I put 5 eggs from a friend under a broody hen... 4 showed development when they were candled... This morning I had pipping.... And tonight I have chicks!!!
quick question... my husband purchased the fowl stuff nests for me... or I guess I should say for my girls... anyway... I put shavings in them... and when one of the girls got in there this morning, it seemed as if it might be "slippery"... any suggestion on nesting material for them...
Ok... First let me say... I look at my eggs when I crack them. Was poaching eggs this morning. Didn't notice anything when I cracked this one.... Cooked it like normal... Went to eat it... Ate first bite... Everything seemed normal. Second cut into the egg... And I found this...
I am currently "chicken sitting" for my mother. I have her two bantams. When can I introduce them into my flock (6 hens). They seem so small compared to my girls. But life would be so much "nicer" if they could all be together.
My girls....
Mom's two...
Thanks so much!!!
My mom has two babies.... They are bantams. Not sure what breed... Was wondering if it is too early to tell hens from roos??? It's hard to get a clear picture... They don't want to be still....
