    Should i be worried about the other pipped eggs in the incubator? A freshly hatched chick is knocking into pipped eggs and turning them upside down. Will this cause a problem for the others to hatch?

    High nest

    I have a broody. Shes been sitting for 5 days now. I was wondering if its an issue that the nest is about 3 1/2 to 4 feet off the ground. Will the chicks be able to safely get to the ground with mom once they hatch? Do I have to build a ramp?

    Bare patches

    A number of my hens are missing a patch of feathers in the middle of their backs. I assumed it was the roosters getting a little ruff when they put their love on them but maybe they are getting pooped on at night when on the lower roost. Is this a common issue?

    Adding eggs to a broody

    I think another one of my hens is going broody as she decided to sleep in nesting box. I noticed it tonight and added some blue eggs I'd like to see hatch. It was a little chilly out today so I was wondering if they would still be viable since they were sitting out all day.
