I've had my chickens for about 10 Months (Since they were a few days old). I've raised them from chicks in a brooder to chickens in a coop, basically by myself. When I'm outside their enclosure they run to me and chirp. When I clean their coop they gather around me and peck at my shoes. However...

How to tell if an egg had been fetizilied?

I'll have to do some digging for dirt 😂, thank you! Chickens really have no care for boundaries and "property lines" 😂

Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it! I think since this is my first time raising chicks I'm really anxious lol. I will most definitely be buying a thermometer when the shops open up!

I have 3 bantam silkies that are about a week old in a brooder about 3.5ft×1ft, I am using a heat lamp, and I noticed they are huddling in a corner. I know that when they are lumped together it usually means they are cold, but they are not sitting directly under the light. Unfortunately, I do...
