Even Funnier, I just found egg number 2 today, so from another hen, in the other corner of the floor of the coop! EEERRRRR

I have plastic nests in the boxes, read that they are easier to keep clean... I just put some hay on top of that. I hope that will entice them to enter the boxes to lay.... Will keep you posted.

Why Would my one hen that is laying start laying on the floor of the coop instead of in one of the ten nice nesting boxes on the wall? I even have golf balls in them!! Any suggestions? Is this hen just confused?

One of my girls just layed her first egg. My kids are so excited!! One girl laying 16 more to go!

Well it is morning, he doesnt look much better but he is alive with his head up! THat has to be good right?

How long would you raise a white leg horn roo before processing him?

I have done one hatch and am in the middle of my second. With both I have had a chicks hatch on day 19 and chicks hatch on day 20. THe rest on day 21. Very fun to watch!

Well the little booger is still alive. He is looking alot better, drying up. He is very week and can barely lift his head, even this long after hatch. He has a loud chirp though and manages to "propel" himself around the brooder by flopping in circles. If he makes it through the night my...

What do you mean, "not a chance?"

OK, a few hours after hatch. Seems that (s)he has a small yolk sack still attached. Eyes have shrunk a bit. However, it just lies on its side and breaths heavy.... Here are some pics.

I am gonna let it dry, Nature will choose. Will not hurt anything to wait and watch. THe eyes are freaky though. Alien part 5.

Chick is out finally. Looks really underdeveloped. Eyes are like too big and buggy and the wings are super small..... I placed it in the brooder under the heater.

chick stopped bleeding from the pip hole for a while, but just started and stopped again. About a half of a teaspoon of red-brown liquid. (s)he is about 3/4 unzipped and progressing!

ok, thanks! I have only hatched about a dozen eggs, but have never seen one bleed like that! Scary! Thanks again, Billy

I just had a chick pip and there is good amount of blood that oozed out of the pip hole. Is that normal? What should I do?

Yeah, I realized that after I made the post, I did post it in the other thread. Thanks though!

I pastor a small country church in Vermont. I live just below the church and in the middle is the cemetery. It is really really really old! People buried there back in the 1700's. I dont think any one is buried on the parsonage land though! In the Cemetery there are several people who...

THanks alot for the photo. None of my chicks look like that thank goodness!!!! This forum and the people on it are great! Thanks!

I have a quick question for all of you coop building experts out there. I have recently completed the building of my first Chicken coop and I have a couple of months before I have to have the nests installed. My question is, at what height should I install them? How high is too high, or how...
