    Broody hen shared her new hatchlings???

    I had 2 hens this year go full momma mode. As of yesterday my brown mom had 3 hatched. My gold hen none. Today we were fixing up her own private run for moms and babies when we noticed she got down out of box, left 2 of her new chicks with momma who didnt have any hatched yet and outside. Why...

    Help with lice/mite

    Sorry to ask but does it affect egg production? Safe to eat eggs, meat?

    Does this kill living and larva? What does the treatment process look like? I'll do some research thank you

    Help with lice/mite

    I recently took on A rooster for my flock. I had him with my flock for about 3 weeks before I realized how infested he was with lice. I have had to remove him and dispose of him due to his crazy mean attitude and aggressive behavior towards myself, kids and flock. I am wondering what I can do...

    Not that I see. I went out last night to check all the hens/roos because I was blown away I had chicks with fuzzy legs. I cant see where any of it came from. The chicks though are a gorgeous black with yellow markings. I dont think I'll mind at all!! Yellow wing tips and belly markings. Cute

    Rooster was a polish or Black copper Maran. Hens are mixed. I have silver laced wyandotte, speckled sussex, orpington, lavender ameraucana and Rhode island reds, barred brock & welsummer. I know mixed flock. I wasn't intending on breeding but it happened when we rescued 2 roosters.

    The 1st two pictures are the brown/red ones that hatched. Beautiful little babies with a lot of attitude! The next one with the prominate comb I got 2 of and they came out with that comb already!! The last ones are of "Rocket" has fuzzy feet and some beautiful markings but very fluffy.

    Mystery chick!

    Did you ever figure out what that chick is? I have a few that hatched yesterday that also have fuzzy legs!! None of my hens/roos have fuzzy legs so I'm confused.

    Ok well I thought because they were picking at the shavings they would eat their food. Guess not. What weird little fluffy legs they have too!!??

    Ok wonderful community!! Out of 24 in lockdown to 20 hatched!!! 😁 yikes. I cant seem to get them interested in the water or food. They like the bottom of their box or the pine shavings. Oh man though what a beautiful hatch for my 1st time chickens.

    Thank you. Yah I considered it but as they peep and roll their siblings around more are hatching so I'm gonna just let them do their thing until progress stops!! Got another one while I was cooking breakfast!!

    Ok so here is the 4 I have from over night. They are really knocking the other eggs around. I'm praying they havent disturbed the ones who has pipped already.

    Gahhhh! Why won’t my eggs hatch on the day that they are supposed to?

    Mine are expected born Easter too. Not intentional at all. Already have 1 out. Yikes early birds. Good luck
