    Moving eggs

    Broody hen

    I've been giving her food and water. Our other hen is taking care of the chicks. Ok. How do I break her from sitting? How do I get Duchess to sit on her eggs? Right now there are 5 duck eggs. Should I just leave them alone, hoping she will sit on them?

    Hatched chicks

    I have 4 roos. 2 hens. I know I need to get rid of 3 of the roos. I also saw one of the mommas eating the shell of a chick already hatched. Should I let them do this or crush it up for them?

    Hatched chicks

    I thought they would hurt the chicks. The humidity is very high here. The leaves and hay get moldy fast.

    One of my chickens finally laid eggs! Found 4 in a nest in the coop yesterday and 1 today. The roo stood by her while she laid the 1 today. Is that normal?
