Question?

[Cheri]

If my hens set eggs, can't I just let them hatch there? Do I HAVE to bring them in? Or can I just let nature takes it's course. Now mind you Im in Texas and the weather is pretty warm right now.


edited for missing a word.

Yup, you can leave them there. The mother hen shouldl take care of them. They should be fine. NOw if i could just get my hens to go broody.....

It is a lot less stressful on you-before and after the hatch- if you leave them!

Whew. I have 12 babies in the house and they just look miserable. The Anconas are too small for the big dog pen I kept the cockerals in. I am finding them so adorable!! They have itsy bitsy cartoonish looking faces.

Another Question?

How old are Roos when they start to crow? Mine are about 4-5 weeks old and they are still peeping. One of them actually cackles tho.
