    Relocation of nest & hen

    So, just an update... She has 4 healthy chicks, and one more egg (her actual egg) to hatch. Now with the babies, I put her in the nursery so her box is on the floor for the chicks safety, and she's fine - she is not coming off her egg. So far so good!!! 4 chicks are healthy while we all wait...

    Relocation of nest & hen

    Yea, thank you. I’ll mark the 4 she has been on and I think my husband figured how to lock her in but with an extension for small feed & water bottles. Gonna go figure some ideas for now. Thanks again!!

    Thank you, this is very interesting information. I love learning new things. I only really know about equine pecking order and I’ve never seen my chickens fight so this was very informative. Thanks 👍

    Relocation of nest & hen

    I’m curious if there any particular way or safer way to relocate a hen on her eggs & nest? I have rows of wall boxes, like a chicken condo. Typically my hens share a community box on the ground. I have a few floor boxes left from my quail. This hen, Summer, she laid her egg in a wall box...

    Hello all, Christie here 👋 I have 4 roosters. My silkies don't come outside. So my sage gem, Clyde & my Welsummer are in and out alll the time. My roosters do not fight. However, it’s very strange that my sage gem roo seems to be 2nd man in charge. My Welsummer, Amos, he knows it is his coop...

    Thank you for that info. I just think I’ve ever heard or read about it, so I though to ask the experienced. The temp range is also good to know. Thanks!!!
