My hen finally went broody. Yay. Now I need to take ask the old eggs out. First question is what's the oldest the egg can be and still be good. Second question is how many eggs could I leave her with? Third question is if I move her to take some eggs is there a chance she will stop being broody?
Thanks. I do have a rooster. How long can the eggs stay unattended till the hen starts sitting on it? And another similar question is how long can the egg sit around before I take it to eat?
Someone mentioned that to get the chicken to lay in the coop you have to locker them in there for a bit. How small of an area do they have to be locked in? Can I let them out during the day?
Thanks so much for welcoming me into the community. That's a picture of the chickens (if is not a good one I can take another) Someone said it's an araibian but i could not find such a breed.
Hey I just moved to farm that deals mainly with sheep. There are a few chickens here that are not really dealt with and I figured I'd take them as a hobby. I know nothing about chickens. I hope you guys could help me out with understanding what breed they are, what there supposed to eat, why...
