One of my second year broody hens lost her baby today :( (I have a good idea a snake got the baby) Well, my question is: Mommy hen seems to know her baby is gone and seems sad (understandable) how long till she's back to her normal self? Her chick was almost 6 weeks old. She's eating and...

I started incubating several eggs starting April 28 and 29th. Two of my eggs were infertile when I candled them on the 7th day. But most of them looked as though that came all the way through the 2nd or 3rd day and had blood veins starting but were no where near the state they should have been...

I have seven hens and one roster, I've been feeding them just plane chicken scratch from Southern States. But recently I read that sunflower seed are a good source of protein for them, so I started adding some to the scratch I feed them. They also get let out of their run every other day to eat...
