Oh what a clever girl! The others will follow suit soon enough! My girls were all sisters and one started laying two weeks before another one decided to join her and another two weeks for the others. Mines of their own those chookies. Its definately going to be more exciting checking the...

oh my... so they are ment to be inside??? Man I should read more info on this I think! Im about to head out to collect the eggs, eek.

Im thinking I might put her in our old rabbit hutch so my son doesnt collect the fertile eggs by mistake. Im just worried it wont be a 'nest' for her and she packs a nonsense and leaves the eggs alone?? Should I patch up the hole so she cant leave the hutch? What should I mark them with? crayon?

Awesome thanks everyone. Ive ordered 6 and hopefully can pick them up this afternoon. She an orph x Sussex x leghorn mutt so decent sized and Ive been making sure shes removed from the coop everyday to eat much to her disgust She seems to be staying the same size as her non broody sisters. We...

Oh and how many eggs is a good number for one bird to hatch?

My chook has been broody for around 2 weeks, and now Ive found some fert. eggs is it too late to stick them under her?? I really wanted her to raise some chicks but couldnt find any eggs until now. Will she stay broody long enough to hatch them if they are there, at the moment shes stealing the...

Thats so funny, theres no such thing as hedgehogs for sale in NZ, they are just a wild critter here, that nibble on your garden at night. I have never considered people keeping them as pets before, too spikey.

Quote: Yes fairly sure they are, I was told they were a week old when I got them. do they look younger or older? Im so glad noone has said 4 roos yet

OK Ive driven myself nuts trying to guess! I think I have one roo but then he looks the same shape in body and gets bossed around and eats last normally. Ive had them since a week old and they all grew at the same rate. They are light sussex (dad) x orph x leghorn mix (mum) and from what Ive...

When do the pointy saddle feathers show? or are they there in the first lot of feathers they grow

So its a similar question to how long is a peice of string? Oh well, the longer he doesnt crow the more I can pretend its a she.

Mine chase each other around for them.

on average. I think i have one or two roos in my bunch but im not sure, so figured Id just wait for some crowing, they are around 10 weeks at the moment. (sussex x orph-leghorn) Also roos do they eat first or let the girls eat first? The one Im sure is a roo always gets to the food first then...
