Hi everyone. Quick question about my Chicken. She has just started laying eggs and has had a hard time with it (usually has a little blood afterwards) figured it's normal at first? Then a few days ago it looked like her insides were sort of out a bit but then my husband saw them sort of go...

Good Morning! I am in Southwestern NH and we've only had our chickens for about a year. We did a late hatch in August using a hen and only had one chick hatch. My husband and I want to try again this year, but earlier, we're just not sure when it's ok to start letting a hen lay on the eggs in...

We have the rooster in the freezer, but I don't know how to cook it up. Would it be the same as regurlar chicken? Is the meat tough? I was thinking of just boiling it up to make stock and then use the meat for a stew, but I don't know if that would be the best way to cook it. Any...

I checked the eggs with the hen this morning and saw another one was hatching. I peeked in after Church and it was still pecking and making it's way out. I just went out to check progress and it looks like the chicken isn't moving and there's blood on the shell and around the area. Do chicks...

When our hen went broody and we decided to let her sit on eggs we didn't separate her from the others, she would just sit in the nesting box and they would leave her alone. Her first egg started hatching last night and completely hatched this morning. I took the other hens and rooster out of...

Someone had mentioned on another post of mine to check the eggs in water and see if they move at all as a sign that they may still be alive and hatch. I did that the other day and thought I saw one move so I decided not to toss the eggs and wait it out. This morning we had our first ever egg...

We are about 24 days into letting her sit with no baby chicks hatching. We have lost 3 eggs in the last few days. Today I accidentally dropped one, but there wasn't anything but runny yolk inside (and it smelled bad!) She pecked one open the other day and there was mushy yellow in it and a...

Our rooster is mean! When we first got him he wasn't so bad, and actually the hens were a bit mean to him and wouldn't let him get any of the scraps we threw out to them. But within a month or so he got all big and tough and has come after me and my husband. They're in a coop so he's not...

We're new to this, and so far haven't had any luck. We didn't have a good system of marking eggs and keeping track of time at first, but we did sort of start to figure things out. It's been about 23 days since we marked a set of 14 eggs for the hen to sit on and we still don't have any...
