    do eggs hatch late with brood hen?

    Mine just hatched. Started day 20 ended day 21. On Easter. Have you candled your eggs to see if they are in there? I candled mine throughout to check for development. My momma hen didn't mind.

    Water cups

    How old are your chickens. my adult hens and rooster have no problem with them. I had the same concerns as you so I stayed out there and watched them drink out of it when there wasn't much water in the cup and they came up and threw some water around when they shook their heads.

    BCM roo X lavender ameraucana

    All the lavender birds have clean legs which I figured was another indication that they came from the lavender roo. This is pretty good news considering we lost 2 of our birds to an unfortunate dog incident a few days after they hatched and was left with only one hen.

    Timid frightened chicks

    I have noticed that when my chicks are born to about a week or two old or so they are still a little scared of me. I have a bunch that are about 6-7 weeks old that are out in the run and I have to be really careful that I don't step on and crush any of them because they are just crowding around...

    Bantam ID please

    None of the birds have feathered legs. I have read since posting this that Japanese bantams have 5 toes some of them at least so I am just thinking I got a bunch of mutts lol.

    Bantam ID please

    Ok so I bought 36 bantam eggs from a trade days and I thought I was getting all Japanese white black tailed bantams. Those were the only birds he had for sell and that is what he told me when I bought them. About half of them were fertile but for 8 dollars per 18 hatching eggs I wasn't too...
