    Mixing 6-Week-Old Chicks with Newborns

    Some work, some don't. Obvious signs to watch: chasing, excessive pecking. I've only had one group not mix very well- with olders or youngers (they were our middle trio, and we tried to put them with two other groups but they isolated themselves)

    Broody hen will not leave the nest

    I totally get that. Our first broody and hatch, there was a slightly cracked one, viable and I was trying to wax it to see if it'd make it...and I crushed it, I wasn't even holding it tight or roughly, just a bit softer egg. I felt so bad but I know I learned from it. Candling does get easier...

    Pullets together

    Suggestion also you have lots of places to hide just in case, to break line of sight, or boards that are like lean tos in the edges.

    Local Fresh Eggs Help with Allergies

    No study here but about a month or two ago we started putting one egg each in our dogs foods, one who has major allergies, had to have medicine. Well, when we ran out I noticed he doesn't have the itchies or the stinkies. Thats all that has changed for the poor guy and I call it a win. Also my...

    Broody hen will not leave the nest

    I have a thread where I followed our broody journey. She'd get off the nest first thing or a couple hours into the day, but we never saw her but a handful of times. There were a few times she got off for over four hours and went back. Her eggs were good to go because another girl was laying in...

    Broody hen left her eggs

    Our broody was always on a different nest as we didn't separate her so when she got off to eat another hen would hope up and add more. I've read a hen can be off for 8 or more hours give or take and eggs will still hatch. I'd just gently move our Mama back to the correct nest and she'd be fine...
