    Broody Hen Thread!

    I did the float trick with my eggs and only one or two eggs moved....all 8 hatched and are all very much alive. Honestly I would give it a few days, chick doesn't seem like she is filling the available non-air sac space yet.

    3 week old gender guesses? picture heavy

    3 weeks ago my broody hen hatched out babies and I am getting antsy to figure out who is who. We can only keep (up to) 4 and I would like to rehome the ones we don't keep together. We can't keep any roosters so I will be sad if I make my decision and one turns out to be a rooster. First up are...

    Something is wrong with my maran :(

    ...laid an egg in a few days but I figured with the heat this week that was normal. She is my favorite girl, when they arrived as chicks last February I was sure she was dead and I brought her back, hand fed her and carried her around until she was acting normal. I will be so sad if she dies :*(

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I would bet they will. When my broody was hatching her eggs (once they started pipping) suddenly I had 2 hens, that had not been broody the entire 3 weeks, try stealing eggs from under my broody. I locked them away until the chicks hatched and then everyone was fine but you never know

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Poor baby :( hope she heals well We had a rough day, mama kept moving off egg #8 that pipped this morning and then I came back and saw that either mama or the babies had pecked at the egg and it had blood. I put it back for a bit and then decided to step in and did an assisted hatch, thankfully...

    Help, bloody egg?

    It doesn't appear to be injured but the membranes do look like they still have blood in the veins.

    Help, bloody egg?

    I have a broody hen who was sitting on 8 eggs, 7 of whom hatched yesterday/last night. The 8th pipped this morning. Mama hen moved earlier this afternoon and at that point there was a hole big enough to see the chick's beak and so I put the egg back under mama, just went out there and the chick...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    She is beautiful! I think this is just up to you, no real right or wrong. I would definitely relocate mama and baby to floor level before baby takes a tumble though. #7 hatched last night and #8 pipped! I can hardly believe all 8 are actually going to hatch, I just hope #8 is a quick...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Chick #7 (my orpington) has pipped! Chick #6 is slowly making it's way and the other 5 are doing well, fluffed out and starting to peek out from under mama. I am tempted to get the incubator ready for egg #8, I can't imagine she will sit much longer than another day and I just don't think that...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I'd take the fake egg out personally. I don't know much as this is my first broody but I was told they know if something is wrong with an egg, maybe she mixed the one up with the fake egg trying to get it out? So I candled the 2 with no pips so far. My only purebred orpington is alive! I saw...

    Cuckoo maran/orpington cross, sex link?

    My eggs are hatching! If I understand correctly chicks from a cuckoo maran hen and buff orpington rooster are sex linked so would that make this little one a girl? Watch for updates ;) another maran egg is currently zipping :) Also, probably not but maybe? Any way to sex newborn easter...
