One of my chickens have started laying, but she just lays it anywhere but in the nest box. Can you help me to make her lay in the nest box. This is the first time I have had this problem and I have 1 who is yet to lay and I don't want her to teach her that.
My problem is that yesterday my broody's eggs hatched . Now she was sitting on 9 eggs have seen only 3 chicks to this stage .My concern is that there are some embryo's in the nest looking at it and by the smell . She is very protective I would like to move her and clean the nest box and put in...
Hi I put my chicks and mum in with my other hens when they were 8 weeks old.Had no problems at all.They are 10weeks old now and mum still looks out for them.I might add that she's such a good mum even tho she didn't lay the eggs.
Hey Allicoop basically just starting to take an interest in them. Have 5 Isa Browns ! gl Wyndotte Nd 4 bantams that are 8 weeks old today.Do you have many ,and what breeds are they?
