    Golden comet and white rock setting

    Yeah she's definitely a golden comet. She's a wonderful layer. I'd say she lays 4-6 eggs a week on average. This is her on the left

    Golden comet and white rock setting

    I have a golden comet that has been setting on 15 eggs for over a week now. I hadn't moved her off the nest that she made in the hen house cause she's a first timer and i didn't want to discourage her. So when the other hens would get in there with her and lay a egg I moved it to another nest. I...

    Duck kicking eggs out???

    My duck has been kicking her eggs out of the nest. at first I thought it could be cause they had died bit when I candled them they were still living. I marked the ones she kicked out yesterday to see if it was the same ones and today she kicked out different ones. Today is day 28 of her setting.

    Broody muscovy??

    My Lucy started laying about 11 days ago. She has 9 eggs in the nest. 2 nights ago she slept in the nest and stayed in most of the day. She got out a couple times. Yesterday she was in there most of the day; she hurried back to the nest when she saw me one time. She also attacked two hens when...

    Laying Muscovy?

    I noticed last night that she was on the nest for a while last night but she didn't stay once morning came. Will that affect the development if she sets on them later?

    White Leghorn, the forgotten breed

    My leghorns were about 6 months old when they started laying. I'm curious as to how their babies are going to do. I crossed my leghorns with a barred americauna mix.

    Laying Muscovy?

    My Muscovy started laying 2 days ago. I've never had ducks so can someone explain to me how long it takes for them to go broody? From what I've read muscovies will lay up to 15 eggs and then set. I just don't know if I should leave her eggs in there to see if she's going to set on them or not.

    White Leghorn x Dominique cross?

    I have chicks from a white leghorn and best guess was a Barred Dominique Cross. All of the babies are white like the leghorns but some of them have muffs. The roo had muffs. Would the muffs be a dominant trait in males? Daddy Mommy Baby

    White Leghorn, the forgotten breed

    I have 2 white leghorn hens that are a year old and then I've hatched out 8 of their eggs. My leghorns were the first chickens we got. I have one that lays 2 eggs a day. I was actually wondering do the roosters develop more quickly? I have 2 that are almost a month old and one of them already...

    Open sore help!

    I put her in with my week old babies so hopefully that'll do till I can work something else out. How will it heal? Will it scab over? This is the first big injury I've ever had to deal with so I don't know what to do.

    ISO mature hens near Hurricane. Need to be over a year old. I need to add more bigger hens to our flock. Our roo is getting a little too rough with the girls I have.

    Roo being a little too rough

    Thanks. When I checked them today I had to remove the hen cause he has completely broke through the skin. Like I can see muscle. I talked to my husband and we're going to try to get some more hens.

    Open sore help!

    My poor hen. I thought our rooster was being a little too rough but now I'm not sure. From yesterday till today they have pecked clean through the skin and I can see muscle. She may be fighting with the others too cause her beaks and where her comb attaches is bleeding too. Can I put some bag...

    Roo being a little too rough

    I just got a new roo on the 12th. The guy I got him from said he didn't have a problem with him being aggressive but he was also with 3 other roos. I have 5 hens in with him. At first the girls didn't have much to do with him. Now he's able to get to some of them and I noticed today he's picked...

    well I checked the 8 eggs I had in the bator (in a steamed up bathroom, thanks for the tip!) no movement, no chirping. I float tested them and they were barely breaking the surface. I eggtospied and some looked I guess shrink wrapped, I have a few that hadn't absorbed the yolk and was turned a...

    Sorry Paula! I'm not sure about the shrink wrapping. Hopefully someone with more experience can tell you. I can empathize about this hatch being more difficult. I feel the same way.

    Setting Feb 16, want to join in>Hatch-Along

    I think I had some beginner luck last time. I set 10 and hatched 8. This time I set 30, 20 went into lockdown and so far I"ve had 9 hatch, 7 living including the sickly one. I had 2 that had pipped but I think they quit cause last night they quit peeping and no movement. It's so hard cause I...
