My broody has hatched 6 out of 10 eggs, and has now got up and left the nest.. but one has started to hatch and she won't go sit back on it.. I figure I have a few options.. leave it to die, try and scoop her back on, which i did but within minutes she was off and showing her others how to fed...
I hope someone can tell me if this is possible.. one of my broodies hatched out her chicks.. when I went into see her she flew out of the box at me and in the process dragged an only just hatched chick out with her, it still had a small bit of shell on it and was still wet.. I popped it back...
Sorry if the answer to this is somehwere but I have looked and can't find.. Do hens stop laying eggs in the Autumn and then start again in the spring or will I get eggs all year round.
I have 5.... 2 day old Wyandotte chicks.. all of them seemed to be drinking and pecking food.. this morning one was dead... tonight I find down the side of the brooder a huge wasp.. could this have stung the chick and killed it? I am in the UK and it wasn't a hornet, just a common wasp. As I am...
