Hello I am in search of jersey giant chicks or hatching eggs. I am in southeast Texas and would like to pick up if possible. But I will ship if necessary. I am interested in size and rate of lay over show quality. So the bigger the better!!! Thanks in advance
If you know of anywhere I can get these as chicks I would greatly appreciate it. I’m in southeast Texas would prefer pick up but will order if necessary. Thanks in advance!!!
So we have 3 chicks as of this morning. I have a friend with a silkie with a tendency to go broody, who offered to let her sit on the extras if there are any.
How long should I let her sit on there eggs some of the eggs were deposited by my other hens insisting on laying in that box. I can get brooder to put the eggs in after that time to let them hatch if necessary.
My first broody hen has been sitting on eggs for 3 weeks and the first eggs hatched this morning, no others have at this point. How long should I wait before I help. Should I help at all? What do I do? Please help.
I’ve had a couple attacked by dogs. My own and strays. Shot the status when/if they showed back up and shock collared mine. Most have survived and one had the milky excrement your talking about. If she seems fine there let her stay or bring her in with hold feed and water over night and keep her...
I have my first Broody hen and i want to mover her to my brooder pen with the eggs. When and how should I do this? Also she’s only on a couple eggs can I add more to increase chances of a good hatch?
I'm in the same boat as you. In need of a whole kit for about a 40 x 40 area for all my birds. Hope somebody out there knows of a good cheap one to use.
UPDATE: My oldest said he found a white egg in the burn pile yesterday so maybe she's got her own nest in there. I'll need to try to find it. Don't want her going broody in the burn pile. She's exposed in there.
