The $15 each is for them processed, shrink wrapped and frozen. She loves them ready to cook, and I don't mind processing. Besides she likes the chicken without skin and it is impossible to get them from the store without skin. She doesn't like to de-skin the store bought birds.
The question is...
September of last year one of my hens hatched 4 eggs. Two Roos and two hens. Flock currently consists of 21 hens and 4 Roos...yes too many Roos....

Tomorrow evening my broody hen will have been sitting on eggs for 21 days. She has her own food and water right next to the nesting box. Is there anything I need to be doing for her and the chicks? Should I take the eggs from her at day 23 if the chicks are not piping? I am totally at a...

My coop is under construction at the moment. It will be 120 square feet with a large covered...
