    looking for ideas? how to mark my chicks ?

    Hold a chick upside down and if it fights its a roo and if it just calms down its a hen. Saw it on here and granddaughter wanted to try it and see if it works My guess is it's like all the other wives tales 50/50 either way.

    Broody Hen No Eggs

    I have a hen who has been broody all summer, but has yet to hatch eggs. She just lost her last batch 3 days ago and will not get off the nest. I am sure she gets up to eat but not much. My question is any idea how long she can stay on a empty nest? Do I need to make her get up for her sake?

    Are my chicks too young to be outside on their own all day?

    Just make sure they have plenty of water and a cool place to hide and they should be fine. Mine are 3 weeks old and they are outside in a cage all day.
