    Hey There!

    More Quails and Chooks hatched from the Incubator. Turns out the eggs that the Orp was sitting on were still ok after not having sat on them for 2 days. Lucky I was able to source that incubator quick as I did.

    Broody Hen Thread!

    A broody hen will lay till she has a clutch of around 10 eggs then she'll stop for 21 days till they hatch. If your preference is eggs than no need to get a rooster and try to break her out of the habit like PDriverman said. My Hen was broody for like 10 days then she got turned off because she...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Hi Skunkwhisperer, I'm guessing it's because broodiness is contagious and before you know it you may have a whole flock of broody hens who constantly want to sit on eggs. Which ofcourse is annoying if you only want eggs. I would seperate the broody hen and throw a rooster in with her so at least...

    Chickens killed with only heads eat

    Thats amazing 16 paws! well done on your efforts! I had a rooster die in a similar way from a dog attack, He didnt look like he sustained any external injuries so I thought he was going to get better but he didn't survive the night.

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Thats a good approach , But how do you know which ones are fertile? or do you just throw a bunch under there and see what comes of it? p.s so I finally bought a second hand incubator yesterday. I hear bellsouth is a good brand. took the abandoned eggs and threw them in there see if anything...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    They are probably 10 days or so old , not to mention I threw some quail eggs under her also. At first she was totally cool with sitting there and didn't budge. I don't know whats gotten into her. I have to candlelight them first. I heard they may be ok for 24hrs

    Broody Hen Thread!

    That's interesting microchick, their behaviour sure is a trip. Now that my Orpington has discovered that others are putting more eggs under her she boycotted the whole operation, said stuff it and is back to doing her own thing! I'm confused now i have to scramble around to find someone that can...
