    How long does it take a hen to hatch eggs?

    It takes about 21 days for the eggs to hatch. You can touch the eggs anytime, just put them back and she will start sitting on them again.

    Broody hens

    There are 3 hens and they take turns one will go up and one will come down for a while. It's so funny and neat at the same time. They have a rotation going on.

    What kind of rooster is this?

    Thanks! He seems scared of us right now. We raised him since he was little. He has never done anything but he has just gotten to his mature stage too. Doesn't seem aggressive at all right now
