Hello, I'm looking to start showing ,but I'm not 100% positive on what breed to order for hatching eggs. I've been thinking of White Leghorns and Delawares. WHat breed have you had success with or found easy?
A couple months ago I went out of town and left 2 chicks in a cardboard box with all things they need for a while ,but on the 2nd night things went pretty bad. I had a clip-on lap with a infrared light and at the bottom of the box was wood chips. That night the lamp fell and it was so hot it...
This is the first time I've had a hen go broody and set on some eggs for 20 days and I know their fertile and I heard chicks hatch at 21, which is tomorrow;I have no idea what to do, so here's my questions.
1. How do I know when they hatch
2. What do I do when they hatch
3. Do I take the chicks...
I have one hen that's like the mama bird to all the eggs , but she has never really sat on any until now. She's been sitting on some eggs for about 16 days now and I think it would be a waste to wait 21 days and have nothing happen.Can she tell if they're fertile?(I don't even think half of them...
