My poor little man [I'm not sure it is a cock or what breed it might be] survived a hawk attack yesterday evening. Looks like rocky after a fight. 2 black eyes, and a chunk of feathered skin gone from back of his neck. He fought well though. Made so much noise all my girls and my roo came...

Nosey little ladies you got there, i would say. They will generally go broody in their favorite nest as they don't know pretty girl is in the maternity ward.

Lol sounds like me

Awww so adorable

most welcome

I was incubating last year and on day16 i candled and i dropped one and it busted 2 others when it hit. I was beside myself with guilt

Yeah, it's very heart breaking and my heart n tears go out to you. I'm so very sorry for your little chicks that did not make it

I checked her for mites, nothing. I called the guy i got her from and he said she does that. Thats where he gets all the chicks he has given me this past year, about 30, lol. He said she will do this 3 or 4 times in a row, wont raise her babies, then will stop n go back to laying eggs. ... as...

Can you see this rotten thing in the feeder eating? Its fat fluffy butts going to get stuck

This isnt her first. She was given to me with 10 chicks this past July. Joe(guy who gave her to me) told me it was her third clutch back to back. Is it ok top let her sit or is she going to kill herself?

Most welcome. On a funny note, my broody hatched 5 eggs yesterday, today she wants out i let her out to roam yard. She comes back attacks the babies anytime they come near so i let her back out. She wont raise the babies she hatched but goes to coop and sits on 8 new eggs..... i mean wth?

Awww so sweet. I would say you can go for shells tmrw. As far as food and water they take the yolks into themselves and they can n will live on them for a few days. That's how they ship them without food n water. . Even a new momma will know what to do. It's instinct. And silkies are the...

I believe so. It may not work out. I would be careful that the new eggs dont hatch during lockdown for the old eggs.

Lol ikr. I've raised many chicks in house, but they were bought. This was my first time with broody hen. You would have thought my daughter was in labor

I'm not telling you what i think you should do. That being said. ..i didn't look and 3 of my 8 died partway out of the shell. I'm very grateful for the 5 i have, but totally wish i had looked, just to see. I love my chicks like my kids. Though i don't eat the kids, lol. I feel like its my fault .

Ikr. My husband just lols at me

Thnk you. I didnt sit on those eggs but i sure worried for each and every one of those 21 days. I'm like the crazy chicken lady. I started out with a small flock of 8.i did the chicken math and over 3 yrs, I now have 150 and they live in my 12 stall barn with horses.

wooooohooooo

Ok trying smaller.
