Yay! One chick out & another external pipped. 5 others are not doing much for now. Candled 3 days ago & all looked good. Star is a nice hen. She lets me peek. :)
ok... the nest box is a medium dog crate. I could put the door on it to keep the other hens out. They all lay in her nest even though there are 3 other boxes! I have to pull eggs out every day.
I have my first broody hen. Hatch date is about Wednesday. I can't wait! She's got 6 ee eggs and 1 of hers(BR). Going to move her whole nest box this afternoon. Haven't had a chance to do it earlier. Will they be ok with the move?
one of my EE girls is jus like yours. Pure white with green legs. She lays different colored eggs. Sometimes they are greenish blue, pale green or a very pale lavender! They are also very smooth eggs. Almost porcelain like. She is my roosters favorite hen & it shows...poor girl Is looking ragged.
