    Roosting?

    When I first got my hen at a month old, she would always roost but lately (now six months old and starting to lay) she won't even touch the roosting stick. Is there something I should be worried about?

    How to introduce a Rooster?

    Hey guys, I'm planning on trying to get fertile eggs from my hen. The only problem is that I don't own a rooster but a friend of mine does. I believe the rooster is over a year old and my hen is around 6 months. Now, is it possible to introduce my friends rooster to my hen for a short time so...

    Freshly laid eggs.

    D'Angelo N Va. : If the shell is not dirty, don't bother washing it. You only need to wash it, the eggs are dirty/lightly soiled. As far as the refrig. that is personally up to you. I myself almost hardly ever put my eggs in the refrig. even. Unless it's hot as haites in the house, in which...

    So before storing it in the refrigerator, you "must" wash it? What if the egg shell isn't dirty at all?

    Freshly laid eggs.

    Yeah hah, my hen actually lays almost at the same time of the morning so it's pretty easy for me to know when to look. But as for my question, in your opinion, would you place warm eggs straight into the refrigerator?

    6 month old pullet egg laying

    Yeah I know, I think I'll just make a homemade incubator, mainly because I don't want my hen to go broody hah and with a homemade incubator, I can make one that fits me.

    Incubator

    I'm planning to order a small amount of fertile eggs right at the end of the winter season. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can order a cheap incubator, one that incubates 2-4 eggs. Thanks!

    6 month old pullet egg laying

    Yeah haha. My only problem is that I can't have roosters. So my best bet to hatching my own chicks is to order fertile eggs and either incubating it or letting my hen hatch it. That's to bad
