    How to add to my brood?

    I have a rooster and 2 hens and I would like to increase their numbers by hatching out their own eggs. If I leave eggs in their egg box will that cause the hens or hen to become broody and sit on the eggs? If so how long do they incubate? If they hatch would I have to separate the hatchlings...

    New update on Sweet Pea

    Sweet Pea is sooo much better...laying some eggs but not on a regular basis like the others.

    Update on Ailing Hen "Sweet Pea"

    Ailing Hen

    Update on ailing Hen (Sweet Pea). Not much change. I moved her out of the nesting box and she promptly moved to the next one. More accumulated poop this morning looks stuck to her butt. I've had to work this last 5 days and haven't been able to keep a close eye on her to see what her habits...

    Ailing Hen

    The "poop" is very runny. No more eggs as of this morning. I'm afraid she might be dehydrated...I'm going to separate her tonite and give her water with a dropper just in case. What do you think?
