Yep...I stopped once the 12th Chick went out..Roxy was having a harder time excepting this last Chick...Nothing was progressing with the last four...I tapped all the eggs to hear peeps or if they wobbled?....Nothing..:(...:)....They are Duds......I took the eggs outside and let them cool..:(...
I think if a person just does it. And not panicky when the Hen pecks them once or twice?...;)....It works out fantastic....I just took the last one out and she pecked it on the head and then tucked it under her..:).....Hens are great Mothers! I now have 12 under her...:)
Cheers!
Update...:)
I have successfully introduced 7 Chicks and My Hen Crazy Alice into my Flock..They were 3 weeks old....Fantastic....Now they are all 5 weeks old....:)
Also My Hen Roxy was setting 15 eggs....She abandoned the nest at 7 Chicks..This happened on Saturday...I rescued all eggs and a...
Yeah, I left all the Chicken threads.....Everyone hated me because of my way of doing things and at the end of the day......Who cares? .....
It sure has been nice chatting....I'm a nice person, just a bit misunderstood......;)
Great talking with you......Continue or be done?........
Not sure...
Oh wow.....How awesome ......I just sold two horses and kept my Arabian who is my best friend...I trained him myself...He was 16 on Valentines day.....I also have a rescued mini who is 3 years old....
I have 5 dogs...1 cat, 6 ducks and 11 ducklings..2 Horses...10 Hens, 1Rooster and the 9...
Fantastic....Thanks for sharing the pictures.....I love your Birds...The goats are so cute....I like the Turkey's too.....Well actually all the animals.....I have Horses also......were yours mules or donkeys?
Alice is not pretty by no means....She looks like a roadrunner and zips around the coop and run..when free ranging she is so funny...Alice runs from one place to the next....Great Mother though....She is not mean at all with me...Just a talker....
Not all Birds are pretty...They can be pretty...
Alice is a mix of something?.....lol...Crazy little Bird......Possibly Slikie cross although she has normal toes and legs....The guy I got her from has lots of Bantam breeds and other types....I thought she was hilarious looking so I took her too......:)
I have lots of pretty Chickens...My...
Yeah, I got the itch when my Hens would not stop going broody ..I would break them and six eggs later they were broody. Again...lol.....My thoughts were to set eggs.....The one saved me from a total hatching mess....Another thread....
I also have 10 Ducklings that are 6 days Old and my Bouncer...
Yes, and not interfering in the natural dynamics of a flock of birds.....They can only be as good as we allow them to be... I never interfere ....The Chicks have the entire Flock excited about the new arrivals....I hope it all goes this great when I introduce Alice and her 7 into the coop in a...
I just went to check on the Chicks before we leave to the Dump.....The one Chick popped out from my Speckled Sussex and she has never been broody at all.....I guess she likes the Chicks?.....;)...So neat to see how if given the chance, they all just fall into step, a natural flock.....
So...
