Update: she made it 24 hours... She has not eaten much, and I do not see any solid poop. But she looks better today. Time will tell...

I once had a rooster that caused this... He just mounted the hens over and over and it wore their feathers off. Poor girls!

I am looking for hatching eggs in the Binghamton, NY area. I would like to hatch about 12-15 in my science classroom. I have a brooder at home and coop with plenty of room to bring the birds home to.

I did leave her water, grit, and food in her crate. She has spent most of her time just sleeping though, with occasional movement around the crate.

I have not observed her eating or drinking yet, but I brought her in at twilight so normally she would not be eating again until morning. No poop yet.

I even witnessed the laying! 7/16/14!

What are 4-h and FFA? Not sure what breed of chicken we have yet- they were just sexed pullets of mixed breeds. Their feathers came in bright white, hopefully I can get pictures up soon and someone can help!

Hi there! I am new to raising chicks, I was brought up in small cities (my parents were raised the same way) and had to do A LOT of research to get started! Our family now lives in a fairly rural area and I am trying to teach my 3 children how to be somewhat self-sufficient and appreciate the...
