Boil eggs for 9 minutes, take off burner let sit in water for 5 minutes, then empty warm water and replace with ice cubes and cold water and let eggs sit in the ice water for 5 minutes, after that peel immediately! :) They won't peel the same if you wait a while, for example you can't put them...

Depending on your roosters personalities and behaviors 2 roosters with 5 hens isn't always such a horrible thing. I had 2 roosters with 4 hens and they do just fine, better than fine actually. Then hens are never beat up and always act happy and normal scratching around and laying eggs...

My GLW were very dark when they were chicks, that doesn't look anything like mine did. Where did you get him/her from?

I started off getting anywhere from 1 to 10 a day when it started getting cold now back to normal with 19 yesterday and 17 today

Correct! Egyptian Fayoumis, and 100% positive. He was only about a week older than the other chickens in this picture and he was already crowing at this age. This was several months ago.

Wow I guess I got lucky with my RIR hen, she is very sweet. I also would keep the underdog And stcroixusvi, you sound like me, I have accommodated for four roosters in pairs of two I am lucky that they get along in their pairs

Oh I see now you said the Sussex lol, mine are Barred Rocks, Dark Brahmas, and a mutt, they all seem to want to sit on their eggs, and all the other hens eggs. When winter came my eggs a day number went up from 5 or 6 to 16 to18.

Quote: If she does go broody, maybe I can get some hatching eggs Sshhh..... I know I wish spring time would come so I could have some more babies. I just don't want to do it since it is getting colder and I don't want to hog the garage with chickens until it gets warmer lol. We have been...

Mine do that too. I don't think they are truly serious about it though because if they were they wouldn't get up more than a couple times a day to eat something, drink, eat, and poop. So I think they are considering the idea but I don't feel like they are truly broody yet. I am going to see...

Welcome from Indiana!!!

Welcome from Indiana! What kind of ducks do you have?

Well my roosters crow whenever they want to...not just in the morning. And they lay around in the sun. He is bantam right? and the other hens are standard size? That is probably why he isn't dominant. One of the hens is probably the dominant one and she is bigger than him and isn't going to...

Quote: With any differences we may have in opinions, I am so happy to hear how much you care for your horses. I really admire how you talk about him as if he is a human being that you respect.

Quote: It is sad that you can't post a specific question and get just the answers you asked for without people "talking at you" like a child. I haven't been a member of this forum for very long but I see this in A LOT of posts. That is why I got defensive myself in earlier posts. So OP have...

It depends how many chicks I have in it, but usually the once a week rule works good
