    Questions about hatching eggs.

    Questions about hatching eggs.

    I wasn't sure so I put it back with momma hen and she pecked it if it got to close to her and the other eggs. Do you think she doesn't want her because I held her to much? Or is this normal for a momma hen to abandon a chick? (She is a first time brooder).. i have her in a box in my room with...

    On the nest

    I'm still new, but I think your hen is broody. I've heard that not all hens have that "gene" but I have one that broods and she does it off and one for about a month at a time. Sorry if I'm not much help, but I thought I'd tell you what I do know. Good Luck

    Questions about hatching eggs.

    It's been a year since we got our chickens and I am attempting to hatch eggs since we have one brooding hen. Plus our rooster is an Easter Egger so I'm hoping that the chicks we get from the hens will lay colored eggs once they are grown. So roughly two weeks ago, I left two eggs under my...

    Is my Easter Egger a Rooster or hen?

    Besides the coloring, it looks similar to my rooster, he holds his tail like yours does. I think mine started crowing about two months in, but that was after I played him the sound of another rooster crowing... I'm still knew but just thought I'd give you my two cents!
