So kind of thinking about owning ducks one or two lol! Can you put ducks with you chicken flock?

They have been laying day and night for seven days now, is that a good indication? they really get fluffy and make a "roll your tongue" kinda noise when you put your hands by them

My thoughts too, just didn't know if there was a reason behind their behavior they are going here soon!!

So I have some Broody Hens I noticed they wouldn't get out of the nesting boxes so I out some eggs under them I have two roosters to 13 hens... will or could they hatch out them eggs??? I need advice on how I can possibly get babies the hens aren't even a year they are a blue cochin and a black...

yes I am thinking I will be butchering them, they run after my four year old my kids know to stay away but its frustrating because the hens are so nice and the kids give them treats and hold them and the roosters are always watching their woman they evena ttack my husband.....so yes time for...

That's exactly why I don't allow my kids in the coop without me, but I am thinking about eating them I just wanted some babies first was thinking about getting an incubator but now that my second rooster is also attacking I think it just might be time to say goodbye to them!! my daughter hates...

Okay suggestions, I have two roosters a blue Andalusian and a buff laced polish..... they are aprx 6-7 months old now. Every time mybkods go to the coop to collect eggs (I have to be with them) the roosters attack them AND my husband in the am when he lets them out for the AM.. they have never...

I like what I am hearing I will have to invest in a incubator and just try it out, got to start somewhere!! And maybe keep a few eggs behind innone of the buckets for the girls -although sometimes they like to break eggs which is another thing we are trying to work on!

And sonyoubare saying most eggs should be pretty fertile then

I have two roosters and 19 hens lol!!! And my 4 year old always yells WHY IS THE ROOSTER ON TOP OF MY CHICKEN- I tell her they like piggyback rides

This is good to know I will try that, I do have one barred rock I also have two white rocks and one seems to NEVER lay eggs even from the beginning she has never laid many and I'm not sure why and when I do hetveggs from under the other white rock it's mean it pecks me, but she also won't stay...

I did not know that, lol still learning! Okay so here comes another question my rooster is always trying to mate my hens does this mean that their eggs would be fertile then??? Or how does that work because I also thought about putting some in an incubator but I don't want to waste a bunch of...

I got my sexlinks from TSC how long imcan a hen be broody before it lays eggs and hatches them?

Oh no!!! Don't tell me that I got all my hens from a hatchery but 6 I got from my farm store (which probably came from hatcheries too)

Oh okay, well they do free range by themselves but I make them go back to the coop with the others at night (if I didn't make them they'd sleep outside or hide in my barn with the cows)
