    Using fake eggs

    Oh thanks, this sounds great. I actually just watched as another hen came into her nest and mama jumped out and took a break and let her take over. And now she's back on her nest. Very cool. I'll go mark what's under her today, if that's good.. she's been on around 4 eggs since yesterday and...

    Using fake eggs

    Thanks, if I don't really want them broody is it better to take out the fake one?

    Using fake eggs

    We are trying to encourage using all the nest boxes, but our 4 hens keep sharing the same box. We bought 2 fake eggs, after the toddler broke one, we just put the one in a different box than the favored one. Now it seems we've turned at least one hen broody. The left box is favored, so they are...

    Starting my second hatch - QUESTION

    I observed, in my previous and first hatch, when the first chick hatched, it stumbled, tripped, bumped, climbed, etc ALL OVER the other eggs. I was just reading that you don't want to be turning the eggs anymore once they are ready to hatch so they are in a prime direction to start breaking the...

    Coming in late almost hatched-along..

    We haven't had anymore hatching or pips. I candled them just now and weeded out the empty ones, but the remaining ones I think are dead.. Any suggestions on what happened or what I can do differently to get better hatches? We definitely hoped for more guineas than one and now need to figure out...

    We lost one of the guineas overnight that had a pip. The other one has hatched but I had to help it, the membrane was stuck to it.

    Coming in late almost hatched-along..

    That chicken has already hatched since posting. I did delay putting the chicken eggs in for 7 days so that they'd hatch at same time. We have our brooder box ready. Only issue with locking down is that I can't add water to the incubator to keep humidity up without cracking it open.

    Eggshells explained?

    We get this assortment often, just wondering what causes the two in the middle? I think the left middle is from the olive egger and the right middle is from one of two golden cuckoo marans. Thanks!

    My meanie rooster

    Is it likely he'll become aggressive too? He's currently more like a loner and probably bottom of pecking order

    My meanie rooster

    Oh I didn't think about it that way.. thanks!

    My meanie rooster

    That's what I was just thinking.. he's probably bullying the rest of them and they'll be happy to have him gone. I just don't want the other one to take his place! He's most likely the bottom of the flock currently. He keeps to himself and doesn't go after treats. Oops This was supposed to be...

    My meanie rooster

    No polish on toes but I do have a tattoo on that toe! Haha! But he met me at the door while the rest of the flock was in the coop settling for the evening. I opened the run door and he was staying right in front of me and started poking out his chest when I stepped one foot in. That's when he...

    My meanie rooster

    What is most likely to happen with the remaining flock since he is top of pecking order? I have another GCM rooster (who has been the shy loner) and 4 hens ( 2 GCM, 1 olive egger, 1 lav orpington)

    My meanie rooster

    He pecked my toe, drawing blood, and now started pecking an egg I was collecting! Golden cuckoo maran at 24 weeks.. I have small kids, he's got to go 😞 I hate it, I feel like I failed him!
