    Why pretend to lay eggs (non-laying hens)

    I have a 3yr old black copper marans and she also stopped laying about 2 yrs ago after hatching out some chicks. We have a basket on the porch the chickens have claimed and I watched her twice today sit for while get up and do the egg song. We call her the faker (attention seeker). I have no...

    Cornish x help

    Thanks guys, we did decide to have my father-in-law butcher them for us. They were each about 13/15 lbs a piece. We plan to roast them slowly in the oven when we do eat them.

    Are these worth setting?

    Both look fertile in my opinion. Just hatched 13 chicks 7 days ago from our girls. One was a pretty new layer. And all are still alive .

    questions. New to chicks

    Oh I see. And about the mess. This is our first time using straw. TS was out of pine shavings. As of now it isn't terrible because there so small. It was so messy putting in tho, and my husband did say next time we will use pine shavings. My last and first hatch we used large shavings. But at...

    questions. New to chicks

    It's a fairly large heating pad, pretty old as well. It's one that won't turn off after a few hrs luckily. But yes we have 11 chicks and 11 more in the bator. I believe all 22 could fit pretty comfortably at this small size and maybe for a few more weeks. The next batch won't be out for almost 2...

    questions. New to chicks

    We did the cave method with our now 3 day olds. Used a large dog crate and wrapped the bottom with some plastic mesh because we have cats inside. The cave is made with chicken wire with a heating pad over the top of it, then a towel, and straw. They love to go inside or sit on the top. And no...

    First Hatch - Candling or no?

    Also wanted to add we have 10 black copper maran eggs in our second bator and with the bright flash light on day 7 I couldn't see veins but I could see the darkening on one side, so u can still tell good from bad eggs. We had 2 bad and I could see that they were not fertile . Good luck
