Yesterday when dh and I put the eggs on lockdown, I just know I saw one egg move slightly...then I waited and it did it again. Is it possible for eggs to hatch a day or 2 early?? I was not able to check the eggs this morning....was running behind schedule for work.
I found out yesterday that my white Ply. Rock lays very light beige eggs.....NOT white like I thought. Hmmm...just when you think you know, you find out you don't .....lol.... So that earlobe thing doesn't work for all chickens, eh? And here I was thinking my Dominique had a few 2-egg days.......
My hens have been laying a good amount of eggs this week, but none of seems to be setting? How can I encourage them? Or do they just go broody when they're ready?
I have 2 that sing the egg song so loudy, but hasn't laid one single egg.(for a couple weeks now) They're almost 9 months old. Has anyone else have/had this problem?
I have a White Ply. Rock cockerel and a white Leghorn pullet that I want to cross- breed eventually.....Has anyone done this type of crossing? What were the results?
After months of not laying, one of my leghorns decides to lay Saturday! My neighbor who was predator-proofing our coop found it. I didn't believe him at first...I had been so frustrated that I wasn't getting eggs from any of them. Then late yesterday right at dusk, I found another one in the...
My roosters were showing much interest in my leghorns today. Two different rooster mated with 2 of them. Does that mean the leghorn pullets will start laying soon?
My rooster doesn't show interest in any of the hens and pullets I have(15). He'll dance around a little, but that's about it. Do they go through a phase as well? Has the cooler weather affected his mating habits?
