    I am so so so so disappointed.

    As many of you know I have my first ever broody, and out of all my hens the only. Well, no longer. This afternoon my daughter and were back there doing chores and she wanted to get out of the little coop as I could see her at the door. So I said oh maybe she just wants to scratch a little and...

    Another broody hatching question please?

    As most of you know (because I can't stop talking about it) I have my first time broody ever and the hatch is due this weekend. When I went out to collect eggs a little while ago she was actually off the nest so I looked in and can't really see the eggs, it looks like they are all buried in the...

    What is the percentage of hatches for a broody?

    Weird question, I had someone come and buy some hatching eggs from me yesterday who always do an incubator even though they have a couple of broody hens. They told me that the hatching rate of eggs in a broodys nest is around 30%??? I told them she is sitting on 16 eggs, of course I am sure...

    How much to sell hatching eggs for?

    These would be mixed breed large brown egg layers. I am assuming I sell them for the same price that I sell them for eating? I was talking with a friend and she told me no that fertile eggs sell for more? I can't keep an eye on my rooster every minute of the day but he gets around I will say...

    I love my clothesline!

    How many hang their clothes out the old fashioned way when weather permits? I just had a new one put up, the other rope had to be about 10 years old. I basically hang my clothes out from April until October/November depending on weather and it sure save on my electric bill. I know there are...

    The little broody coop stinks.

    I just went out to collect eggs and checked on my broody who is separate in her own little dog coop. I has two doors and one has screen on it which I have removed the plastic for the warmer weather. So plenty of ventilation. When I opened the side door the smell was awful! It was very warm today...

    I knew I would come home with something.

    Went to a chicken show today and came home with a trio of black bantam cochins. The hens and the roosters have different mothers and are about 3 1/2 months old. I usually only go for standards but the price was right. She had the hens separate from the rooster priced for sale. Well I bought the...

    Hi everyone! Well I had my shoulder surgery and am on the road to recovery and just about all done with that. It has been great being home but could have done without the surgery! Do not want to go back to work and I wish I never had to work another day in my life. Then of course my computer...

    Calling Speckled Hen again.

    Cynthia I think it was you that suggested using bicycle inner tubes to cover like cracks or openings in a coop. I need to know, once you cut them how wide are they are will they tend to curl seeing as they were round to begin with? I have two small doors that were cut into two dog houses on the...
