    Is the tan multicolor hen a Welsummer?

    thank you. I have ameraucanas and rhode islands and barred plymouth rock and some others I am not sure of. I am looking to get some French black copper marans this spring. I want the dark dark eggs to add to my pretty variety.

    No feathered legs. I have a pair of them I got at an auction. They are very pretty with the variegated coloring.

    hatching eggs

    I have some silkie eggs in an incubator. I marked them with the dates they were laid. 9/8, 9/13, and 9/16. I thought the one from 9/8 should have hatched on 9/29. It did not hatch yet. I did the float test today and it passed with about 10% floating. Does the 21 start from the day the egg is...

    How long before a broody hen will lay eggs again?

    How long before a broody hen will lay eggs again?

    I had a broody silky hen that hatched an egg August 14th. She is a great mother. She has not started laying again yet. I think she is too busy being a great mom.
