Ok so we wanted to raise some chicks but didn't know how to go about get my hens to brood. ( I should have looked on here first, I know...)Someone told me to just leave some eggs in the box and one will lay on them. So this has happened but now I have been reading posts and see that some have...
My hens are 13-15 weeks old. Should I start introducing nest boxes?? If they start laying before I get them in there will they go to them and lastly do I really need a nest box if I am just collecting the eggs daily??
Came out to see my chicks this morning and found a hen with this. Could this be from a roo? No possiabluty of other animal attacks, no other hens injured she is isolated can she be turned back with her flock?
Not sure about my Ameraucana. It's comb is a deep red-- my other two have very pale combs in comparision-- But it has no wobbles and "meeps" instead of trying to crow like my other roo. It was hatched mid march. [/IMG][/IMG]
