Not sure, I just freaked out and put the hen back on

I have some Light Brahams and one has been broody on some eggs for 2 weeks. I accidentally penned up the chickens away from the eggs for 4ish hours. One hen was trying to get out so I put her with the eggs. A. Are the eggs lost? B. Did I pick the right hen?

I have some Barred Rock chicks that are 2 and 1/2 weeks old and I was wondering if they could go outside. They were from a hatchery, so they don't have their mamma with them. Not permanently, just for a little each day and only when it is warm.

I currently have a flock of Light Brahma chickens (3 hens 2 roosters that get along well). I was looking to raise some Barred Rock chicks to add to my flock. I read somewhere that Barred Rock hens are docile and get along well with others but the roosters don't and are very aggressive. Is this true?

I have a chicken tractor that is currently housing 3 Light Brahma chickens.(1 rooster, 2 hens) If I try having the chickens hatch their own eggs, will the rooster be a problem for the developing eggs or the newly hatched chicks?

Okay, I recently had the same thing but their combs turned black. Lost six chickens in about 2 days. Sorry I couldn't help. Hope all turns out for the best! Do you already feed them some DE?

Is part of her comb black or healthy looking?

I have an 11 day old baby chick which has started chirping nonstop and constantly walks in circles, bumping into whatever is in its way. It seems smaller than the other chicks its own age and its "feathers" (not wing feathers but the "fuzz" on its back) seem... uneven? Not sure if it is blind or...

As far as I can tell, the neck is okay.

Could this be coccidiosis?

I have an 11 day old RIR chick that will not stop chirping or walking in circles. It is almost as if it has vertigo. It has been vaccinated and appears to be healthy. Is it possible it could be partially blind or just sick? I have tried waving my hand around it to see if it will respond and one...

Thank you! :)

Do Brahmas behave well around other types of chickens? Especially Light Brahmas. I thought I heard somewhere that Brahmas get along with people but do not get along as well with other chickens. Any thoughts?

Will Brahmas pick on reds if they are larger? I have heard Brahmas do not get along well with other birds.

I am wanting to keep different types of chickens in the same coop. Do Rhode Island Reds and Light Brahmas get along?

I don't have the money to take them to the vet. That's why I asked on here ;)

Are they pooping in the nesting boxes or are their eggs just poopy on the outside?

How often do you change what you use for bedding?
