We have 6 in the incubator and were surprised to see more eggs being laid-we cracked open 2 of the eggs this morning and both appeared fertile(my 2 boys each had 1 for breakfast)

Does anyone have hens laying eggs yet? One of ours just started within the last week but our male already dropped his train.

Cute pictures! So at this point in our hatching trials, my friend hatched out 5 peas using a broody hen and I set 2 different groups of eggs in our incubator, nothing hatched from the 1st group and thinking this group won't produce anything either. I did give 7 eggs to another person I know...

Got an update from my friend, the 2 chicks that the broody hen beat up are doing good. All 5 are in a brooder in her office so we know at least the male is doing his job!

So my friend that put eggs from our peas under her broody had 5 hatch out sometime yesterday. When she checked, the broody had beaten up 2 of the 3, so my friend removed all the chicks and put the 2 needing the most help into her incubator to bring their temp. up, they seemed to be slowly...

we will just keep her in the area she is now and see what happens- we want her to be as comfortable and stress free as possible.

Okay. Good Luck to you as well

Good Luck

no, the one you have pictured seems small....I was thinking along the line of one that is 48" L x 28" W x 36" H but wasn't sure if that was big enough either. As of now she is hanging out on the roost with our other female.

no, it would be easier to move the hen but not sure how she would do in an extra large dog crate- want to make sure she has enough room.

So we ended up having to remove the eggs that our pea was sitting on- our male was not letting up and kept chasing her off- the 4 eggs that we brought into the incubator were cold, so we candled all the eggs and ended up removing 6, of the 4 left in the incubator only 1 shows the most promise...

So our peahen who is sitting on eggs only has 5 under her now, when I went out to feed this am- 2 of the eggs were rolled at least 5-6 feet away from the nest- I candled and put them in the incubator- 1 looks to have red veins, the other not much of anything but we 'll see what happens. I have...

I will, not sure what we'll get, they are all 3 years old and last year our IB hen laid but nothing developed to far. The pied hen is new this year so

so far we have collected 16 eggs. My friend has 6 eggs under a broody and 5 out 6 show development. I put 3 into our incubator and our pied hen is sitting on 7 eggs. We have to watch her nest as our male was bothering her,

Our 2 girls just started to lay the beginning of this week for the season, collected 6 eggs so far- will be giving them to a friend to hatch under a broody.
