    Would they hatch?

    Okay. I have this bantam hen right and her egg is so small and so white i didn't know what to do with it. Then she went clucky. I thought bantams are known for being wonderful mothers but i was worried as she'd only been laying for a few months. I had this wonderful rooster it really was a shame...

    Found the eggs!

    I not to sure about whether you should replace their made nest with a nesting box but I do know about how to test you eggs. All you do is get a bowl or glass with water in it deep enough to cover 2 eggs end for end on top of eachother, vertically. Then grab one egg and using your hand in the...

    Does all crowing sound the same?

    All crowing is different, it's just like humans, our voices are all different sounding even though sometimes crows do sound pretty similar sometimes, with my roosters they've always sounded different. I had about 15 roosters for a time, about a month ago actually and i could tell each one of...

    I went over to my chook pen this morning and found my Gold Spangled Hamburg chick sitting on its tail, stuck in the corner of the nesting box. It was really weak and stiff at first i thought it was dead but it wasn't, only just alive. I didn't know what to do but in the end before i could do...

    Help me help my first-time chicken mama raise her babies right

    They're gorgeous. I would get them out into the portable pen as soon as they are strong and venturing out from underneath their mamma. I'd put them back in the pen they hatched in of a night though and as for free ranging i'd leave that for at least a few wks, or if you think it's safe before...

    moving a broody hen

    She should be okay until the chickens are hatching. Once they have hatched i would definitely separate her and her chicks just so the don't get accidentally squased. If the hen gets stressed she can accidentally hurt her chickens. Not to mention the other hens and rooster. But it depends on what...
