    Babies are here!

    Thanks so much! I've been running around the house, jumping up and down like crazy for the past few hours. It's just all so exciting. My very first hatch and I didn't even know if any were going to hatch at all, now 1 at least has hatched. I can't wait for the other ones.

    Remove empty egg shell?

    My broody just hatched 1/3 eggs and the chick keeps falling over the shell. Should I remove it or just let it be? P.S.

    We're so close in hatch date! Oct. 7th or 8th here! First experience with a broody. My little silkie is just ready to be a momma. She's got 2 of my RIR's eggs and 1 of her own under her. I'm just sooooo excited!

    My little silkie just went broody yesterday!

    Thanks so much:) How about handling the eggs? How long can they be out from under her? Ummm... Food wise, just the layer feed? She's in a dog crate by herself.

    My little silkie just went broody yesterday!

    we have one of her eggs and two RIR's eggs under her. Any quick info on what to and what not to do? I'm a complete newbie on chickens, i've only had these for about 6 and a half months.

    I am getting rid of my EE, and the other roo is a little silkie who is a complete sweetie, and then we might get maybe 1 or 2 more hens. So the total would be 1 roo to about 3 or 4 hens.. we really want chicks later on, and are attached to fuego, the silkie.

    Little girl being picked on

    I've got two roos and two hens, terrible, i know. For the past few months everything has been fine, but about a week ago i noticed that the dominant roo has been picking on the runt hen.
