Tomorrow I'm picking up 6 fertilized eggs for my brooder. Now I know these are going to be very stupid questions for all you experts. So here we go.... What do I feed my brooder while she is on the eggs? Will she leave them to go and get food or will I have to feed her in the nesting box? What...

Thank-you for your advice. I dust the girls to make sure they have no mites. But when I checked the broody one, she's lost a lot of feathers on her underside. I put her outside with the others and gave them all some grapes. I left her in with the others and she was fine. I'm going to check in 5...

I have 6 egg laying hens, I had to wait until the comb on the top of their heads went red, it took a while. I feed them their normal chicken feed but once a day they get chopped up veg, a good mix and also mealworms. Grapes as a treat. I've had between 5 and 6 eggs a day. I wash and keep them in...
