She's a beautiful healthy bird went to check last night and she's definitely broody she stayed on the nest all night and when I went to check for eggs from the other hens she got all huffy puffy on me so i decided to let her sit on some eggs
I have a white cochin who's been laying for short while, lately shes been sitting on the nest for very long periods of time only during the day, at night shes roosting with the other chickens. Is she going broody? I collect the eggs and only leave one in the box and shes sitting on the one egg.
Did you have to assist because of problems with the aircell I ask because I have 4 geese eggs in the incubator that were shipped the aircells were detached upon arrival after letting them sit the aircells reattached but now they aircells are saddled and have a small amount of liquid that I can...
Here's a photo of the chicks. I have them on my front porch in a kiddie pool. I put chicken wire around it to keep them from getting out and its actually a pretty nice set up, I have a heat lamp to keep them warm. Once they're fully feathered or maybe on a sunny warm day I'll take the circular...

They could be full bred or cross bred.The person who sold the eggs to me has white and colored sebastopols, white and brown chinese, buff african, american buff and blue buff, and none of the parents were seperated so I will not know what I got until they hatch and probably grow feathers lol.
Americus Ga, here I took a break from chickens and have decided to jump head first back into it I stopped because my 6 chickens 4 ducks and 3 geese were killed by a fox years ago sold all the chicks I hatched out and decided I wouldn't get anymore. Well I decided to try incubating some geese...
