Our hens have been sitting on eggs for about 19 or 20 days. I peeked this morning and there were no pips so far. I know there were a few times that an egg got pushed out because we gave the eggs to 1 hen and then Three other silky hens decided that they wanted to help mother too so now there are...
They are beautiful! I suspect her being a speckled Sussex but I wasn’t sure because she’s not quite as “speckled” as most I see. Is that something that will come once she gets all her adult feathers?
I was thinking so! She’s so pretty. Looks nothing like my other hens, I’ve been reading about all the other breeds but know nothing about speckled Sussex chickens.
We got a solar light for our coop, but upon reading it looks like there’s different light modes. I know they need full darkness the majority of the night to sleep so which mode do y’all think would be best to leave the light on?
