    grrr Please read !

    I keep laying pellets in my coop, but my girls and the roo (and now a dozen 2m old chicks) free range my 1 acre yard, my neighbors yards for 99% of their food. They rarely eat any pellets and i have eggs every day. I quit locking the coop at night and they come and go as they please. I even...

    Best Broody Hen

    Ill have to go with a game hen. Mine has gone broody 4x this year and only gets off the nest for someone to lay her another egg. And she is FEISTY in protecting her nest. I just pulled eggs out from under her and substituted eggs from the incubator. I figured i would rather her raise them...

    moving eggs from incubator to broody hen

    Her box is a couple of feet off the ground. Theres a 2" board in the front to keep eggs from rolling out. Should i move her nest to the ground so the chicks dont fall out? Or will she push them from the box eventually

    moving eggs from incubator to broody hen

    I figure once she hatches them out and starts raising them, ill spend enough time with them to change their mind. I just dont want the aggrevation of having to hand raise them as new hatches. Last time with 12 of them it was more than i bargained for. I had bought 8 law grey eggs and put in...

    moving eggs from incubator to broody hen

    i can put the other hens and roo out to pasture. They dont like beting in the coop anyway. I just got tired of looking for eggs so i recooped them. They will welcome the freedom and it will give the broody time to her self. thanks for that idea.

I sounded like a dirt track race car hauling butt home. Just as i pulled into our dirt road, a pepsi truck was flashing its lights at me, and...

    My Game hen just went broody a few days ago, and I have about 8 eggs in the incubator that are less than 6 days from hatching. I would LOVE to swap out her eggs with the ones in the incubator and let her raise them. Im just curious if she will hatch them since she just went broody. Do they...
