    Chick has something by vent

    It’s smaller today so I am guessing it’s drying up more! I googled yolk not absorbed after someone said it and that’s what it looks like. So I will leave it alone. As it’s said it can take awhile for it to fall off! I’ve just been checking on the chick a lot!

    3 eggs haven’t hatched

    I went to candle them and last night she rolled them all out of her nest and they were frozen cold. So I guess she decided they were done. She is now focused on babies

    First time with hen sitting

    That’s a good idea I posted below what we did. The roosters were really upsetting her so we took her out of the coop! Are plans are to make another coop a smaller one for our hens that want to sit so that we can control the rooster situation next time!

    First time with hen sitting

    No I made it so no stickiness is exposed and my husband attached it to the nester with tools so we can take it off. I lined up the duck tape so it’s like the sticky together and the non sticky on both sides! It was the only thing we could find to use

    First time with hen sitting

    Yes this one has always laid in this neat and slept in it! Since we got her! I put up a little more of a barrier so babies won’t fall out and she can still get out!

    First time with hen sitting

    The nester of course she picked the one that is about 4 feet off the ground. I didn’t know if she would abandon them that’s why I didn’t do it sooner. I’ve been so worried about upsetting her. I have been going out there multiple times a day but I also worry bc the roosters are very interested...

    First time with hen sitting

    Okay so one of my hens has been sitting on eggs for around 18-19 days. She has been acting very strange and will only let me in the coup or she freaks out!

    First time hen sitter

    Hello!! I have my first hen that is wanting to sit on eggs!! She started sitting on 4-18-2020 and I’ve only noticed that she gets up to eat and drink when I am around, I think it’s due to the roosters wanting to mate. My question is she seems stressed out as she got up to eat as I cleaned the...
