    Congratulations for successfully hatching your own chickens. I don't want to offend you nor anyone else here. But this is the reality of the situation. Chickens, like most animals, hatch at a ratio of roughly 50:50. It can occasionally be skewed largely female and just as often, skewed largely...

    Thank you. The friend I'm speaking of is totally deaf and she moved back to Koblenz to care for her mother a little over 2 years ago upon her partner's death. But since she lived in Huddersfield for a few years, I thought anyone who lived there may have encountered them if only by chance. Her...

    Thanks for responding. Nice to meet you. Are you in town or on the outskirts? The reason I asked for people who live there is because I'm looking for information about a friend who lived there for a few years. A woman I know was living with her partner of several years till his death about 2.5...

    Thanks but that's probably too far away for what I need. I'm looking for someone who has been living in Huddersfield for a few years up until 2 years ago. Perhaps I should embrace facebook more than I have up till now.

    There is no more formidable foe in the chicken world than a broody hen protecting her chicks. Noe of the other hens will mess with them and by the time the broodies when the chicks, they will be accepted as members of the flock. I wanted to add that in the last 2 or 3 winters I've had hens and...

    The hens will do it all. Hens have been raising chicks on their own in all kinds of weather for millions of years - that was before heat lamps. I've had hens hatch and brood chicks down as low as -5C. When it got colder than that I did hang a heat lamp above the food and water so when the...

    I would just mark the fertile eggs under the hens in case they are the same color as those your birds are laying so you can remove volunteers. Other than that, the hens do all the work.

    Well then you should get a good hatch rate if the eggs aren't too old.

    If the hens aren't broody now, you can't be assured they will sit on the eggs. Do you have an incubator?
