    Letting mom raise her chicks...

    Thankfully I still have some starter feed. I guess since it's so much work raising them in the brooder, tracking heat, keeping shavings out of the water, etc. that it seems so strange to not do anything. I just can't be home enough. Thank you.

    Letting mom raise her chicks...

    It is. She's only 7 months old. Hoping she does well. I just can't be home enough right now.

    Letting mom raise her chicks...

    I just came home and found this!! 😍 I can't raise them right now. I need to let her do it. She's currently in a coop that she can have all to herself. I pulled the big waterer and put out the chick size feeder and waterer. Am I horrible for letting nature just take it's course? They're a few...

    Moving hen and eggs

    Thank you. That answers my question. My concern was the chicks falling out of the nesting box and getting back in.

    Moving hen and eggs

    Yeah, she was broody and after a couple of days of her yelling at me collecting eggs, I just decided to let her keep the 4 that she had (laid by 4 different hens that day). We have 1 rooster and 25 hens, so my thinking was that they probably weren't fertilized. I (sort of) candled them yesterday...

    Moving hen and eggs

    I have a very young hen that has been broody for 2 weeks and is sitting on four eggs. She is in one of the nesting boxes that is a couple of feet off of the ground. Should I move her and the eggs to a better location?

    Adding eggs under a broody hen

    Hello I have a hen who has been sitting on a clutch of eggs for 3 to 4 days. Is it too late to add more eggs under her?

    Onyx Olive Egger?

    Finally!! ☺️ I have 3 Onyx Olive eggers (as they were labeled at my local feed store who uses Ideal hatchery). I started finding these eggs a few days ago. Today I finally saw one of them in the nesting box. I'm guessing at least two of them laid these, but I don't know yet. Love them! *Edit to...

    Onyx Olive Egger?

    Love them!! Mine are only 12 or 13 weeks, so I still have a little while. My Seafoam Eggers that I got at the same time are beautiful. Can't wait for them all to start laying!

    Seafoam Eggers

    I'm in love with the coloring of these chickens. My camera doesn't do them justice. I bought two of them from my local feed store. I believe they use Ideal Poultry. They are 11 weeks old.

    Onyx Olive Egger?

    Same on all counts! :) Mind are several weeks younger. Only one has the copper around her neck. Two of them have more of a Legbar body shape and crests.
