Yeah. We’ve watched her steer him away from the door. She’s got the other hens scared to go in the coop to lay and we’ve found a few eggs in the coop. She’s letting them in at night or maybe our rooster is helping with that. 🤷♀️
Fun to watch. On a side note the other egg hasn’t hatched...
It’s about three feet off the ground. They have food and water next to the nesting box she claimed. She’s still sitting on one egg, today is day 22 so we’re not sure that one is going to make it. It was laid the same day as the one that hatched.
We’ll let her figure it out then. Thank...
We have a hatched baby with a great mama but they are in a raised coop. We have an automatic door and have observed mama keeping the chick from going/falling out the door. Our concern is this little guy is only two days old and obviously won’t make it down the ramp.
Any insight on what we...
That’s what I figured. Was hoping a girl. Our roo is super mean and we found a new home for him but my hubby can’t seem to let him go. We only have nine hens so can’t keep both. Hopefully my hubby gives this little guy a shot.
So mom is a Barred Rick, dad is Lavender Ameraucauna. This picture was taken same day he/she hatched. I believe this makes baby a sex link. Boy or girl?
Different ppl. My chicken is the post. The one with two sick ones is a different person. Mine isn’t acting sick and has her tail feathers up sometimes.
