momma's new babies, but its been 2 days and one egg hasn't hatched. getting her some foster babies today, but do you think the eggs can still hatch if she stays on it?
my momma hen sat on 7 eggs, 3 have hatched and 3 eggs were no good, I removed the bad eggs, since she still has one good egg under her can I give her 3 new babies to replace the bad eggs. was going to do this at night while she's asleep.
I had a hen go broody, she only had one egg but we decided to let her hatch it, hope she will be a great mommy. with only one to watch hopefully she will do well.
I have a coope marran roo who has been acting sick for a week now. He has a mattd eye and sound sneezy, I have been giving antibiotics. but he doesn't seem to be getting better. he's very sleepy acting and doesn't crow. does it just take time for the meds to work? I also always put apple cider...
unsure if these are barred rocks. cannot tell if they are girls either hoping they are
They are about 4 months old. Not sure what breed the little orange and white one is either but pretty sure she's a girl.
