Any strong opinions moving a broody hen to her own coop to hatch eggs? I am worried if I move her she might break her broodiness. The hens all seem to get along normally.
Can I brood the together? They will be hatching this Friday. I was planning on feeding the chicks medicated feed. If I can't brood together that's fine because I have a second brooder but it would be easier to brood together.
Looking for a hatchery. Will be incubating ducks and chickens together but would like to move the chickens out of incubator into a hatchery. Anyone use an easy to clean and inexpensive hatchery? Using Brinsea incubator. I do know that an incubator is also a hatchery but as I stated I am...
Great! The kids and I would like to hatch 6 chickens and 6 ducks. We will do each set individually. I am willing to spend upwards of $150.00 on an incubator. Any thoughts on which one to buy?
Thanks,

My young hen laid her first two eggs this week on Monday and one on Tuesday. But nothing today. This is my first hen to lay. Should I be worried that no egg was laid today? I thought I read something about prolapse??? I just thought once they start laying they pretty much continue for a year...
