Thanks. I don't have an incubator. :( The chick is very active. I have situated the egg as best as I can to prevent crushing. All I can do is pray now.

Today is expected hatching day for one of my hens and 5 eggs. I have one pipping nicely. I have found this one however. I don't know for sure what happened to it. I made the rookie mistake of not moving Chili when she decided to sit. So other hens will get in her nest to lay when she leaves to...

Awwwwww!

"Mom, can we go visit Roger?" I don't know, why do you want to do that? "Cause Roger said she knows special things we can do that will change your life. We think it's good things." Hmm, I'll think about it.

Our Tractor Supply has them, but they are .49 each! Way too much! I thought they were a lot cheaper there, but when I looked it up online, that was the price. hmmm

Have you tried putting fake eggs in the nesting boxes to lure her to laying there? I have golf balls and a few wooden eggs in mine.

Yeah, what Kelsie said. I would add this...since she may be trying to add eggs in, I would mark the ones that she already has so that you know if she gets any new ones. Then those can be removed.

I plan to leave my fake eggs in. One of the purposes of the fakes is so that if the chickens try to peck at them, they find it's not food. Maybe they aren't pecking at their own eggs now, but if one becomes curious later, you will still have those fakes to turn them off. Just make sure you are...

My 17 week old RIR tried to crow on Saturday. I only heard him one time and not since. He sounded a lot like yours. So cute!

That's what I was thinking.

Yes, she is a big girl! Now, I just need her and the others to catch up to the 16 and 17 week old RIRs, BOs and BRs. They jump them every time I try to let them be together. The little girls are in their own "Mini-cooper" with a dog kennel for a run...all inside of the big run.

Yay!

Oh, Nala is beautiful. Izzy is my favorite. Just love her colors and patterns.

Thank you everyone! I knew the patterns looked like girls, but was a little worried about Izzy...and she's my favorite! I also worried about Poof because of the black spots. Thanks for making me feel better about them all. I don't want to give up any of my EEs. I've already had a RIR that turned...

Awesome! But, poor girl!

Hi Everyone! My EEs will be 11 weeks old on Tuesday, the 7th. They should be old enough to tell the sex. I would appreciate your opinions! Thanks! Freckles: Izzy: Poof: Has 2-3 black spots, you can see one on the left shoulder. Repecka: Please excuse the...

Congrats Amyhill and Karhernandez!

Congrats!

RIRs- 16 1/2 weeks, BOs and BRs- 15 1/2 weeks. They've had a lot of wattle/comb growth and a few are getting very red. I had one squat some yesterday. My RIR rooster crowed for the first time this morning! (well first I have heard) I'm sure I have a few weeks to go, but I am so anxious! The...

I have 3 RIRs that are 16 weeks, 4 BO and 4 BR that are 15 weeks. (and 4 10 week old EEs) The BRs are getting very red wattles and combs. I opened up the nesting box area and put golf balls and wooden eggs in them. Today I found a couple BR feathers in the nesting box, so I know they are...
