So here it is! Lucy, my Americana hen laid the 1st egg! The whole hen house including the rooster were cheering her on! Wow! That was fun!!! :) I put up these pretty lace curtains yesterday so that must have done the trick.... lol!
So.... I am waiting for the 1st egg.... chickens are 18 & 19 weeks old... this afternoon my Americana hen was sitting in the nest box.... & the rooster was serenading her..... & all the other hens came running into the coop doing the egg laying song..... I was laughing so hard.... (not in...
I was mowing & ran over a California Quail nest..... killed the mom now I have 11 eggs. When I candle them.... if I am doing it right.... they are completely full.... maybe ready to hatch soon? how can I save them?

Her feathers look exactly the same as my other RIR that is the same age.... but her comb & waddle have always been bigger.
Thank you in advance! :)
I am new to chickens.... I have 7 pullets 17 & 18 weeks old. 1 rooster.... thought it was a pullet. now I am not sure if I should keep him or get rid of him.... one way or another.... lol! 1st choice would be to re home him he is a beautiful light brahma. Thanks you in advance for any advice!
