Did you get your eggs placed under your Red Hen?

He certainly has the sideburns for Ameracauna.

Not sure why the pics aren't uploading

Yes, we plan to separate her, and am posting pics. But we aren't sure if we should move her & eggs now or after hatching. I'm thinking we ought to now to make it easier on us, but don't know if that will upset the whole works for her. A first time mommy for her. These are pics of current place...

Following as well. I have a new nest I found under my porch, with 32 eggs and mama. We had found the nest about 10 days ago, and she has been sitting the whole time. So we aren't sure when her nest will hatch. Our question, for hopefully more knowledgeable folks will see these posts: Should we...

Maybe add some Probiotics for gut flora?

Last summer I was raising my first batch of chicks, and had a few with pasty butt. I was told by the feedstore gal to keep them out of drafts, that was the old wives tale for that. I'd love to know more. I'm looking fwd to others chiming in. This last month I had one of my "missing hens" show up...

I have Ameracaunas, and thankfully, they are all hens. They are the sweetest, and want to be picked up and held, and have even wandered in to the house. Yours looks like it has tail feathers of a cockerel, as my girls have very small tail feathers and fluffy butts. Also, we read the articles on...

Would a Probiotic help with their digestive enzymes, either as a water additive or a little yogurt?

I'm rather new at the chicks, but have to ask, does NutriDrench have electrolytes and probiotics?

Can chickens catch respiratory viruses from their human caregivers? I have a cold and wonder if I should avoid my chickens to keep them safe?

Jeepers, Cheepers!! We woke up this morning to signs of a broken egg shell & the faintest little cheeps!! Motherhood!!!

Thank you for the heads up. Do they just continue to hatch day after day, since each egg was laid a day apart? I was thinking of piling up some hay around her area to just let her be, all cozy & all, with food & water nearby. But also thinking I could move the whole kit & caboodle into a brooder...

Yes, we had 3 roosters, but 2 were so mean that they went in the freezer about 3-1/2 weeks ago. But, we still have one mild-mannered Roo, to watch over the girls. So, I believe they are fertile

My Buffy went missing three weeks ago! We searched high & low, and gave up, thinking a coyote must have gotten her, as she liked to roam onto the trees....long story short, I found her today!! Under the porch with about 20 eggs!! This is my first year with chickens...started in June with day old...

--Whats the best way to keep chickens out of our vegetable garden? I have a three foot fence but they can get up and over with ease. Will be planting soon.-- GP: We have been thinking along the same lines around here. Not sure what others do, this will be my first year of dealing with chickens...

So sorry to hear of your loss, and what a shock to your remaining baby girl! I have not experienced anything like this, but I just wanted to add that I heard that chickens love classical music. Maybe your girl would be soothed with some music?:love

Hello @ChickenMannR...another Oregonian here..East Clackamas county. I'd write more on this, but by the time I get done looking up all my questions for the day, I run out of time, and my head is a'spinnin'. But, welcome!:frow I am new to chickens and have 28 in my flock, with 4 Roos and 24...

Welcome!
