    Do 1 or 2 broody hens cause the other hens to stop laying?

    I have 12 hens, mostly cochin hens, some silkies, and a bantam light brama. I also have a little rooster (Squirt!) that does a fine job watching out for and taking care of his harem! I have a couple hens that are really broody - ie: they would live on eggs forever, if I let them! My problem is...

    Fishy smelling egg.

    I recently got 2 little frizzles and when I got them they were being treated for leg mites with Ivermectin. I was told not to eat their eggs for 2-4 weeks after their last treatment, and to be safe, I waited 6 weeks. When I cracked the first of their eggs I got a whiff of fish, but added it to...

    Quote: Not yet, they are still cooing most of the time. Altho, I heard Peanut practicing her egg song, so it might be soon. Also, remember Tinkles, she's decided to nest in the straw outside the coop & runs. Not a great place, any suggestions as to how to get her in the nest boxes?

    This was my pleasant surprise yesterday! Patience, by not going out every hour, reaps reward of 5 at one time! I wish I had put something in the pic for scale - these are all Bantam eggs, and the basket is about 5 inches across at the handle! I just love my little kids! They bring smiles to...

    Well, here's my first official dozen!!! I have been saving them for almost a week and I think there are 4 different kinds! I have 3 bantam cochins and a bantan light brahma that I think laid these pretty little things! Now I'm waiting for my little black Silkie, my sweet little Mille Fleur, and...

    Quote: Well, the egg was in a nesting box, but when I found it, Peanut was hovering at that particular box. I was thinking it might have been PB (now, I'm back to thinking she's a girl!) but cochins lay brown eggs! Hootie (Mille Fleur D'Uccle) is acting a little strange, too! I'm so...

    We got our first egg last night! The problem that kept me up all night was wondering from which little girl did it arrive? I have a wonderful variety of bantams, and from the breed lists I've read, they should all lay brown or at least tinted eggs...this one is perfect and white!!! But it is...

    All my little bantums eat grass! The newer the better (tender is the name of the game!)
