My first broody hen off the nest had hatched 6 leaving 2 eggs cold in the nest last night, When I got off work I went and checked and she has adopted 2 from the other Hen that was still in the nest I took her out and put 8 more chicks on the ground with her so they have 8 each now for 16 total they are soo cute LOL, She still had 6 eggs that I brought in and candled all 6 have movement in them so they are in the incubator now, No idea how far along they are they must have been laid by other hens after she started setting, I'm not putting them on the turner just setting them in the bottom so I have my fingers crossed, I guess thats all the more reason to have seperate hatchers without turners just to be a little more flexable in a case like that. I also have 2 more hens going broody, I will have to set some eggs in nests and hope they take to them.

Need advice on a 1 month old BRLW chick. It is lethargic...was active this morning and at noon. Have it in the house now under a light. Because the crop didn't feel normal, used a syringe to give water and gave a mash mix of honey, yogurt and med chick feed with water to soften. Anything else I can do for now?

I think it was Peaches that asked about sexing the pigeons? I was talking to a guy today that has doves he says take your finger and place it between the legs close to the vent the hens will have a space wide enough to fit your finger between the bones and a male won't have that, I'm pretty sure that pigeons and doves would be much the same so maybe that might be a way to tell.

I raise lovebirds and that is supposed to be the way to tell sex on them too. 50 - 50 on young birds. Female birds will have a wider pelvic spread than males but usually closer to breeding age.
