@jeria chicken math = When I'm going to buy a small coop and 3 or 4 hens turns into 14 hens, 5 roos, 9 chicks in a brooder, and 14 eggs under 2 broodies with the addition of a 4x12 hoop coop, and 10x8 portion of the shed turned coop with 15x15 run attached.

Since my broody wouldn't take the incubator chicks I brought home I guess I'll let her do the work herself. Have a friend who lost 11 chickens in the flood we just had so I'm helping her up her flock and my brother is wanting some specific offspring and none of those hatched in the incubator...

@Crazy For Color that 2nd pic! Oh my goodness! What a cutie!

@1cock2hens it's mainly Facebook posts and messaging. Great for me because I don't particularly like talking on the phone either. :D The way we caught him was to get it back somewhat in place and opened the doors. He kept trying to run back to it. Got him in and then I was able to cage him...

Glad you all were safe. We had some roof damage and my small home built coop was moved and tweaked. The poor roo inside made it out unscathed somehow and was just wet and scared. Got him caught and contained. Just fixed his coop today. He's still skittish but I don't blame him. The new business...

Welcome to all the new peeps! I've been absent fie a while. This school year has about done me in. Between my son's activities and starting my own small business along with my full time job, I haven't done much recreational reading. Going to try to give myself a set amount of time to do just...

Yes, let them out about 5:30. Went to close the run about 7:30 and she wasn't in the coop. Can't find her anywhere.

My little polish hen is missing! :(

First wellie egg!

Finally got a pic of my new wellie girl, Freya.

I get my wellie hen tomorrow!!!!

If you can, separate the ones you know he's mating with and gather their eggs only for hatching and use the rest for eating.

They could be all right. They might hatch a little later so be prepared if she leaves the nest before they all hatch.

Just checked on them and pulled out all the empty shells. Looks like all 11 hatched and are the cutest little fluffy things.

We have babies this morning!

First family photo

4 little fluffs stuck their heads out when I checked this morning. They aren't even due until tomorrow but with bantam eggs you never know when they'll start. :D Can't wait until she gets up and I can see how many hatched.

It has begun! I heard a tiny peep when I checked on momma at bed time!

Yay @randiferina!

Broody #1 on day 18...lockdown day! All bantam eggs so will likely have babies tomorrow or Wednesday.
