The Happy Chicken Coop Question of the day

[LoveChickens27]

Sorry I've been absent. If you want to get someone's atrention you have to "tag" them. Put an @ symbol before their name with no space afterward, and spell it accurately. BYC will help you if you get it started right.

So here you go:


Probably 6 or 7. Usually 4 or 5 brown, 2 or 3 blue and 1 chocolate. That's what I've been getting lately.


Well that would be Shriek. She's a Prairie Bluebell Egger, looks like a Brown Leghorn, lays a blue egg and SCREAMS at me every morning while I clean the poop boards. Never knew a chicken had such loud pipes! She makes me laugh.

LOL!
Thanks for the valuable information!

Okay, my answer.

Have you hatched your own chicks?

With an incubator?

No.

With a hen?

Yes.

How many chicks did you hatch?

5, but we got 2 boys, so we had to put them down.
We started with 11 eggs though.

I hope you enjoy this question of the day!

We hatched 2 with a hen in ‘21, a boy and a girl
and 4 in march two roos and two hens (also with a hen, the same one)

We tried incubating a couple years ago but the egg turner was broke so we had to hand turn them, but we failed at that, and none of the eggs made it

The picture is the babies from this year!

Hatched my own chicks
With the same Wyandotte hen x 2 times, she goes broody 3 times now so far.
Bonus: Love caring for mother hen while she sits on her egg, and love watching her and her babies.
First time 2 chicks, second time 1
Total 3 chicks = 1 roo and 2 hens

Mother hen was so determined, endured, attentive to her kids and then pecked at her kids like they are her enemy at 5 week. Her kids are terrified of her, but still want to be somewhere near her, but not near enough to be pecked at violently. Now she goes broody again, I told her NO, she was lucky to had done is twice already. Someone else needs to experience it.
