    Silkie X Leghorn Crosses

    Hello! I know this thread is very old but I also have a broody hen sitting on 4 White leghorn and Black silkie mixes. They are due to hatch in about a week and I was wondering if you had any adult pictures of those chickens. If you did that would be great! Thanks!!

    Hatching Chicks in January... What to do?

    Thanks for the story, it really helped us. We decided to move her into the garage. She has a nest, some space to walk, and food and water. It is about 15-20 degrees warmer in the garage so hopefully they will hatch!

    Hatching Chicks in January... What to do?

    Ok so we candled today and here are the results: so we found 3 eggs that looked about 6 days old and 1 that looked about 5 days old. The last one didn't have anything in it. We are now going to have to decide what to do from here. Will keep you posted!

    Hatching Chicks in January... What to do?

    Hello! Yesterday morning we came across five eggs under our broody silkie. We brought them inside and candled them and to our surprise... Chicks! We found chicks developing in 3 of the 5 eggs and maybe something in another one. We figure that they are all between 2 and 3.5-4 days old...

    Broody Age

    I forgot to add that when I went to pet her she made a very low growling like noise as if she were protecting the egg.

    Broody Age

    At what age can chicken go broody? My partridge Cochin is 23 weeks old as of today and when we went out to lock them in tonight she had made a little nest and was laying right next to the fake egg we put in there. Then I saw her taking the egg underneath her with her beak. She has not started...

    When do cochins start laying?

    Hi I know this is like 7 years old but i was wondering what age they ended up starting to lay. I have a 25 week old buff cochin and she is showing all the signs of laying (even squatting when we go to pet her <for about a week or so>) but still no egg. Thanks
