We just peeked after we got off work and there was one already hatched that we seen but we put mama back pretty fast so we wouldnt disturb the rest of them, today is exactly 21 days , is it ok to move her to a new nest on the floor to night without her abandoning the babies? This is so much fun
My Broodys eggs are hatching, The Hen is sitting in the nest box and the other hens have access to it do we need to move mama and babies to an excluded area and do we need to have a light on mama and babies temp right now is about 50 day time, and around 30 night time. Temps will be dropping...
Thanks for all the answers she is still in the nest so I decided to give her 5 eggs to sit on do you think I could add some fresh eggs under her today? I am fairly new at this chicken farming and I started with my chicks in May, as little day olds. I am sorry but I lurk more than I ask...
I guess my Hen is Broody I put 5 Eggs under her yesterday do you think it would be ok to add a few more fresh eggs under her today also? This will be my first time trying for my own little chicks. I kinda hate trying it with cold weather coming on but she will not leave the nest. thanks for...
I have a Hen that is just sitting in a nesting box she has been there for 3 days, Don't know if she has been up at all but there are no eggs under her as far as I can tell when we try to move her she pecks at us. suggestions please. What should I ck for if something might be wrong with her
I am new at the chicken bus. and I want to try and add a photo of some of my babies, I have 3 RIR pullets, 3 Barred plymouth Rock pullets, 3 brown leghorn pullets, 2 silver laced wyandotte and one happy little rooster a brown leghorn. I am trying to get a pic to show up. so I hope this works.
I thought the Hilton Hen was a good one. I read it on here some where. I'M new and been trying to think of a name for my coop so I might go with the hilton hen, dial 1:800 chicks are us. hehe:lau:yiipchick
