    How long will a hen set on unhatched eggs?

    I could candle them, I just worry about disturbing her to much. She can peck pretty dang hard. She will even grab skin and shake like a dog.. That doesn’t bother me, I just don’t want to bother her.

    How long will a hen set on unhatched eggs?

    I have a white Rock who surprised me by going broody and actually started hatching eggs. I am not sure of the time between when all the eggs were laid but two have already hatched within the last two days.

    Hello all, curious if you can help me with an Identification. I received for chicks, juveniles. Three I know what they are but the fourth I have no idea. I was told Americana but I am 99.9% sure it's not due to its comb.

    Curling feathers on a Jersey giant chick

    Hello, I have a question regarding one of my Jersey Giant chicks from McMurray Hatchery. I ordered 15 straight run Jersey giant chicks, which are now a couple weeks old. One of them has the strangest curling wing feathers. Is this not a Jersey Giant or some sort of deformation?

    Sexing Ameraucana chicks

    Hello all, I have a question about Americanas hoping to get some clarification on. Yesterday I picked up two 12 week old Americanas to add to my flock. They are suppose to be hens buy I have my doubts. I have a hard time telling by their combs but they do have some little buttons forming on...
