hi,
I had 5 eggs under a broody hen and on day 20 she gave up!!! i know! im so upset at her :(
she had been off for a couple house the day before but then returned to the nest.
I candled the eggs and could see healthy blood veins, and they looked to be developing fairly correctly for the time...
Hey guys- my girl Sylvia seams to have a very pale face, it's almost yellowish and her comb is dry. it's been like it for a little while- we have had a small mite outbreak which we seam to have gotten on top of... I haven't noticed her laying either which adds more to my concern, we do work most...
My little girl Penny has a lump on her face- I noticed it 2 weeks ago and it hasn't really changed- she is still happy and talkative so she seams fine but I don't know if I need to do something for her and have no idea what it is??
She is a pekin bantam about 2 years old
Thanks in advance x...
Ok so I'm doing my second ever incubation- first one was not very successful, only 3 babies hatched after setting 36 eggs(20 weren't fertile).

I am hatching...

Will it make them go broody easier in the future?
Do I need to do...

Hi, my silver laced wyandotte, Pepper, has laid about 6 eggs now and all have had spots- what's going on? Should I be concerned? How can I help her? Thanks!!

We are starting to question if my Sussex is a hen or rooster- we brought her as a guaranteed hen she is approximately 25wks old- no laying or interest in laying boxes, no crowing but voice is deeper than the other girls I have.
