    Baby did well over night under lamp. Peeping all night. Mom stayed on eggs over night and next baby is peeping like crazy underneath. Possibly still in egg. Phew!

    Moving Broody hen with 1 hatched chick and eggs??

    so... we did try to move her. AND she abandoned the nest. I found baby outside in the middle of coop. Thankfully in time. She went back up high into a box, and we moved the eggs back up there. The baby we took inside under the heat lamp. Should we put the baby back under the mother up high...

    OH NO... I went out and found mom abandoned the eggs... baby was out in the middle of the coop... :( UGH! I wish she had never sat on the eggs up so high. So we moved eggs back under her up high. she still has ones to hatch (one that is piping) and baby is in the house under a heat lamp. HELP!

    Eggs all weird shaped?

    So wondering why some eggs turn out oddly shaped. Almost like the shell got molded weird? Is the chicken lacking something?[/IMG]

    HELP New baby chick in egg hatched

    OH and we saw another egg with a small breakthrough! YAY Another green one. I am guessing that they are MOM (black silkie) and Daddy (Black Silkie Roo) eggs. Not sure if the black silkie will cross with the Polish chicken hens and americaunus as those are also some eggs she has under her.

    Ok... we moved her down below. EGGS AND BABY. She continued to sit and push them all under her so we are guessing we are good so far. Doing lots of praying. Now I just hope no one kills the babies in the coop.

    HELP New baby chick in egg hatched

    Yes she is with the mother under her.... but they are two feet up in a box. I would like to keep her with the mother rather then be alone. So do we move the mother and baby to ground in the coop with all the other chickens? or to a brooder completely separate?
