I just recently bought a new cochin hen and her old owner that had her told me she was laying almost everyday she had 13 eggs! It's been almost a week since I got her and I've yet to see a egg!! Could it be cuz their coop and run are almost in all shade all day long now!?? I mean it's not...
My oegb hen went broody on 12 eggs and it's been 2 days after due date for babies to hatch but none hatched!!! The hen is still sitting on the eggs but I'm afraid no babies will be born!! :( would it be smart to buy some babies and sneak them under at night??? Plz help??? I was hoping for babies...
So my friend just have me a bunch of pallets and I'm thinking of just taking them apart and making a nice sized coop?? Anyone build one?? Pics plz???? I need some Ideas
Just went I was starting to get anxious about my little hens laying eggs , today when I least expected I found a little tiny egg in one of the nest!!! I'm Soo happy finally!!
She's about 1 1/2 now.. And so far she already has about 9 eggs in her Nest and I've seen her recently spending more time in the nest and pulling in hay and sticks .could she be going broody soon? ( she was hatched by a hen not incubator..?? Thanks
