Still working as we all just walk into the chickens run and push the roosters aside, gently of course :) funnily enough i am right at this moment watching a documentary about the Amish and as the father and kids were going into the pen the father said "the children act like they are soldiers...

Ment to say thanks for the advice on agressive roosters, they dont go anywere near anyone now as i have everyone walk into the coop like they own the place and shove ( gently of course :) ) the roosters aside if they get in the way. They havent tried to attack anyone for a week. :D

So sorry hope the ones left make it out ok :)

Well.. Out of five one egg hatched, one didnt develop at all, one made it to day 18 then stopped developing, another made it to day 18 then got crushed by the mother and the last one hatched and fluffed up perfectly then got crushed by the mother. This is what i discovered after taking her off...

Thanks im hoping to see that aswell, i just candled once on one egg on day ten as i dont like to mess with my broodys to much but im starting to think i just happened to candle the only good egg :/

Il make sure to try and get pics of the candling aswell to get some advice from you guys as i have never candled this late in a hatch before.

Hi everyone!! Quick question My broody was sitting on five eggs (all set on the same day) its her first time hatching, one egg hatched day 20 it is now day 24 and nobody else has hatched. I am moving the broody and chick tomorro and will candle the remaning eggs. Is there any hope? anyone else...

The whole thing is around 8x2x2 foot'ish lol :) i just stuck the bottom frame together with old 2x1 then attached some old boards to one end to make the coop. :)

Only problem is that one chick hatched on day 21 and the other four eggs under her still haven't its day 23 now :(

Thanks, its the first thing I ever built couldnt believe how quick and easy it was, didnt even really measure anything lol!! :D

I just built this for my broody and her chicks. Made from left over wood, took only 5 hours to make and the roof lifts up. It works perfect to keep them safe. :)

Hmm reminds me of my dog training consistency is always the key. Its my poor mother whos going to have to learn this as she loves feeding the chickens but is a women who never wears pants and lives in long skirts, hopefully with this she will be able to keep feeding the hens.

Lol :D my frizzle pekins are definitely not for the table but thanks for the recipe all the same !!

Thanks so much! the advice about using the stick is something i never thought of and super helpful as others in the family can use this easily :)

Go back one or two pages on this thread there is a great example and photos :)

Wow sounds great shout away lol so excited for this hatch!

How can you train them out of being aggressive? This guy is small but becoming a terror I have been shoving him away being the alpha and breaking up any tiffs between him and the other rooster he doesn't go after me as much since then but is really bad whenever anyone else goes into the run. Any...

Thanks so much bee was figuring I had to start a new coop anyway just needed confirmation, still hope all of them hatch safe even though its going to cost me making another coop from scratch, but at least its something I enjoy doing :) as a hobby :)
