Hello
My hen started being broody for a few days now, so I’ve given her an egg yesterday for her to keep.
Today, she didn’t get out of her nest all day. So I had to force her out for some time (she’s trying to come back every time), push her beak in the water for her to drink, and literally...
Tomorrow, from 8 to 12AM (for 4 hours), it is announced that we won’t have any electricity in our village.
I have an incubator with 3 Egyptian geese eggs, which will hatch in like 2-3 days! So I’ll have to go tomorrow to our office, which will have electricity there to make my incubator work...
My chicken a few months after I bought her (in 2023)
Now (the chickens stopped pulling her head crest for the past few weeks now, she’s recovering, and yes this is her nest.)
Hope you can guess her average age like this ?
I don’t know how old is she, but I bought her at a store in 2023

7 on 7 eggs hatched, 3 white/orange and 4 black/orange with an amazing touch of white
A chicken goes broody, you put her on the nest, she stays for hours and even sleeps there but when she finally gets out, she never goes back in unless I put her, is that still ok and considered as a good broody? Will the eggs that got colder (not freezing, but loosing their warmth) survive? It’s...
Hello
I don’t know for how much time has that been going on for, but at least a month, that Coco, my Polish chicken, hides somewhere far from the flock.
She’s running away from me more often (she used to be very close to me). When I finally found her, I saw her sitting on over 20 eggs of hers...
I’m using wood chips, and yes grains and grass are the only things I’m feeding them unless they find something else when they go outside (I started letting them go outside but only when I’m watching just in case something happens).
What’s commercial chick feed..? The grains I have are chopped...
