    modern game hen--soft-shelled egg

    My son bought a pair of modern games 1 1/2 weeks ago at a poultry show. The birds came from the same line that won the champion bird came from, so my son was really excited. Anyway, the hen is almost 2 years old. She laid her 1st egg for us a couple of days ago. It was a soft-shelled egg...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    Wow, thanks, ddawn. You gave me, and others, a lot of great information. I am going to try to move the one broody cochin bantam tonight with the eggs that she has been sitting on, and hopefully, if she stays on the eggs, change out the eggs to fertile ones in a day or 2. I'll leave another...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    Quote: If I have another to go broody, I might decide to let her hatch in with the flock. After the chicks hatch, would I then need to move her with her chicks to another location? My nesting box is elevated, and I'm not sure how they, the chicks, could get up and down to feed and drink...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    Plecostrum, you have some good questions. Hopefully, someone more experienced than I can help. I don't believe, though, that you can give your broody chicken chicks to take care of unless she has hatched them herself. She might attack them? I know that you can swap the store eggs for fertile...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    Racuda, how do I take the eggs away from her to candle them, if we indeed get that far? Would I take them out from under her one at a time and mark each one so that I would know which ones I had candled? Would you recommend I move her to the garage (which is part of my basement)? If we...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    Hey guys, I was thinking of trying 5 if she can fit them underneath her. She is real "floofy". The eggs would be considered a large size. Hoppy, I can't leave her where she is/put a cage around her because she is in a nesting box that if I put wire in front of will not allow her to get to the...

    broody bantam? when do I move, and how many LG eggs can she hatch?

    My son has some 6 month old partridge cochin bantams. One is exhibiting some signs of broodiness. I've been wanting one to go broody, leaving eggs in the nesting box for 2 days or more at the time. One nesting box was the only one they were laying in. Finally, I decided to move a few eggs to...

    2 chickens died, emaciated, green poop, help please for cause

    Valsey, I spoke with a girl at the poultry diagnostics lab at University of Georgia. She told me that the Georgia labs do the same tests and have the same procedures as they do, just at a cheaper price. Before that I had left a message for a Dr. Davis at one of the Georgia labs--I'll have to...

    2 chickens died, emaciated, green poop, help please for cause

    I checked for mites--no mites (at least not visible). I have my chickens in pens on the ground--I don't free range because of predators. I have not wormed my chickens. I am concerned about using medicines for worming as I try to go as natural as possible. How do you administer, and how...

    Someone e-mailed me about West Nile virus. Do you think that's what my chickens had?
