Just to add to the confusion.. the DE I am speaking of is the FOOD GRADE DE....not the other DE which you can't eat and is not a good thing if you get it into your lungs...

These little ladies are not leaving. I am expanding my flock though...srry ladies are staying with us.

Some people do ...I just choose not to...it taste like chalk...literally It is but it taste like ...well...chalk gets rid of worms too....Way back in the day ....Thanx Grandma...it works but. ugh

...Male ostriches set on nest not the mama..... so you might want to look that up but dada does the setting and they are highly aggressive and protective at the job too......even to their mates....has he built a nest? Any deep dark Emerald green large eggs?

No food grade can be eaten by animals ..I get food grade for all my friends...it helps with internal creepy stuff too...

Yeah... about...I added lights to the end of our days so my roo stays on to the twilight which is pretty constant in the mornings. I have lights out consistently where they roost...our lights can be on but not theirs or they think its time to get up again

oops....been there done that...lol...I had to use a Spray bottle with water and lightly mist the ground...another layer of bedding on top...do not add anymore DE to this layer. At least you won't have to clean the coop for a while...and any creepy crawlies won't survive.

It getting to be winter and molting will cause hens to drop egg production. Unless of course the others are sharing the nest with the broody. In that case that is where those missing eggs could be. I have two hens that share nest.

Sounds like two of them are the low on the pecking order and found some common grow on their own...

Our roo Don has not set on the nest. But on occasions when Tutu gets off to go take a break in the morning and stretch her wings - he pops into the nest to make noises and look at how things are going. Then he goes to the porch and crows like a nut...

Sounds like your broody ate the chick. I don't know why but sometimes I think they think the chicks are mice.... they will eat the shell and all too. Keep an eye on her or the other hen for the bad habit of eating eggs since now they may have 'learned' to associate eggs with a full crop. I...

When do you notice that you will find these eggs out of her 'heating area' is it in the morning or afternoon? We have been watching our broody doing the same thing. We started to mark the egg and date them with pencils. It turns out that when they push them out of her setting area she...

Wow a lot of consistent information. I figured what grandma did never really went out as an old wives tale...I haven't washed my eggs even if they are dusty I just dry wipe like grandma and pop them in the bowl.......on the counter they go just like the old days...thanx
