Thanks. I have one in the building setting 5 eggs now so we'll see how that goes she's separated from the rest and doing good so far. I still have 2 left from the Easter hatch so we'll see if they hatch. I bought vitamin supplements to add to the water.
I'm never buying dumor feed again. I only...
Yeah I had two or three that were stealing them back and forth. Sometimes two of them would sit together or I'd find the clutch split between them lol. Unfortunately I thought that's what this hen was trying to do at first, but they started disappearing on me and fresh eggs too. I must have...
It was definitely a hen. I had several fresh eggs in the morning and 7 of my 8 left I didn't get a chance to grab them and when I went back out there were 4 left and one with a hole in it and some of the fresh were gone as well.
I caught her fighting with my broody the other day and stopped her...
One of my hens suddenly turned into an egg eater, and got 4 of my 8 marked eggs. None of them exhibited signs before I'm so upset right now. I was able to candle a couple eggs and at least one of them seems to have a dark spot inside so I'm still hopeful for the rest of them. I currently have...
I only tried one egg last night. Think I need new batteries. Going to pick some up today and try again tonight making sure to pick a lighter egg. I have all brown eggs so I know there's still a chance I won't see very well, but I think she has a couple lighter eggs under her. I don't want to...
Deals do help. Once I got the word out I can't keep eggs. I just sold two and a half dozen today but I could sell way more if I had them. At first I was worried I would get stuck with too many. Now, I am constantly waiting on eggs to fill orders lol. Planning on building my flock up a little so...
I was waiting until she got up to eat, but I had to do it as soon as she got up otherwise I have another hen that will go sit on them and I've even had my roo sit on them while she eats lol. I was moving her, but she got more and more upset so it was just easier to grab them while she was eating...
Oh, that is adorable. I definitely hope she stays consistent. That will be so amazing to watch her with her babies. I cannot wait!! She is very young, but so far so good. I'll definitely keep posting updates. I have another hen that will sit, but she's not as consistent. Right now the one that...
Thanks. She seems to be consistent. She's been trying to set for a while now. I've been pulling the eggs until Saturday, and she was very defensive. If I have to I can probably borrow an incubator, but I thought I would let her try first. She's been good so far so hopefully she'll keep it up and...
I set 8 buff Orpingtons on Saturday. I'm using a brooding hen, and this will be our first hatch ever. So far she seems to be doing well. I'm very excited to see how it turns out.
