We fenced off a good sized area with food and water and moved her and her nest at night. She's back sitting on the nest now so I'm hoping she was just disgruntled with the move and need some 18 hours to adjust.

Thank you for your suggestion! I can do that. Definitely worth a try. When chicks are hatched, do I just then separate the hen and chicks from flock for a bit?

My hen had been broody for 4 days sitting in her regular nesting box on two infertile eggs. She came out for water in this 95 degree weather once a day and a dust bath and ran back in to get back to her nest. I got some fertile eggs, set up a brooding area for her to be separated, moved her...

Thank you!

I picked up eggs to incubate. my small incubator usually fits 9, but these are large eggs. I fit 8 in there but noticed by the second day that the automatic turner wasn't working. I figured out that the eggs were too tight in there for it to turn. I remedied be problem and they're turning now...

Are these EEs? I got them from assorted bantam bin. They're 7 weeks old now.

That's what I thought. I think it's just our most submissive rooster because the other two are barred the same but have larger combs and wattles.

Is there any hope for this one being a hen? She/he is 6 weeks old.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input. I should have opened the box and looked at them really well and I would have known. He barely opened the box and I saw the barring and thought I had what I wanted.

I bought three BR chicks from TSC in March. They're beautiful and healthy but looking to be all Roos. So local organic foods store had chicks for sale and advertised 3 BR pullets. I bought them but got home and checked them out and now I'm worried and confused. They're almost fully feathered...

The possibilities are Jersey Giant, RIR, Golden Laced Wayandotte, Barred Rock, Mottled Java and Production Red any mix of these.

I have a question about my chick. I hatched 7 chicks a little over three weeks ago. One chick was noticeably weaker and kept laying splayed out on her back and the others were pecking her. I separated her and I gave her sugar and vitamin water in a syringe for the first 24 hours and she...

I figured as much. Just wondered if anyone could tell any of the breeds in them.

Any insight on breed? Thanks in advance.

Will do! Thanks for your input!

Thank you. I've seen a few ways of doing it. I've just seen on this site where this particular breed is very easy for some to sex. They go by color and spot and all kinds of things.

I've seen that sexing Barred Rocks can be fairly simple for some of y'all so I figured I'd ask for help with mine. Thanks in advance. Bambolina Chickaletta Hoza

Great! Thanks so much.
