Thanks, I'll do that and see if it helps....

Yup, they are free range, car did not drive into the coop ;)... Already tried keeping them in for a day, no eggs.... All six hens stopped at once, very strange....

A car got him! He was an extremely aggressive rooster, very protective of his hens.....

Rooster killed now all of my hens have stopped laying. Has anyone ever heard of this???Is it a huge coincidence? Thanks

Will do....I am on day 22... When would you recommend floating them?

Float test ?? I buried them in the garden two days ago. What is the float test? It may come in handy for these last two eggs I have in the incubator ( day 22) ......thnx P.S.The mirror is brilliant!

So, 10 eggs in, one chick out! Very disappointing!.....Now I have an only chick who is very needy ;\.... Darla chirps constantly. I have to hold her or keep my hand in the box to keep her quiet. I have two eggs in the incubator, due to hatch yesterday. One egg bounced around a couple of times...

I adopted an adult rooster ( approx 1&1/2 yrs) I did so because I have a very broody hen..He has been with me for over a month and I have not seen him mount any of the hens. My broody hen was sitting for 10 days, I just checked her eggs two days ago, not one was fertile.....Can a Roo be a dud??

De-beaked, you're not kidding!....Who ever does the trimming at this hatchery needs a refresher course.....

Thanks, I'll get some pellets and see how that works for them....

My chickens love, love, love, roasted unsalted sunflower seeds...they run ( very fun to watch) all the way across our very big yard when I shake the container. Even when I can't see them, they come running at the sound.... They also love worms from the garden...
