JUNE - JULY HATCH-ALONG!!!!!!!

[Mixed flock enthusiast]

So, I don't know if anyone can help me, but I am adding a BLRW roo to one of my pens, and the roo that is in there hasn't messed with him at all, and he's like 7 mos old, but the hens are messing him up. Is there anything I can do to fix that, and the 2 hens that are the meanest to him are the 2 I want to breed with him.

If you really want to breed him, you might need to remove the other roo...

Welp, my broody is done. 4 Black Copper Marans, and a splash copper maran. The BCM with the broken leg is doing ok, it kinda just wabbles wherever it needs to go. But 5 eggs out of 7 eggs is amazing for me! That's the best hatch I've had for a long time! The other 2 eggs were just duds.

Three pips under mama so far. I’m so excited and nervous— my first hatch!!! How are you guys so patient? I can hardly wait for babies!

Congrats on the hatch! You should be able to put some vet wrap/med wrap (the stuff that sticks to itself without adhesive) on the chick with splay leg for a day or two to fix it. It's better to fix it sooner than later. I just recently fixed what seemed like a moderate case of splay leg on a peachick with the med wrap thanks to jolenesdad. It worked waaay better than the straw and rubber band trick.

Yay! It shouldn't be too much longer now! It always seems like they hatch faster under a broody hen. I look forward to seeing pictures!
