    Thank you I don’t know yet, the last two eggs were put under my broody hen two days after the other eggs so if everything goes well they should hatch. I think one of them might be a dud though because it isn’t getting the best spot under my hen like the other egg😊 I guess only time will tell

    Agreed, and honestly I would feel the same coming to a new place and the first night in a whole new place your only friend gets taken away from you and eaten right in front of you. she had a horrible experience but after she got another friend she is almost over it😊

    No no, it’s a normal coop with wire around it, we just had to build a little to the coop and add some more shade so thats why it looks like that, we don’t have that coop anymore as it was destroyed so now they are in a 100% predictor proof coop😊 If you meant their indoor coop then yes it’s...

    Yes, the coop they were in when it happened was a coop we build just for them to be in for about 2 weeks until we could rule out any diseases they could have. Last year we had pheasant in that area for 10 weeks and nothing happened to them so we thought that area was safe. They are now going to...
