OKladoodle- The ones that have been sitting for a long time, you think the eggs are no good? My husband is worried there chicks in them, but it has been way over 21 days. They each have 2 under them. If I get get rid of the eggs, do you think the broodiness will go away?

Poultryand bees- I have water for the momma but she isn't drinking it much.

Does anyone else have chickens that don't seem to drink much water? My poor guys pant like crazy, but they have fresh water.

hi guys...hope everyone is staying cool- keep running outside to check on all of them- the coop inside is cool, but will they hangout there...nahhhhh....they'd rather roast...

are there any auctions close by? i really need to downsize.... just a bit

P&B, i finally doused a couple of mine and then got a milkbottle froze it and sat it in the water, so then they started drinking- so maybe they want chilled??

Panting and raising their wings to get air circulation under them is about the only way a hen can get rid of excess heat. If you don't want to candle the eggs to see if they are still viable, try removing one or two at a time and 1) smell them to see if they stink like a rotten egg and 2) let them cool off for about 30 minutes and then listen to the egg. As the egg cools, you may hear cheeping if there is a viable chick inside and they are close to hatch. I generally try to date eggs when I see a hen go broody so that I know if any new eggs have been added after the hen starts sitting and when to pull eggs that the hen won't give up on. (I learned that lesson the hard way

I certainly prefer MY water to be cold when I drink it

- stands to reason that the hens will drink more if it isn't as hot as the outside temperature. A frozen jug of ice in the water is a good idea.
 
Question for those of you who have raised muscovy ducks - do they "roam" very much or can they be confined to a fenced area? One of the reasons I like the runner ducks is because they tend to stay within a fenced area without feeling the need to explore the pasture on the other side of the fence. The runners also don't fly up into the stock tanks. Are muscovy ducks like runner ducks in that respect or would they tend to always be getting into the stock tanks on the other side of the fence? Curious minds who live close to the muscovy ducks for sale Harrah want to know.
