What are the rules for hatching eggs? If I collect eggs every day, after a week can I pick which ones I want to hatch? How about 2 weeks? Is there anything to look for that would suggest one egg is better than another? Thx!
I just came home and found this!! 😍
I can't raise them right now. I need to let her do it. She's currently in a coop that she can have all to herself. I pulled the big waterer and put out the chick size feeder and waterer. Am I horrible for letting nature just take it's course? They're a few...
I have a very young hen that has been broody for 2 weeks and is sitting on four eggs. She is in one of the nesting boxes that is a couple of feet off of the ground. Should I move her and the eggs to a better location?
I'm in love with the coloring of these chickens. My camera doesn't do them justice. I bought two of them from my local feed store. I believe they use Ideal Poultry. They are 11 weeks old.
I was watching this one tonight because "she" was harassing everyone. That's when I noticed that her comb is redder than the others. My only EE so I don't have another to compare to. Thoughts on pullet or cockerel?
