My hen went broody yesterday, we moved her from the hen house into a separate more private area, this morning when I woke up she had gone back to the hen house and sat on another nest.
Are the eggs that she left still good or should we move her again and put new eggs?
There is minor wounds on his body but he lost all of his feathers on his back and side. He is just laying down with his eyes half open! I dont know what to do i dont see bite marks but My grandpa saw the dog had the rooster in his mouth like a rag doll! Can i save it? its just laying down...
It is day 22 and I have yet to see my hens chicks, she is sitting on them and I lifted her to see if there were any hatched and its still just eggs! Will i have any hatch? is there a way to check?
She is very friendly but i am always cautious when it comes to a momma and her offspring, so i will not be sticking my hand under her! As for the eggs, she is sitting on 17 and all of them were viable when candled!
All the information online is for hatching by incubator, nothing on natural...
Help! This is my first time with a broody hen and I dont know what to do! Today is day 21 and I have not seen any chicks! is the momma supposed to get off from the eggs? or sill she know when they are due?
PLEASE HELP
My hen has been sitting on her eggs for 20 or 21 days! I lost count I am so excited to see her eggs hatch! I have never had a broody, or seen eggs hatch! Wish me luck!
So my hen never laid her eggs in the nest she made her own nest on the counter in my outside kitchen. She went broody and is on the counter. Should I move her and her eggs to the nest? or should i leave her there? also she is only sitting on some of the eggs not all?
Please help me
Today my rooster was looking rather odd. I grabbed it and noticed that it had been bitten and had tons of maggots on its rear!!! What should i do to help him live???? Im desperate!
