    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thanks. The first one hatched a day before we thought. We moved her to a nice big box of her own after we found the first one. She has 3 more eggs so we'll see what happens today. I don't know if they are viable or not.

    Needs to go ASAP - Golden Laced Wyandotte Rooster

    Thanks for the help. We figured out the the post office is the only one that'll take him. And yes it has to be some special fancy filtered box. And we'll ship him overnight so it will be a pretty quick turnaround. I'll make sure there is an apple and/or orange in there for him. He probably...
