Our new boy rod Stewart has been with us for a month or more now and is as happy as can be, we have enough hens that they each chose a rooster to follow and went with it, we have only had a squabble once so far but that was when rod was still new. Since getting him, the whole flock has been...

So random story time. I have had a flock of 27 birds for about 2 years now so I'm still relatively new but I have almost this entire time had two roosters with all my hens. Never had any problems. My two roosters, becky and our hand raised americauna boy houdini One day houdini disapeared we...

Sadly enough it dropped below zero last night and my hen abandoned the nest . Anyone able to point me in the direction of a good incubator.... these eggs are done for.... but I hope the next batch make it

ll I didn't even realize she was broody because most hens you hear about when they get broody they get mean but I can stick my hand under her and she will just cuddle against my arm so I'm hoping for the best. Thank you for the good hatching vibes. She has chosen my biggest nesting box to brood...

Officially let her brood all day. Let's hope for the best lol

Feeling a bit late in joining lol. One of my americaunas is sitting on a nest of four (1 americauna, 1 blackrock, 1plymouth rock, and one barred red) never had a brooding hen yet and hope the eggs are all good. If all goes well I should have some new chicks by the 19 any advice?

OK Sounds Like A Good Idea And Ya I've Noticed She Hasn't Laid For The Past Few Days. .. at first I thought she was egg bound but I stuck my hand underneath her and found she had some eggs underneath and once removed she imeadiatly got up and walked away it hhas been the exact same the past 3 days

I can't wait to try... I have two roosters though ... should I stick her and the other americaunas in with the Polish rooster for a week? I have so many hens that idk what eggs are fertilized and what aren't. ... how could I guarantee that they have been fertilized?

Thanks this gives me a lot more confidence in doing this, I have honestly never hatched eggs myself so I didn't exactly know what to do. I trust my americauna girl will be a great mother, she has a very gentle nature and will let me take anything out from underneath her without a fuss other...

So one of my americaunas girls has gone broody, she will literally sit on anything at this moment. What are the pros and cons of having a hen sit on her eggs? We have a controlled environment we will be setting her up in so she can safely sit on them with no danger. Any advice? Is this even a...

Sorry idk if this is the wrong place to post this. So I am now getting into the world of egg hatching. I just got myself a gorgeous new Polish rooster the previous owner named him rod Stewart for a good reason lol I was wonder what the babies between him and my brown americaunas girls would...

Mrs K. How can you tell? I have read many posts on eggs and how to tell if they are fertilized, and am nowhere near having an answer. I know at this moment on of my four americaunas and my one Blackrock hen are his current favorites, but he also likes one of my red rocks and barred Plymouth. ...

How can you tell if it's fertile by the color?

OK thanks we do have two coops so I was thinking I would move some of our girls into that one... do you think it might work? Both are on opposite sides of the property

Thank you... I was pretty worried that something was actually wrong. ... there is just a little bit so I didn't know if it was something minor or mayjor

So I have four blue egg layers in my flock (americaunas) and this is the third time I've picked up a blue egg that has a bit of a bloody residue on the top... I have check all four girl and none of them have any evidence of blood around their butt or are showing signs of pain during and out of...

So I have a flock of around 25 hens and used to have two roosters up until 2 monthes ago when my favorite was snatched up by a predator :'( I haven't been able to bring myself to get a new one until recently after seeing how overwhelmed my one roo is. He is only able to handle a few of my...
