We have a couple questions. Will fake eggs cause hens to become broody?
Number 2 is If I want 2 of my broody hens to mother my new chicks should I leave the hens with all the others or should I move my broody hens to their own pen?
I have 4 RIR,4 gold laced wyandotts, 4 australorps, 4buff Os 4 EE and 2 barred rock and 2 welsemers. We are looking for another 6-12 to add to the flock. We want nice looking breeds that lay well. Around here if you dont lay you dont stay.
I'm introducing myself, I am Trever and my wife Stacie and we just started our flock of 24 hens. a mixed bag and always looking to add new . We are from Cougar WA. We look forward to the communication with others about our birds.
I have a flock of 24 total with 4 EEs. The first 3 eggs Igot were a pale green and havent had another for a month. But I have had lots of pink ones. They either changed colors or quit laying.
