    Bantam Cochin

    I am very confused on cochin growing times, some people say they fully grow in a year, some in two years.. Anyways anybody know when a bantam cochin would be fully grown, like laying eggs and going broody?

    Integrating chicks

    I just read the "integrating chicks at 4 weeks" and would love to try it, already have a perfect brooder built for that, but here's my dilemma, my hens are free range. As reading in the article it says they would not go in at dusk and that worries me they would not go in. I've integrated hens...

    Brooder Box Heat

    For my brooder box I have a heat lamp, or I could use something that would simulate a mother chick, like a heat mat or something of that sort. I've read that broody hen's chicks go broody more often. While chicks raised in a brooder box and heat lamp do not go broody as often. Any insight would...

    Confused on egg dates.

    When I candled my eggs two days ago (day 12) They looked a day or two behind. How could that have happened under a broody hen, she had been moved and a whole day to settle down. The next day I counted as her first day. Are bantam eggs different looking than standard eggs?

    Broody hens by breed?

    I have heard a lot that breed is a huge factor in broody hens. So, when you get a hen from a hatchery they have most likely made that hen one that will not likely become broody, because of egg laying reasons. I have a few hens that were raised by a friends hen, all of those hens have gone...

    Adopting chicks

    So my broody hen is on day 13, almost 14. Her eggs are due to hatch from the 24th to the 27th as they are bantam eggs and could hatch between 18-21 days. We are getting 12 hatchery chicks on the 22nd, which would probably be around the age of day 2. So the earliest the chicks would hatch under...

    Moving a Broody Hen

    Something got into our chicken tractor with our broody hen. Her and her eggs are thankfully safe but we are moving her tonight to a brooder box with a wood floor (with shavings). The chicken tractor has a grass area for her, the brooder box does not. Do you think she will settle down ok? Her...

    Broody OEGB

    So, I have an old English game bantam broody and is sitting on 11 eggs day 10! Eggs are healthy, hen healthy but when I went to do a once a week candle, she didn't peck me or really care I was taking eggs from her. She is in a chicken tractor separated from the flock. I am worried that because...
