Quote: What did you order?

Nice brooder!

I have eaten their eggs while they're on medicated food and nothing happened.

Pullets

If you do get them some grit, just make sure their brooder is big enough for all of them!

YAY!!!!

If you have a hen that is supposed to go broody a lot, sometimes leaving eggs in a nest is enough to do the trick

I'm going to say no... But I'm not an expert by any means.

Oh....

Depending on how hot your weather is, 3-4 days maybe. If I forget for more than a couple days I usually float them in water to see if they're ok to eat.

Quote: In all the years I kept chickens, I have never, ever, seen a rooster "tidy a nest". All the rest, yeah, they do that, but where did you get that from? I've seen many a rooster make nests for his girls

I just thought I'd share my chick names, this is the first time I can tell every chick apart so I'm excited! I have an EE named Willamina, 3 Black sex-links named Goldie, Gretel, and Barnes (my boyfriend named that one.) and 3 red sex-links named Noble (to go with Barnes) Rosie and Sunshine.

I doubt they're laying yet, but they're close. Do they squat when you pet them?

I'd wait for them to drink all the antibiotic and then deworm

She'll more than likely poop it out. I don't think it would hurt her.

It's not possible, one of your hens just laid a fart egg.
