Thanks for your advice! It does happen to be a silkie, I have 34 birds too many roosters atm and I am getting rid of them and attempting to restore the peace that once was in my coop - but I would like her (the broodie silkie) to have peace and comfort and see what happens!

Hi! I have a broody hen sitting on eggs and I want to remove her from the flock, along with her eggs. Is there anything I should know prior to doing this? Will it matter to her if I handle her eggs? Thanks!

Also thanks for that link Happy Chooks!

that is about the time my chicks would have hatched too! It IS so exciting and I ate it last night - was the best egg I ever tasted!

Thanks for the advice! This is my first go as a chicken owner - I love them to bits and have had them since August, they have been mating for a bit now - but no eggs until today (so exciting!) there is so much to learn. Guess I can go make a sandwich with today's prize?

I am wondering - this egg I found today in the coop (our VERY first one!!) may or may not be fertilized, can I/should I incubate it? Side note it may have been in the cold for an hour or more before I found it.

Hi, very excited we found our first egg today - now what? We have a mix of roosters and hens, is this most likely a fertilized egg? (help!)

Thanks for all the great ideas Hokum Coco! I will need to try some of them out, I love new ideas and things to try. Keeping chickens is a wonderful learning experience. I see now too now heat needed Thanks again to all who responded, this is a great community!

Thanks! :)
