    Our First Broody-Hatched Clutch!

    Hello all! Our girly just hatched 6/7 eggs (rejected the last one) and they’re up and walking about the coop. The other hens don’t seem to mind them and neither does the rooster, thank god!! My question is, our coop is raised off the ground by probably 2 feet or so with a ramp with small...

    First Broody Hen

    Hello, I’m sorry if this has been asked before. I have incubated eggs and candled them at the recommended periods. Do I need to do the same with the eggs my hen is hatching herself? This is both of our first times dealing with this so I’m wanting to make sure it goes as well as can be. Any...

    Tiny egg?

    Collected eggs today and noticed the little guy on the right in the nesting box? Could this have came from one of the hens or has another creature managed to lay in the coop? Has this happened to anyone else? I cracked it an it is looks a normal egg, just… tiny. I poked it (ha!) and it feels...

    My First Successful Hatch

    I posted sometime last month about having some trouble with an incubator that was loaned to me and ended up having to sadly dispose of the eggs I had been dutifully watching over. I’ve figured out the ins and outs of it and with success hatched a few chicks from my very own flock members! The...

    Previous Layer Not Laying but in Nesting Box

    I have a 2 year old Ameraucana who would leave me a pretty green egg each day. She hasn’t laid in about 4 days but I find her in the nesting box each day- but no egg. All of my other hens lay brown eggs so I’m not confusing her eggs for another or vice versa. I’ve had a broody hen and she’s not...

    Barnevelder or Australorp? Or other?

    Hello! First post here. I was given a rooster from a friend who had multiple different breeds. I thought it may have been an Australorp but it’s feathering looks more like a Barnevelder. Could it be a mix? Let me know! :D He’s my first rooster and is very kind to me and our 9 hens. EDIT: I...
