Hey all. I know this topic has nothing to do with chickens, but i need to know whether anyone out there has a solution for me. Ok. Here goes. I've got this friend who's birthday is tomorrow, so i decided to get her a $80 book. When i got home, I took of the plastic wrapping to take of the...
Hey all! My chick turned out all right. Another little one hatched while i was at school. No help. I feel pretty happy right now. New question though. I have 3 chicks now and if i put them in the same basket, the biggest tries to peck the middle aged one, and the middle one tries to peck the...

I've got these chickens, and recently, one of them laid up to 14 eggs in her next. However, she did not bother sitting on them. Does anyone know what's happening?
My father owns a farm and has some chickens on it. His chickens started laying eggs about a month ago. There is only one rooster in the pen. We recently started incubating eggs and have a good temperature and humidity on the bator.
However, we weren't really sure about the hatching period...
