    Broody Hen Thread!

    Hello folks... So my first experience with a broody isn't turning out quite like I planned... Checked on her last Thursday, she was doing fine, eggs were fine (though I think she was down 1, down to 11). Went out of town for the weekend. Checked sunday night. 2 eggs left. I found parts...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I had to check and remove eggs from mine for the first week before the other chickens finally learned that her next was off limits! I never moved her, just pulled out the eggs. I'd put them in a different spot carefully until I had all the eggs out, and simply return the numbered ones. She'd...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    I will say that my girl isn't mean to me... I have a good relationship with my chickens, though she was one of the more cautious ones before... Even in her broody state she's never once pecked me and she stayed close and let me protect her from the other chickens. She knows I'm not trying to...

I put water next to her and she was drinking. But the whole time she was fluffed up and very agitated. Finally got her...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    has anyone run the chicken calculator on the possible chicks they might get? I just did that, and I'm dying! apparently I might get about anything, since my roo is a black star (RIR x barred rock) and my hens are Isa browns, BLRW, BCM... I hope I get something that hatches!

    Broody Hen Thread!

    OK question... I went to check on my broody yesterday-- and what I found makes me nervous. I numbered her 12 eggs on Sunday, because the other hens keep trying to lay in the box and I want to pull out any new additions. anyway, yesterday I found egg on the outside of many of her eggs--and...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Just wanted to check in... my first ever broody hen is sitting on a dozen assorted barnyard mix eggs! I thought last week she might be getting broody, but then nothing really came of it. Well Saturday I saw her quite content on the nest in the most popular box, so I didn't grab the eggs. I...
