    Broody Hen Thread!

    I'm in central Texas. She's in a pretty big house but the other hens and roosters stay out all day except to lay their eggs. As far as I can tell they are leaving her alone and laying in other boxes. I put some food in the box next to her but it didn't look like she's eaten. Should I pick her...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    One of my hens is broody and has not left her box for 5 days. I'm not sure how many eggs she's sitting on. Should I give her food and water in her box?

    Help! i just found a hidden nest with 21 eggs

    well she maybe about to start laying on them since there is so many. And if they are not to old they may hatch. so if it was me I would leave them there:) [/quote I think there may be two to three hens laying in that nest because there are two to three different shades of brown eggs in there...

    Help! i just found a hidden nest with 21 eggs

    I'm sure there's more than one hen laying eggs in the nest because I did notice two to three different shades of brown eggs. I'll watch her tomorrow and candle them. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the advice.

    Help! i just found a hidden nest with 21 eggs

    All my hens and roostets go into the coop at night but I found a hidden nest today with 21 eggs in it. One of my buff orpingtons goes missing everyday. But she roosts with the others at night. I'm assuming she's sitting on the eggs during the day but I'm not positive. I'll check tomorrow now...
