    To hatch or not?

    She is a black star. She is less than a year this isite her first hatch. I think we got her in march/April. So 8 months old I think.

    To hatch or not?

    She won't let us touch her. I will get an egg count once she moves to go eat. Will it hurt the eggs to get cold once she leaves to eat? How many should I leave under her?

    To hatch or not?

    Also is it to cold to let her hatch them. I live in Pennsylvania. Should I bring the chick's in under a heat lamp once they do hatch or will they be ok with her? Sorry for all the questions. I'm new at this.

    To hatch or not?

    Ok should I put nesting/bedding in there for her? I'm not sure how many eggs she has but I saw about6 around her that she was not sitting on. :(

    To hatch or not?

    I found one of my black star hens sitting on her eggs in the rafters of our shed. Should I let her stay or try to move them. I would like to let her hatch them but I'm concerned about the location. I don't want the chick's to fall when they hatch. HELP!!!!

    What breed is my roo?

    We have had him maybe 3 months. When we first got him he escaped our fenced not coop area and stayed one for 2 days. He will run from us :( but he he does love his ladies. We currently have black stars and red Ranger hens with him.

    Hi from PA

    I love my chickens:) we had a red Ranger rooster but something got in the coop and killed him. :( we where so sad. Yes red Rangers are fryer chickens but they lay very large brown eggs. We can't bring ourselves to kill them for the meat. Our black stars just started laying. They are such great...
