So just crack an egg from the egg box? How many hens for 1 rooster anyways? I hear 1 chick chirping so I got 1 out of about 20 so far. Also, I have 2 hens that are broody now. They won't move. lol
I have never seen my last rooster jump on the girls back to do his thing. I have 20 something eggs in an incubator and I an not seeing anything in them. Is there anything I can do? I really wanted to have some more buff chicks. I use standard egg laying pellet feed and they free roam. please help!
I have a hen who is bald on her back and butt. We have a 3 roosters but we have a about 8 young ones coming up. What can I do to help this hen out? I washed her up and there was a string on her leg I cut off. Please help me!
Thanks James

I have one hen that wants to be a mom but I have 4 nesting boxes right next to each other. I don't know when she is going out to eat/drink. But when she does she goes from box 2 to box 3 or sometimes box 1. How do I keep her going to the correct box? Should I make a small cage just for her? I...
