    Help me ID the breeds of my babies, please!

    Hi! So, I’m still relatively new to BYC. My broody is on her second clutch, and I have successfully raised the 1 surviving chick from her 1st clutch with 5 out of the 6 chicks that I bought from tractor supply to keep the one chick company. But, now I’m curious as to what breeds they all are...

    Why is my broody (or previously broody) hen following me?

    My hen, Tiffany, who I had a very close bond with prior to her becoming broody, is now following me around my yard. She still pecks me when I try to pet her, but she’s following me everywhere. She recently had a clutch of 7 eggs from which I only 1 chick survived hatching. I pulled this chick...

    Only 1 chick survived the hatch. Started with 9. 7 were alive day 21 (yesterday). All but 1 does. What in the world happened? I seriously might cry.

    We started with 9 eggs. 1 was infertile. 1 developed a blood ring in week 2. 4 hatched yesterday. 3 died. 3 eggs remained this morning. I came to check on them an hour afternlast check (didn’t touch, just listened) and they were all dead. No peeping, no movement, nothing. My broody then started...

    mid hatch death? 3 hatched, 4 stopped progressing. What’s going on?

    I have 7 eggs. 3 hatched today— day 21. But the other 4 just stopped. No pips, peeps, movement, nothing since approximately 12-1pm. It’s 4:22pm now EST. Hatching with a broody. What could possibly be happening? Did they die??? What do I do? First time btw. Thanks in advance!
