    Broody decided she’s done - left eggs - what now?

    I’ve posted to my state thread looking for an incubator to borrow but in the event I can’t get one? Long story short, 12 eggs candled last weekend all looked viable - 10 looked to have a week or so left. (They’re various silkie x bantam crosses so about 19 day incubation). 2 are much much...

    Help! Pullets kept broody off her eggs for 5-6 hours (day 6)

    We got our extremely broody silkie some fertile eggs to hatch. She sat on them like a champ for 4 days. Then we introduced some new pullets into the run and long story short, when the silkie goes out for her feed and exercise the pullets all run into her box and hide there. When she comes back...

    ISO Bantams (eggs) in MA (not picky about breed)

    I'm looking for 4-6 eggs for my broody banty to hatch. We're not picky about breed, barnyard cross is fine, as long as they're really bantams (loooooong story). I'm in central MA, but I'm happy to drive almost anywhere in the state to pick up. Thanks! (cross posted in MA thread)

    6 week bantams - breed and sex help needed

    I have eight bantam chicks. Five are clearly silkies and I've resigned myself to waiting on them to figure out who's who. However, the other three chicks are an all around mystery. The woman I purchased the eggs from breeds silkies, old english game birds, and mille fleur d'uccles. These three...

    Back in the Chicken Game (now in MA)!

    Hi Folks. After a nearly ten year absence, I'm back to having birds. I live in central Massachusetts and have three bantam hens in our backyard. Two are "barnyard cross" one of whom lays lovely blue eggs! Right now one of them is broody (the white egged sister). We live in town so we're not...
