    Broodies close to hatchign eggs..move of leave alone?

    From what I was told you should wait until a couple days after the hatch and do it at night, all in one go, as to not stress anyone. That's what I plan on doing.

    Three days away from my first hatch...couple of questions.

    I can't speak from experience, but had mine taken to the dog crate I would have moved them out at night a couple days after the hatch. Good to know that they'll mix with the other chicken right away.

    Three days away from my first hatch...couple of questions.

    No, the nesting box is a little high for that I think at eighteen inches. I believe it would make the ramp too steep. Though in the smaller coop I could construct a ramp and they'd be just fine. Good idea with constructing a ramp though, I may look into that when I get home. Thanks!

    I Helped My First Two Chicks Hatch--Big Mistake! Help!

    I'm not sure what that could be, and hopefully they get it together and learn to walk. Glad you had a good hatch and keep us updated!

    Setting eggs on 6/9 and 6/11 who else? Come join in :)

    I set twelve to hatch on the 10th, lost one and am down to eleven. It's my first time and very excited for my girl to be a mama. I had six Lavender Orpingtons and six Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. Like I said, I'm down one but not sure which breed. I like surprises. :) Anyway, very much looking...

    Three days away from my first hatch...couple of questions.

    Okay, so I have a broody sitting on eleven eggs right now. She has been sitting in the nesting box which is about eighteen inches off of the ground. I tried to move her to a dog kennel but she kept trying to get out and not sitting on the eggs. Anyway, I know once the chicks hatch this will be a...

    Limp and lifeless chick, any ideas?

    I received my chicks yesterday and all seemed to be great. Today I noticed one sleeping a lot, which I know chicks do, but when I returned from lunch I knew something was wrong. I picked her up and her body is just limp, her head dangles, her eyes are closed and she looks really bad. She is...

    Are these eggs fertile???

    Can't wait to hear how a hen that hasn't had any contact with a rooster is still laying fertile eggs!

    Need help. Should I be switching to Layer?

    I have a flock that three are three weeks older than the rest. I switched to layer at twenty-three weeks because I new my Dom's were about to start laying, and I was also running out of the start and grow. They have taken to it fine and I don't provide the oyster shell. My girls free-range all...

    Layer pellets

    Mine said no to the pellets at first, they ate a small amount. But after about a week or so, they are eating them up. Give it time, they'll get it. I was having a problem with them wasting so much crumble as well.

    Rooster rules?

    I also got surprised with a cockerel some months ago. He and I were very close and he was my baby, UNTIL...he started crowing and becoming a man. Now, every day is the same thing. He comes and does his little mating dance, I can't pick him up normally (it normally involves a mild chase), and he...
