my rooster is still shying from the lowest hen on the totem.

Maybe put him and her and maybe one other in a pen by themselves, if you can.
I assume this is your senior roo you're crying about, not a junior. I remember you saying he's young?

Hey guys so i know this thread has died...But the Dr. is in lets get this thread back on the move

To start we havent gotten more babies sadly. We got three and today well two are a week old one hatched on day 26. My favorite is the little silkie baby i am almost positive they.re all girls, but our broody still sits on those five eggs.

. I cant wait until spring. Sunny started laying, but Goldie needs to do his part

My bator is coming in two weeks so excited. Our other broody doing fine not sure if her eggs are viable about a week idk not keeping track. Hoping we will get some chicks from her. Also we are getting a lot of eggs. For my bator it is a LG still air with automatic turner, when it comes im going to do a test hatch with 5-10 eggs from the coop. Not getting fancy breeder eggs that being a first timer i might kill.

Sounds good, Luv!!!

My currently breeding project includes a 'bator from a friend and a setting schedule of about 6-10 eggs about every three and a half to four weeks. =)
I'm looking forward to spring too; my hope is that at least a few of my hens will start helping me with the hatching!!! =D
