Boody hens "in coop" set ups?

Yeah, my new horse is really hard to put a saddle on, he has a flat back but a narrow body, hes is a baby so may he'll fill out a bit.

I just had some saddle fitting with some friends and my saddle is never going to fit my horse! There goes another saddle.

My babies hatches 3 days ago. I got 4 out of a 6+2 buy. Is that good for putting them under a broody hen?

I checked the others (buy opening them today - yuk! the other 4 eggs were all rotten - I only broken enough of the shell to see the black interior - and one of the eggs actually popped from the gas inside! It was rotten. I don't know when the other chicks stopped growing but I know she never left the nest.

I'll putting my favourite horse up for sale and three saddles now. I need to get an easier horse, and he need to go where he will be ridden like crazy.

I would say that is a good number, I had 3 eggs under a hen and got 2 chicks. to the 4 rotten eggs and I'm sorry you have to sell you horse, my mom has been trying to sell her horse or even give her away for years now. I am kind of glad that no one has bought her. She is a goof but she is funny and I like her.

Maybe that is what is happening here. I was curious as to why Ochre joined Verde the broody hen weeks after she had been sitting.

I tired to upload some pics for you but it isnt working I just let my broody hen sit in the nest box and let the other birds be around her. She doesn't seem to mind and one bird will sit with her to keep her company. I try to keep the roo away though.

My Cochin just took a nestbox over and hatched three of her five (four if you count the one who hatched on its own adlftwr she left). But she's on the top of the pecking order too even when she's on a nest
