    Concrete block chicken coop

    I am fairly new to chickens, it will be three years in June. I don't ever see myself without them now. I see so many wooden coops but none made out of concrete blocks. Is this just a cost factor or is there another reason or two? Would it be to hot for the chickens?

    Candling 10 day old eggs

    I have five 10 day old Sultan eggs that I candled, they all have the spider web look with half of the egg being dark. From what I can see this is normal. When I rotate the egg the dark fluid rolls or real slowly moves in the egg, is this normal or should it be fairly stationary in the egg? Thanks

    Adding store bought chicks to new born chicks?

    Has anyone ever added a few store bought chicks to a bunch of new born chicks by a broody hen? I have a hen that has three two day old chicks, I was hoping to raise six new chicks in this hatch. Do you think I could slip a few chicks under her at night if they were about the same size? Thanks
