    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    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?

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    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?

    So if I wasn't them to go broody I shouldn't collect the eggs?

    Can someone explain to me what eggs a broody hen sits in if she does not lay eggs when she is broody?

    not sure what breed these are

    Should the pic be of the head? The legs? Feathers?

    Nest box basics

    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?

    If anyone can help me figure out the breed that would be great. I can take better pictures if that one is not good.

    hey I'm new

    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'm new

    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...
