    Broody hen questions. First time for all.

    I never knew that! That's awesome! I may have to look into getting some for my girls since we have three hawks that are persistent.

    Keeping chickens cool in the summer?

    We ended up building a run to add to the coop. There is a roof to make shade and the dirt helps them stay cool. Once a day I sprinkle water on the dirt floor and dig holes so they can take a dirt bath in it. We even put a nesting box inside because we find the girls spend most of their time in...

    Keeping chickens cool in the summer?

    Love that idea!!!! I have two coops one for my hen who had chicks two weeks ago and one for my other hens. I've noticed them all panting and holding their wings out. I wonder if I could offer a frozen jug to the hen who has chicks? I don't want the chicks to get cold, but I feel bad because...

    Broody hen questions. First time for all.

    Mine hatched at day 20 and 21. I was told it could take up to 25 days. I'm not sure how often they should be turned. I was aware when mine were going to hatch because I saw a small hole being started from the chick, and they hatched later that day. Good luck!

    Chicks finally hatched, but one chick seems to be weaker, please help!

    Right from the beginning I noticed her struggling drinking and eating. So I'm wondering if she has something going on that I couldn't help with. I felt just awful.

    Found out the pet store sells it. Thankfully she's hanging in. Praying she makes it.

    Do I buy electrolytes for her to drink or is there a recipe I can make?

    My broody barred rock named Speckles successfully hatched three eggs just a few days ago However one of the chicks seems weaker than the other two. I've watched her closely and noticed she seems to struggle drinking water, but she is always drinking water. I've watched her eating, but she does...

    Thanks everyone! I found out that this was originally a child's playhouse. The design is called "crooked house". I'm surprised that I can stand up inside and not even touch the ceiling. Right now I'm getting the girls use to sitting on the perch.

    Yes I still believe they should hatch. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
