    Chicken Swaps Of Nh ( May Listings )

    Does anyone have some fertile eggs I can come up and buy today (within 1/2 hour or so of Nashua)? (preferably EE or Maran). I have a very broody hen who might as well be sitting on some eggs that will actually hatch!!!! It has been three days now, and she just isn't going to give up, lol!--Gail

    Broody hen won't leave the infertile eggs...

    I guess I want to do whatever will make her stop being broody the fastest! If hatching chicks will do it, then that's fine! If I take her away and she's just going to keep going broody, then she'll drive me nuts! I guess my maternal instincts are making me sympathetic!!!!

    Broody hen won't leave the infertile eggs...

    All 5 of my hens seem to want to lay their eggs in the same box...the one that my one broody hen has claimed for her own. I've barely been able to snatch the eggs out from under her the last three days (she is NOT pleased with me). Should I try to find some fertile eggs to put under her, and...

    What is up with these messy hens?

    Mine do this with their feed. I suppose in our case it is more natural for them to like feed on the ground than in a feeder. As far as your nesting box goes, that's interesting! Maybe they are decorating!?

    Frizzle Gender?

    I was pretty sure this little red frizzle (about 16 weeks) was a girl, starting to mature, until I heard what I fear was a "cock-a-doodle-doo!" today. Does she look like a HE to you???

    My hens started eating their eggs!

    I should add that the day before, I opened the egg door to find my best EE squatting above her beautiful egg and the egg-eater with her claw around the egg, trying to grab it out from under her!!!!! (I grabbed it back)

    My hens started eating their eggs!

    In another thread someone suggested putting some golf balls in the nesting boxes. The theory is that the egg eater will try pecking at it (unsuccessfully, of course), and that will discourage her from pecking at the actual eggs. I put out golf balls five days ago and I've gone from 1-2 eggs...
