my 2 broodies started to hatch,so far i have 5/9 of which 2 are absolutely wet,and 3 are almost completely dry.I hope that i will get at least 7/9

99 percent sure that it's a roo

I have 2 broodies ATM,one sitting on 9 eggs and the other on 13 eggs.The one sitting on 9 eggs should hatch the chicks on Tuesday/Wednesday.The fun thing with that broody is that she is the smallest of my last year's hatch,an smallest in my flock,but man she is an ANGRY broody,she is trying to...

But she may outgrow all of them!Of my 12 chicks i had a runt and he was the only black chick so i wanted to keep him.Today they are 4 weeks old and he is one of the biggest i not the biggest of the hatch.Do not despair and have hope in mother nature.

Thank you for the gigantic reply,i appreciate that.Yes,i do have 12 1 month olds.I might be boring but one more question.Is it normal for month old chicks not to be that big(the hens and the roo aren't that big either) and not to be fully featherd yet?

Okay.I have 12 1 month and 4 day old chicks,and today i separate the broody hen.Already some of them didn't sleep beneath her,as they were too big.So my question is will they do fine? Also,when i moved the broody back with the other my rooster(which is a bit dumb) started to fight with her as...

No,not air bubble.On touch its hard,and its yellow.As i said,he is the most active chick i ever had.

It's a bit funny,i know. My 4 days old chick is a bit of a weirdo.He is the runt of the hatch,being the smallest of em all,but he runs and eats for 5 bigger than him or her :D,but when his crop is full you can see a bit of it under the skin just above his WING.I though its some kind of...

I absolutely love my broody.She hatched 12/12!!!

I have,i have chicks!!! I was counting fast,but i saw 5-6 almost completly dry,and another 2 o3 still hatching

Why dont you bathe her?

One more stupid question.How long after the hatching chicks are dry?

I heard from some folks(which are longer than me into chickens) that first food newly hatched chicks will eat should be boiled mashed egg.Is it true? my chicks should start hatching Saturday and Sunday!Cant wait

Today is day 7 since my broody hen is laying on the eggs,and she is doing a great job.I separated her from the other girls,so the dont mind her.I dont planing to candling because she is a little flighty and wild,so i dont want to scare her. And yes,the unlaid egg i was asking about, she laided...

Any folks from the Balkans?(Ima nekoj od Balkanot/El ima neko od Balkanu?)

By that ''in the canal'' i meant tho say that she wanted to lay an egg,but i don't know weather she laid it or not :) Yesterday,I was hearing her making that distinctive "cluck,cluck,cluck" sound,but she didn't lay in the nest box.Today,i saw her laying on just 2 eggs and immediately gave her 9...

So i don't have to worry.That's a relief.Did your girl kept laying till the end of the incubation?
