After worrying they might not hatch, 3 chicks have hatched today 😊 Anxiously waiting for more. I think we have a staged hatch, when is best to moved unhatched eggs into incubator?
Yes her nest was accessible to 4 other hens, we moved her to a new coop approx 14 days after sitting on them. I have the incubator ready if needed 😊 I think we are on day 26 and still nothing!
How many days did it take for them to hatch? I have a hen sitting on 14 eggs for approx 25 days but nothing has happened. Candled at 18 days and I’m sure they looked how they where meant to!
First timer 😊
My hen is broody and sitting on 14 eggs, I think noticed her 23 days ago. I have moved her to a separate coop and candled at approx 18 days (dark with air line at the bottom) I’m unsure how many days she has been “incubating” them. What shall I do?, how long shall I wait? Will they hatch

Help! I have just moved my 10 day old chicks into this, their old brooder got to small! They keep eating sawdust and flying round will they end up hurting themselves??
I have got 2 10 day Bluebelles coming tomorrow I will introduce them slowly. I will be adding 2 Silkies when they are around 14 weeks but I can keep them separate for a while. I'm sticking at 6 I promise
Hi I'm a newbie.
Can anyone give me some help and guidance on this. I am thinking of getting 2 chicks at a time probably 6 months apart, do you think this would be a good idea?
A few people mentioned a new chick might get picked on but if I introduce 2 at a time this might not happen?
Help...
Can anyone help with sexing my chick on the left we think he/she is a white sussex crossed with a leghorn. 5 days old (that's what I was told anyway). Let me know if you want any better pictures
