Hi everyone.
I've had chickens now for about 7 months and they've all grown well and are healthy and happy. I have 19 boschvelders and a few hatchlings on the way and two Silkies. The Silkies are younger than the boschvelders but they're all getting along.
It's been an interesting and entertaining journey so far as I've never had chickens before. I could sit for hours watching them run around catching bugs and scratching the ground. And the dust baths are soooo cute.
I found BYC while browsing for answers to my MANY questions when i just started out and the advice I've read on this forum has been very helpful. ..thanks.
I do have a concern about my silkie hen...some of my boschvelders have laid fertile eggs in her coop and she's become broody and is sitting on the eggs...she's barely 5 months old...should i leave her to hatch the eggs or take them from her?
Thanks,
T
