    Need Help Quickly. Please! Hatching egg

    Thanks. I don't have an incubator. :( The chick is very active. I have situated the egg as best as I can to prevent crushing. All I can do is pray now.

    Need Help Quickly. Please! Hatching egg

    Today is expected hatching day for one of my hens and 5 eggs. I have one pipping nicely. I have found this one however. I don't know for sure what happened to it. I made the rookie mistake of not moving Chili when she decided to sit. So other hens will get in her nest to lay when she leaves to...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    "Mom, can we go visit Roger?" I don't know, why do you want to do that? "Cause Roger said she knows special things we can do that will change your life. We think it's good things." Hmm, I'll think about it.

    Our Tractor Supply has them, but they are .49 each! Way too much! I thought they were a lot cheaper there, but when I looked it up online, that was the price. hmmm

    Good morning all. I have a 2 part question about egg laying and nests

    Missing chicken found and sitting on 23 plus eggs!!!!

    Yeah, what Kelsie said. I would add this...since she may be trying to add eggs in, I would mark the ones that she already has so that you know if she gets any new ones. Then those can be removed.

    If/When to remove the decoy eggs?

    I plan to leave my fake eggs in. One of the purposes of the fakes is so that if the chickens try to peck at them, they find it's not food. Maybe they aren't pecking at their own eggs now, but if one becomes curious later, you will still have those fakes to turn them off. Just make sure you are...

    One of our cockerels learning to crow

    My 17 week old RIR tried to crow on Saturday. I only heard him one time and not since. He sounded a lot like yours. So cute!

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Yes, she is a big girl! Now, I just need her and the others to catch up to the 16 and 17 week old RIRs, BOs and BRs. They jump them every time I try to let them be together. The little girls are in their own "Mini-cooper" with a dog kennel for a run...all inside of the big run.

    Thank you everyone! I knew the patterns looked like girls, but was a little worried about Izzy...and she's my favorite! I also worried about Poof because of the black spots. Thanks for making me feel better about them all. I don't want to give up any of my EEs. I've already had a RIR that turned...
