I'm so excited!!! :weee
Big Ma (one of my brown leghorns has been hiding eggs from me!! I found out today!
I inmediatly candled them very carefully, and it looks like they are about in their 14-16th day, most of them though!! so I'm expecting them to hatch on the 6th-10th (July):bow
I really do hope they are all fertilized, because I've been changing the rooster into a separate pen due to one of my chickens being mean to all the other chickens. Hazel(my grey bantam/leghorn mix) got hurt in her head and she was bleeding poor thing, she's better now though!
BTW what do y'all guys I should do with Blackie?(the mean chicken)
hatch-a-long with me Guys!!:jumpy
(I guess blackie is being mean because I have them in separated coops) I have Hazel and Big ma in a coop, and My rooster and Blackie in another one. How hazel got hurt was when I let them to roam out of their pens and blackie started attacking them both (Hazel and Big ma) every time she sees them she tries to hurt them! what should I do?!?!

Congrats on the eggs! I look forward to pictures of the chicks.

Sometimes, when birds go broody, it changes flock dynamics. This might be a cause for aggression. It probably is because they were put together that they started fighting, especially if they couldn't see one another before the introduction.
Some chickens just don't get along, but you could try to keep them near one another, with wire between them, before an intro.

Best of luck! Sorry it took so long to respond.
 
I actually I'm going to try that, but if it doesn't work, I guess I'll have to give her away, (hope not) I love all my animals so much
