    They are hatching

    My little missing hen's eggs are hatching. We got 4 babies yesterday and there are still 18 eggs under her. I haven't checked her this morning for more. But we are leaving town so she will have to manage on her own. I will be taking the ones that have hatched with me. I am a happy proud mama.

    My hen went missing. She was on 22 eggs, when we found her. I have no idea how long she has been sitting on them. Here are some pics of the eggs candled.

    Hen on 23 eggs!

    I think today is day 20. Since she went "missing" is it ok to check them this close to hatching?

    Hen on 23 eggs!

    Im still in my first year with chickens. We thought we lost a hen. But she showed up one day. I followed her to under the front porch. She has a HUGE nest! 23 eggs. We candled 2 eggs and we are guessing they will be hatching any day. I have decided to not let her raise them. My questions: Out of...

    German Shorthaired Pointer with chickens?

    She is never left unattended. When no one is home, she goes in her crate. She also sleeps in the house and my chickens get locked up at night in their coop. We can agree to disagree.

    German Shorthaired Pointer with chickens?

    I wont give up the clicker. That is how I am training her. She is learning to ignore the chickens and that they are part of the family. I swear by the clicker. :) She is never left alone with the chickens. We have 4 chicks in the house and she is also figuring out that if she ignores those too...

    My babies are fighting

    Two of the TJ chicks have very big combs compared to their sister. Hers is half the size and light pink. The other two are almost red. The EEs, I have no clue which is which. I do notice that one of the lavender ones is always going against the bigger TJ roos.

    My babies are fighting

    Well..... darn! I dont want any roos.... im sure my neighbors will be complaining(I live in the country but noise travels). So, out of respect.... I decided no roos. These are straight runs so I knew it could be 50/50. So far I noticed 4 are fighting. The others are too busy being chicks.

    My babies are fighting

    Thank you. is it just the roos that do this? If so, it will make it easy for me to figure out the boys from the girls.
