    Eggs Hatching

    Sorry to be PM you but you posted on my post on eggs hatching and I am hoping that you can help me out. I Just posted on my eggs hatching that I think that an egg is having problems hatching out.

    Broody Hen

    Thank you for the fast response. Yes, I do have a rooster and he does breed his ladies quite frequently. She has about 5 eggs under her and has sat on the religiously, only getting up to eat or drink. What are the chances that all the eggs are infertile? I would just be devastated if I took...

    Broody Hen

    Hello everyone, I am fairly new to chickens. I have had my first chicken, a bantam EE go broody a couple of weeks ago. I have tried to candle but honestly have no idea what I am doing. So I have left her and the eggs alone, and let her do her thing. My question is if the eggs are not fertile...

    Name: Mr. No-No Class: Cockerel Notes: Mr. No-No is a ladies man or so he thinks. He is a bantam that is almost 5 months old and is in love with my full size RIR. He is a brat when it comes to some people but treats the ladies of his heart like queens.

    19 and a half weeks old and still no eggs :( egg countdown anyone??

    Thank you!! I was super shocked and had to run and get my kids so they could collect them. They were all so happy they had to run and tell our neighbor and show off the eggs. I felt like such a proud mamma. Don't get me wrong. They were not very big, but they were perfectly shaped. This is the...
