    Once hatching starts how long till last chick

    Have a hen with a nest in a flower pot. Chicks started hatching early Monday. It is now Wednesday. I see at least 3 more eggs in hatched. How long do we give them to hatch. We plan to move her and her chicks to a special area set up for them and not a flower pot on the front porch.

    What kind is she?

    Definitely looking for broody traits. She is making raising new chicks very easy. And she seems very happy to do it. And I'm 99% one of our Bantam roosters is a cochin, so we are good to go. many thanks again.

    What kind is she?

    Ok Many thanks I was thinking she was a "mutt" She has been fighting with a "True silky" looking hen recently. But that is now over. I was considering trying a cage with the silky and another hen we have I suspect as being broody.

    What kind of goat? Nubian?

    Is this a nubian? His fur is much softer then our other nubian who are very corase. I assume if he is a nubian the softness is cause he's a kid.
