Broody Hen Thread!

Why don't y'all use a wormer med without a withdrawl period? I use Eprinex Pour on and it's fantastic, no withdrawl period and the bottle ($40) will last near a lifetime because the dosage for chickens is so small.

What is the dosage for a chicken?

For large fowl, 1/2cc. For bantam, 1/4cc. You put it on their neck like Advantage for Cats/Dogs. It gets rid of internal and external parasites and worms. Awesomesauce.

Expecting our eggs to hatch in 2 days. We're down to 4 eggs from the dozen due to a bossy Araucana trying to share the nest
Really hoping they all hatch! I think what's left are a Faverolle, a Barneveldor, a Light Sussex and a Coronation Sussex.

Sorry to hear about the losses from the bossy hen

Hoping the rest hatch out well!

Well, its been 70 or so degrees here in my neck of the woods the past couple of days and I think one of my hens has gotten bit by the broody bug! My Silkie Tina laid an egg this morning and then got in the empty nest box beside where the eggs were and has stayed there all day. I stuck my hand under her to see if she had any eggs, and there were none, but she immediately did the broody shuffle (on my hand) and grumbled when I disturbed her. If she stays there all day tomorrow, I'll collect the eggs for the day, add them to the ones I was collecting for my incubator and give them to her she sticks to her nest and wants some chickies!!!

Just wondering...? If I isolate my once broody then give her some eggs do you think she will go broody again? I am wanting to see if she will hatch any eggs. She was broody all winter long, just recently she stopped "brooding". So should I have any luck?
