I'm still losing some. Three little ones in the last 4 days. I culled a sick one today. I'm going to have to cull them if they act sick until I get it handled.

Best hatch ever so far. It's day 20 and I just put 21 in the brooder and I have two more in the bator with 5 more eggs. Sad thing is I don't know what they are. I've gotta try to remember where I got these eggs.

Chickens. There wonderful but they are animals. Set in there ways. I have EE's with my PRIR's. They are jumped on all the time. But they have each other. If she is liking the younger rooster let them. There will always be the one at the bottom of the picking order. They get treated like crap. Get run off from the food and water etc. It's just the nature of the wild. I keep telling people they are not dogs and cats. There chickens. They have there way. And actually they understand. As much as we don't want to. As long as she's healthy I would let them be. Put a new one in. Then she won't be at the bottom. And guess what will happen. She will pick the new and treat it like crap. That's just the way they are. Welcome to the life of chickens!!

Thanks, that gives me an idea; I have two broody girls that I can take out and break of their broodiness, then they will hopefully be on the bottom and my sweet RIR will be able to hang out with her mean girlfriends again, lol.
