    How to avoid a fertilized egg from incubating/hatching

    That's what I thought but I wanted to make 100% sure! If the hen sits on it for a day while I'm at work, would that do anything? I'm more concerned about while it is still in the coop with them. Or would the hen really need to sit on it nonstop for multiple days?

    This morning I woke up to my two month old pullet hanging upside down with her leg caught on the hanging part of the water jug.

    Dust Bath- Disappeared?

    Gave my chicks (3.5 weeks old) their first dust bath in a smaller shallow container. After about 15 hours the soil/DE/herbs are completely gone!! I know the dirt can come out while their cleaning and probably because of how shallow it is but I don’t even see any dirt on the bedding of their...

    Pullet or Cockerel?! 2.5-3 week old chick! Sapphire Gem

First picture is both - the left smaller one is the one I’m questioning and the right is the one that definitely looks like a pullet to me! The rest are all other photos...
