    Hatching

    by my count, I am expecting some hatchlings and the 7th. They are in the coop being sat on. All the info on hatching eggs that I can find is on using a incubator. Since mine are natural, is there anything that I should do or just let nature do it's thing? I'm also a bit worried because the...

    Egg production low

    I'm new at this but if I understand correctly, while my birds are molting egg production will decrease. How long will the molting time last? Also, I have younger birds that should be just about the right age to start laying but they're not, could that be because of the molting? Also, I had...

    Hurt leg

    From what I read, the chances are slim. I was considering putting him down. We had tried to tie the leg in hopes of him learning to hop on one leg.

    First egg, sort off

    Ok, it happened again. I found another "egg" under the roost last night. I added some sand to soften the ground in hopes that I can get a whole egg to confirm if it shelless or soft. Time to add some calcium, but should I add it to the food or in a bowl by itself?

    First egg, sort off

    Thanks for your input, feeling better now. I thought that I had read somewhere that the first eggs can be unusual. But I was surprised seeing an egg this early.

    First egg, sort off

    My chickens are no more then 4 months old. I found a "egg" that I am assuming was dropped from there roost. The yolk and white looked fine. The inner shell skin looked ok too. But there was no evidence of a harden shell at all. (See photo) Like I mentioned, they couldn't be more then 4...

    Hurt leg

    I'm sure it is just an injury. He was fine the night before and then when we went to check on the flock then next day I noticed he wasn't his energetic and playful self. There isn't any noticeable injuries, and I don't believe it's broken because he did walk on it. I have him in a pin to keep...
