    2 hens are brooding & 1 just hatched a chick, now what???

    Thank you, I'll keep an eye on them and make sure the chicks are not being picked on. The mama's seem to be doing a great job, only left the eggs to poo & grab a quick bite to eat & they never left at the same time!

    Missing feathers on underside.

    That was kinda of my thought to, let her sit on her own, but when I was calling around for some fertilized eggs, 3 different places suggested that I move her on them during the night. So we did and soon after we were done clucking "Soft Kitty Warm Kitty" she went back up with the others!

    Chickens and Wild Mushrooms- Be careful!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. it amazes me how some people can be so closed minded and cruel. I agree with JAE1974, I would get a game camera that turns on when it senses motion.

    Missing feathers on underside.

    First of all, I want to thank you all for the great advice. This was my 1st experience with a possiable "brooding chic" some of the descriptions of brooding that you all have described, I have not really seen such as; sitting in the nest area longer in the daytime & night than the others, but...

    Missing feathers on underside.

    Ok now for the "I have no idea what kind of rooster to even consider" question, if I chose to let her brood & hatch. She is an Austrolop (5) & I also have 5 Wyndotes. Is this where I consider getting a (free) rooster for her and then having rooster soup?? I would probably have a hard time with that.
