First experience with a broody here. I have a hen who has been off and on sitting for about 2 weeks. The last 4 days she hasn't left her eggs. I Jay checked 2 eggs. 1 was 3/4 the way while the other I could still see a yolk and lots of white area. I only checked 2 bc I didn't want to bother...
I recently ordered some chicks. Lost 4 the first night 1 within a week to what I was told was wry neck, only lived 5 days after becoming weak. Now I have another I noticed was weak picked it up to the waterer. While in my hand it pooped what appeared to be plain water that was really hot ...
I bought most of my new chicks as straight run. Completely lucked out on the Americana only 1 cockerel and 4 pullets. Other breeds RIR(4 to 1) and barred rocks(3 to 1). I know that's too many fellas. My question is will they stay as friendly as they are now or get more aggressive with maturity...

So these little cuties I was sure were japanese bantams are not :th... I can't seem to find a picture of any chick like these to even have an idea. Got them from a co-op in a mixed bantam assortment. Clean legs only 4 toes.

So I hit the jackpot today at tractor supply!!!! 3 Japanese bantams (I lost 1 :(), wyandotte maybe?, 1 grey, 1 black and some white silkies. I was wondering what the grey ones were if it was also a black and the lighter one would be a white. First 2 are the ones I'm questioning and also the last...
First chick that's mostly yellow with a little black on wing tips has REALLY short clean legs compared to the others that are her age... the last 2 are both feather footed. TIA
I have 1 chicken in my pen that's almost a year old. She has never had until today and I found 4 eggs in the coop! All my other chickens are less than 5 weeks old in the pen with her. My husband was just in the coop yesterday catching Pepper and this morning when I checked water there were no...
I picked up these super cute little bantams at TSC and would like some help finding out what they are. I've tried googling it and think I have an idea but want to be sure! TIA
