My 1st time setting. Hen is still setting on the rest of the eggs. This little 1 was found outside the nest in a mud puddle so "she's" taken up residence in an aquarium. She's doing great so far, only problem is possible imprinting. She peeps like crazy when she hears my voice & looking around...
Hate to report that something stole poor Dottie's eggs :( Not sure what happened. Out of 22 eggs I only found 6 empty shells the rest were completely vanished.
Poor girls has moved to another nest & is sitting on them. I'm not sure if they're fertile or not but right now I dont have the...
Noticed Dottie hadnt came to greet me for a couple of days, honestly spooked me & I spent an hour searching my yard calling her only to finally find her safe & sound & quiet peeved to be disturbed in the nesting box. She's no longer my sweet little gal & she tucked a few more eggs under...

Sorry not the best pics. I know I have some Dominikeers but the rest I have no clue what are. The Rooster with the orange head is the mean 1. The pretty blue looks scary but he's laid back. I'm trying to find a good pic of just the mean roo to find out what type he is.
thanks for the welcome & thanks CarolJ. I'm in West TN. I'm honestly terrified of Diablo either my husband or dad has to come get eggs with me. Everyone keeps saying he has my bluff but I ain't buying that.
My family raised chickens when I was a child so I'm not completely new to them, but this is my first adult venture with my own. I got 17 6 month old chickens & 2 drakes back in March then for Easter, the Bunny, left 4 sweet pullets & 6 ducklings for the kids. I have to admit I've enjoyed the...
