wish you were closer to me, I'd take some black Marans!

I've given chicks to a broody hen, wait till dark and sneak them under her. Be sure she is alone with them, not with the other adult chooks, in a separate pen. Usually this works, but watch the first day to be sure she doesn't turn on them....

here is a pic of the aformentioned eggs....she just keeps laying them, they never get any larger....weird!

Question; I've got a blue Am hen who lays small, inch to inch and 1/2 long eggs, without a yolk. This has been going on all spring, she never laid last fall like her sister. I keep waiting for the eggs to get bigger, but so far no luck. Donna, anyone, have you guys experienced this before?

off the subject of chickens, but can anyone out there in middle TN give this girl a home? She looks like she needs it and I'd get her if I still lived in the area!! http://nashville.craigslist.org/grd/4939926865.html

....and just FYI, they don't ALWAYS lay a blue egg, I ended up with 2 pullets out of the 6 chicks I got, and one lays a blue egg, the other a white egg....

Wow, reading back on the stories of power outages, I did not know you all got so much ice! That sucks to be without power so long! We lost power here Sat. morn. but only for 2 hours. I miss my generator we left when we moved!! We are on a well here and need electric for water too....I've...

LOL, LOL, LOL!!! That's hilarious! They do kinda actively look for ways to die don't they? I got 16 in July, finally got a barn up for them to stay in, in Nov., got them locked in there full time and waiting until I can let them free range...most said wait 6-10 weeks so they know to go back...

8 week old chicks should be fully feathered and able to handle cooler temps, I think you'll not have any problems, but why do you need to wait 8 weeks before adding them to the main flock? I thought 4 weeks quarantine was adequate?

that's alot of posts! Can't wait to see it finished.

sure wish you were closer!! I'd take at least 6 of em!!

I use the black rubber bowls from TSC and they do not get damaged from freezing, I just dump the ice out in the mornings and refill with fresh (warm) water on cold days. Sometimes you have to bang them pretty hard to get the ice out tho....and I have a water warmer (electric) I can place a...
