    New chick

    Mama decided yesterday to switch nests and abandon the eggs, when she was taking a break from sitting I switched the developed eggs out with the fresh eggs and checked them all while making the switch. The one was pipped and I heard chick peeping up a storm in there lol. The rest were on track...

    New chick

    I have a Easter Egger who went broody this spring and hatched 3 ducklings (I didn’t have roosters at the time). She raised them to 3 weeks and all went smoothly. This spring I ended up acquiring 10 chicks and of those 10, 6 were roosters. Anyways fast forward to now, Mama went broody AGAIN and...

    What happened here?

    My girls has zero interest in oyster shells too, I started using the shells from their eggs. You just grind them up and sprinkle on their feed. There was a significant change in shell thickness after I started doing that. They went from breaking while collecting to me having to hit the shell...

    Could these be full size silkies???

    Did she get them from TSC? If so, the hatchery they use has bred the “fuzzy feet” out of them. Quantity over quality type of deal. They’re still silkies but you can’t show them.

    What chicken breeds are most likely to go broody?

    It’s kind of funny because I have had 3 go broody this year. My buff Orpington and my Easter Egger both went broody at the same time. Their eggs hatched 5 days from one another’s. The Buff decided after her little one hatched that being a mom wasn’t as fun as she thought and abandoned it after a...

    Twins

    I will definitely keep you updated, if they don’t make it I still plan on opening the egg and seeing what’s in there. As of tonight I definitely saw two sets of eyes, on opposite sides of the egg when I candled it. I really hope they make it, but two babies and only one yolk makes me think they...

    Twins

    I was just candling eggs from under my broody hen and noticed one egg seems to have twins in it. Has anyone ever seen or dealt with this before? Definitely threw me off!

    New to the group

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My first chicks were back when I was 6. After growing up and my kids getting a little older I started getting them again. It’s been 5 years since I’ve really started raising my own. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 19...

    What got my hen? Hawk? (warning: gruesome photo)

    It looks to me like a raccoon. We had hens going missing at a rate of 1-2 every two days. Put up a game cam and it was a raccoon! Took a few weeks to trap him but we finally did and he was quickly dispatched. Good luck, I know it’s devastating to find your girls like that.
