    Dead chick and broody hens fighting and bloody

    I have 3 broody (1 silkie and 2 silkie-serama mix) hens sitting on and hatching eggs in 2 nesting boxes. All was going great till just now. My daughter just found a dead newly hatched chick out of the box and 2 of the three hens fighting. The last time we checked the chick was hatching along...

    American serama thread!

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, if it's not I apologize. Last summer, for girl scouts, my daughter hatched some Serama eggs. We currently have 8 including 2 cockrels. We've decided we need to downsize due to lack of space and too much crowing. They are...

    Not till she's big enough to fend for herself. My daughter would never let me do it now anyway. She loves her new roommate.

    3 broody chickens sitting on a nest with one egg. I guess it was too crowded so the egg was pushed out. It was very cold when we found it. Didn't think it would make it but we stuck it in the incubator. It hatched today!

    My lone rescued chickie egg had a small pip late last night. Still looks the same this morning. Hurry up chickie. I'm not good at waiting.

    Funny, since we rescued the egg that was pushed off the nest we didn't know a hatch date. My daughter and I decided to candle today. She picked up the egg to candle and it peeped. She was so excited! Her smile was great. Hoping to have a chicken soon.

    "Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

    We had 3 chickens (1 Serama and 2 Silkies) all broody and sitting on one little egg at the same time. That's right, 3 chickens squeezed into 1 small basket. Well, they pushed it out of the nest and it was cold when we found it. We brought it in the house and candled it and it's still alive...

    It's hard hatching an egg you rescued from a hen. No idea when it will hatch. Soon I think.

    Looks like we're joining in the Hatch-a-Long. One lonely egg that my Silkie pushed out of the nest. I guess the nest was too crowded with 3 broody hens on 1 egg. I hope this chick makes it since our last one was fully formed but never made any effort to get out of it's shell.
