    Broody??

    Thank you. I’ll crack the eggs tomorrow am and see. We have grandchildren and we do want to experience chicks hatching. I’m going to show my ignorance with this question but if I leave the eggs and then realize she’s not really broody how long would the eggs be good to eat?

    Coop Update

    Yes that is the idea. But I'm trying to think of a way to make daily chores as easy as possible. Is it practical to think we could build a 100 x 40 ft inclosure, hot wire the bottom for ground predators, aerial predators...still thinking on that....nest boxes, roosting areas and ground cover...

    Needing building advice

    Hi, I've raised all kinds of animals in my lifetime, rabbits, orphaned squirrels, chicken, ducks, etc. But now I'm thinking of a new project....to build a free range habitat for a few guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens. Need some building plans advice before I get carried away.
