    No more rooster :(

    Our beloved rooster was taken by a predator yesterday morning. He was great with the "girls" and was very gentle and friendly with us. The hens seem lost now. My question is--should we rehome them to a place that has a rooster? Or keep them? They are on the older side but still laying and...

    Hatched egg from our Hen!

    We have a broody hen but didn't really pay much attention because we've never had luck with hatching. Well, I opened the coop today and SURPRISE---I found a baby chick! I'm thinking he was hatched last night, as he's fuzzy and walking around. As soon as she saw me she hid him under her...

    Chick with deformed feet

    Chicks aren't breaking through egg--day 22

    She (or he) made it! I have been so worried that it would suffocate. It looks healthy, still wobbling around and there are two others who have broken through their shells so we should have 2 more in a day or so. My daugher is so excited (as am I). She said she can't wait to be a "mommy"!!

    Chicks aren't breaking through egg--day 22

    Hello! I'm new to all this so I apologize if I don't know all the terminology yet. Day 21 was yesterday, and a few of my eggs are moving. It's now day 22 and they still haven't broken through the shell. Should I give it more time? Should I try to feed more water through the incubator to...
