i had a easter egger that would hatch extremely well then one day started killing all the babies, so they get taken now. alot of them will be fine then just drop dead now, so thats why im trying to switch to bantams. i think my big girls are to old now :(
okay thank you! shes only three, my lavender orpington didnt start setting on eggs until last year and shell be 5 this june, i just wanted to make sure i was doing everything right, do bantams need a special nesting box? mine have one but she would rather lay eggs on the dirt
okay, so someone we know gave us two bantams a rooster, and a hen. she recently got settled in and started laying eggs, are bantams good mothers? or would i need a incubator. my big chickens sit on there eggs and will hatch them but they arent to good at keeping there babies alive, so we have to...
okay so a little back story, my friend works at tractor supply and they just throw the sick chicks in the trash after they die and dont really do anything to help them, so between me and her we take them home and help them the best we can.
anyways, today she called me and said she had a 2-4...
