Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me? This is my 2nd time hatching under a broody and am concerned. My last broody got off the nest for food and water everyday, my current broody hasn't moved off the nest since we put the eggs under her 4 days ago. Will she be ok if this continues or...

Hopefully if it is a boy ill be able to find him a loving home. I'm ok with the idea of food etc but is rather he didn't end up on a plate if it can be helped x

Any idea what gender they are? The will be 8weeks on Friday x

Have let them out and so far all seems well :-) x

The broody stayed with them until they were 5 weeks in a separate house with a run. The other hens can see the chicks in the run but they sleep in another house. Should I let them into the garden with the other 3 and see how it goes? I'm more worried abou next doors cat. The older ones chase...

I have one light sussex and 2 speckled sussex. 4 weeks old. When I looked at the wings at 2-3 days only I thought they were pullets but now I'm not so sure. Anyone more experienced able to tell from the photos. I can't seem to get a better one as they are very flighty and won't stay still x

Thank you this has helped so much. Ill open the run each day and if she comes out then ill leave her out. I have to shut it as the chicks too small to be with other two hens yet. I think one of them would be a bit too aggressive towards them x

She came out but has got back in with them. They don't seem ready for her to leave bless them. X
