    Hey all! Haven't been on in forever but wanted to say "Hi"! There's no way I'm catching up on the thread but I hope all is well. I'm down to 1 small mixed flock (for various reasons), plus my daughter's backyard silkies, but still loving my birds. For Mothers Day I bought myself 16 Welsh...

    June hatch-a-long!

    Hi all! I'd like to join in on this one. I have 15 Welsh Harliquen duck eggs on day 18 in my incubator, only had one infertile that was tossed on day 10. We haven't hatched anything this year and it's been 2 years since I've used the bator. And these are my first ducks! I'm more than a little...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I have done both with success so it's really up to you and your flock dynamics. If you have a way to block off the nests they are sitting in when the chicks start to hatch (to keep nosey hens from disturbing them) and the coop is safe for chicks then I would leave them where they are. You will...

    I've only done it once. But I waited until nighttime when she was asleep on the nest and the babies had fallen asleep under the brooder plate. I cupped the chicks in my hand in case she freaked out and pecked and slipped them under her from behind and then pulled out her dummy eggs. I did this...

    If you don't want more chickens then either break her or you could let her sit on fake eggs for a few weeks and then give her some feed store pullets. That way you're not stuck with roos to get rid of - pullets are easy to find homes for. Some hens will never go broody again; or will only brood...

    I'm really sorry to hear about both of these - hopefully it's not a genetic thing - Please share the necropsy results when they come in.

    Thank you so very much! I might just have to give it a try and see how they hatch out.

    Thank you. I was thinking the cream was silver based - still trying to figure out genetics in general. I was thinking that a black sex link wouldn't work because the Red Orps hatch with pale down; but the Cream Legbars have the wild-type stripes so I guess if they all hatch with stripes then...
