Niss, I did give her a clutch, after she was sitting on her own eggs for 10 days. This first was a trader Joes experiment that did not work. I have read in many places that it does work, just not for me. After she set on that bunch for 12-14 days I ordered 12 eggs from the internet. They came...

So here is an update. Out of the 2 sets of eggs 12 in the first 15 in the second we just got the one chick. Amazing to me that when I tapped the shell it peeped back at me. I still just can not believe it. Prissy is a good momma. I was worried that she would not come out to eat or take the...

Today I went out to the "brood" box, it is really just a dog carrier, to check on the eggs. So much loss this week. When Prissy stepped out to poop and drink I picked up each egg and gave it a tap with my finger nail...drum roll please yep I got a pip out of one egg. So exciting. I had to...

Thanks tomorrow will be day 20. From what I have read broodys will hatch at day 20 incubators at day 21. Suggestion from a friend and some other reading says to get some day olds and slip them in in the cover of darkness. Remove the eggs insert quiet peepers and hope for the best. She and I...

I have a broody hen and she has been sitting for a very long time. First set of eggs did not hatch not a single one of them. They were fertile but nothing happened. I candled the first set and knew that they were not developing so I got on it an ordered some more online. Fast forward to now...

thanks all for your help. My son was worried that we had a pheasant. This one has quite the build. I do not think we have pheasant but who knows. When you purchase straight run from the feed store you take you chances. I will keep posting so that I am no longer new and photos will be in the...

I have 5 5-7 week old chicks I know that one is a sex-link, two are slikies, one is yellow and I have no idea what she/he is. The last one is big really big and has green legs, yes green. Well greenish and did I say big? I have not been on the list long enough to post pics, but I would still...

Best investment we ever made is a double with double think sleeping pad from Cabellas. Second best is the double wide 2 person down sleeping bag. Now that is snugglie Third best thing tent for the boy and dog. Yep mom and dad in one tent dog and boy in the other. Remember though that the...

Fresno is closer than Maryland send them this way on the train. I have huge area for them and they will be loved and free range. Good luck to you. Jen

I have a girl maybe a red, who is just sitting all day. She comes out for a meal and a dirt bath, but she just wants to sit all day. Friend told me to get her some fertile eggs to hatch. Im fine with babes and I have the room any one try this? jen

I paid a woman who had to travel 30 miles $20 per day and eggs. With fuel prices what they are I thought that I was getting a good deal. My ladies were still mad when I came home being cooped up for a week. Normally they are free range. Jen hen crazy 4 big mommas 5 chicks hoping the chicks...

Thanks for asking that question I have been searching around for 15 minutes trying to figure it out. I have the same thing picture is uploaded but I can not figure out how to post. Looks like you have to have about 10 post until you can post a pic.

My question is similar. I now have 4 adults not quit a year old free ranging 3 Wyandottes 1 red. I want to introduce 5 little ones, they are between 5 and 7 weeks, 2 silkies, 1 black sex link, and 2 unknown at this time. How long should I wait to introduce the little ones to the ladies? How...
