    New chicken /Cocidia/Mites EVERYWHERE

    She's eating and drinking well. I did do the water test and it never turned pink. I was thinking it might be intestinal shed I guess hoping more so. Corrid is expensive 🥹

    Hen Rivals and Hatching Eggs and Keeping the Brood Safe

    We had another hen hidden going broody and I found this!! I guess she somehow got an egg and I never noticed it. Unfortunately little baby is not doing well. She won’t use her feet and is weak. I’m confident she won’t make it. I wish I found her sooner.

    well it appears we are only getting the four SO, momma is going back in the coop Tonight while everyone sleeps. I hate to take her babies from her as she seems like a great mom, but i don't trust the rest of my flock to be around lil babies. I have a few mean hens who might hurt them or worse...

    Hen Rivals and Hatching Eggs and Keeping the Brood Safe

    She seems fine where she is , but when I opened the gate first thing CT jumped in there and rolled several of the eggs under her. I think she might just want the clutch! Considering giving her a few honestly. I don’t know what more to do besides allow nature to do its thing, and get my incubator...
