    All my marans eggs have a blood spots, what the heck?

    I got Black Copper Marans chicks from a breeder this spring. It's my first time with this breed. Only 3 turned out to be pullets and they just started laying. So far MOST of them have had blood spots in their eggs. I won't be able to sell these eggs. I'm really bummed because they are such...

    How many eggs can I put under a broody hen?

    I can get a dozen fertile eggs but is that too many under my Buff Orpington, especially if it's a fall hatch? I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of that many. What happens when the weather gets cold? What do you think.

    Sissy rooster runs from the hens

    I kept one nice looking big blue Ameraucana rooster from this spring's hatch to breed to my Ameraucanas and EEs. The problem is that he is so low on the pecking order that I'm afraid that he'll never breed my hens. Even though he's bigger than everyone else, he's chased around and is even too...

    Should I throw it out?

    I set 3 eggs under a broody hen on May 8th and they were due last Sunday, the 29th. I candled them the week before and had one definately good, one questionable (there was veining but didn't seem very far along) and one definitely unfertile. The unfertile one is gone, the good one hatched on...

    Broody Violet wants to be a mama... in DECEMBER!

    This is Broody Violet... I have never hatched out eggs before but she's been determined for over 3 weeks now. I'm thinking about giving in and getting her some eggs, but I'm not sure about doing it in December... in Ohio! She's a BO, but I think I'd rather have more EEs or maybe even some...

    Did I just make a big mistake?

    So one of my 8 pullets surprised me and laid an egg the other day and I had to hurry up and put a nest box up for them. I didn't have any golf balls, so before I left that morning, I hard boiled a store bought egg and put it in the box. Came home that afternoon and it was gone... I'm sure they...

    I got an egg! I got an egg! Woo-Hoo!

    Yesterday afternoon, I went out to the coop and one of my EE left me a little blue present! It's so egg-citing! I'm pretty sure it was Rachel. She was pretty proud of herself and the others were so jealous!
