    Fertilized eggs in NJ

    Thought I read there was some chemical that if found inside the egg meant male or female.

    Can eggs be eaten if I do this or do they need to be thrown away. I’d rather throw away feed than eggs

    For free in NJ - kalbach medicated chick feed

    Hi, Chewy sent me the wrong food. This is medicated Kalmbach 18% chick feed. They were supposed to send me the 20% flock maker that I always use. They do not want it back so it’s free for whoever wants it. Just gotta pick it up.

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    **** UPDATE***** So after two nights manually placing them inside and then checking up on them a few hours later, they’re going in at night. Yesterday and today they went inside all on their own. Hopefully it keeps up.

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    I don’t think it’s fear since only the older ones are starting to lay. I had another soft one like this in the nesting box last week. But starting to get some nice production. Been busy the past few days… hopefully tomorrow I can get them out to free range. They seem to really love digging...

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    I just placed them in… a little off topic but it looked like one of my chickens laid an egg on the droppings board but the shell looked really soft. Clearly the egg broke but the shell was like jelly? Does that happen when they first start laying? My chickens just started laying a few weeks ago...

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    Yea I heard at night you can trick them since they’re in a sleepy state… and place the new birds inside I dunno I think I read that somewhere . I’ll check them a few times and see what happens.

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    The older ones are always tucked in nicely on the top roost. I’ll check later tonight after I place the newer ones inside manually.

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    We wanted to add only one new one but the farm we went to had a 3 bird min. The original 6 were 7 but one was a rooster. Figured maybe one of the new ones would end up a rooster but nope… lol. You think once it gets colder they would want to go inside at night for warmth? I could also try that...

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    I don’t have any pictures of the roosting bars. Basically I have a droppings board and then about 12” up off that on a diagonal I have one 65” roosting bar. The. Approximately 12” higher than that I have another 65” roosting bar but perpendicular to the first one. Kind of like an “X” pattern.

    New chickens not sleeping in coop with older hens

    So I recently introduced three new hens (approximately 16 weeks old) to my existing flock (23 weeks old). I kept them separated at first by placing a large dog crate inside my run. I kept them separate for about 4 weeks. I then slowly introduced them together by letting them free range outside...

    Introducing new chickens

    I can try that. I think I wanna try letting them mingle together a little more before that because once they’re in the coop together, it will be much harder to get them out. I don’t have a walk in coop.
