Most chickens the broodiness has been breed out of them. So your chicken may not go broody again, I hope she does for you. If you want a chicken to do that the best one's to get are silkies.

I have some hens now but no rooster. As I was getting them out I saw a white one then remembered you can tell the different between them because the cockerals are white when they hatch. I thought they changes colors as their feathers came out. But they didn't they are still white. So could I...

I haven't been on here in a while and boy have things changes. I'm going to try and come back as chickens have come and gone. LOL I'll be back.

I just ordered 20 Golden Comets and deacon is right they lay great for 2 years then slow down. But they lay jumbo eggs and I keep mine as pets also, I let them free range to help with feed but in the winter mine did not do so good.

Well my friend needed some chicks so I gave her all of mine. I think I'm going to get some more Golden Comets if I still can. They lay great eggs.

Just an update on these. Mine lay Jumbo eggs. I had to buy egg cartons just to close the box and still some eggs are so big I can't close the Jumbo cartons. AND I got another on yesterday that was bigger then this one. Now they don't all lay them that big but that is my hand.

Here are my babies and a pic of an egg one of my hens laid. I just had to show it. lol

I'm so glad you said something about pasty butt I forgot all about it. Thanks I'm going to check mine.

I know it's hard to walk away but I have found most of the time I help they don't make it. BUT like emvickrey said walk away from the bator. lol I hope they make it for you.

I've had 8 out of 13 hatch so far and I think that's all I'm going to get. I will post pics a little. I don't think thats to bad for not being able to candle. Congrats to all you new mommies and daddy's out there. Here they are, 8 out of 13 I think that will be all I have.

I have one that hatched yesterday and 3 last night. Two more are pipping that I can see.

I'm on lock down. HOOT HOOT

It's been a long time since I put a picture on here but I'm going to try. Ok that was easy. The dog was not going after the chicken the chicken was going after the dog. lol

I'm sorry I haven't been on here much. I do stop in to read but I wanted to make sure I"m right, tomorrow is day 18 right?

Did you go to TS? I didn't know you could order them there now I need to stop and see if I can. Welsummers are the ones I should have in my bator but I only have EE's.
