How have you got on? I’m in a quandary..4 eggs in the incubator then given six eggs from a neighbour 5 days later… I think easier if I take the original four out and put under broody hen!

I’m just hopping on here as I’m asking same kind of question.. I have three ten week old chicks. They were in a pen within the enclosure with mum. Had to let the mum out as she was fed up. Now I want to open the door and let the chicks out. One appears to be a rooster..will that be ok with my...

Ha ha no it’s just me and my husband and he didn’t. I thought I’d worked out who lay what but this is definitely thrown me. The two brown hens laid green, the two speckled grey laid brown and Frida and the now deceased Florence laid pink. Well the brown hen was separated from the others rearing...
