Hen sitting on eggs in winter

Isn’t it amazing how chickens go broody during the cold weather?  I would think they would just want to hatch out during the spring.  Well, I have a Silkie sitting right now and another trying to be broody….I say trying because I keep stealing her eggs.

Trinidad had six eggs under her to start with but now only has four.  The good news is they are my Barred Rock eggs which is what I really want to hatch.  Now that I have a beautiful rooster, I am eager to get some babies from him.  I bought a hen with him and she is a also gorgeous.

I wanted to again tell you how friendly I have found “chicken” people to be.  This lady (and her husband) whom we got the above rooster and hen from are so nice.  They GAVE us elk meat and deer meat.  Now, I did not cook the meat but my sister-in-law cooked it and feed it to my husband.  lol  He loved it.  Not me, I didn’t even try it.

Well, I will let you know if I get some baby chicks.  I may let the other hen start sitting, too.  I have heat lamps so I can keep my mommies and babies warm.  But, just a reminder, don’t let both mommas sit in the same area because they will fight over the babies and even kill the babies.  I don’t know if that is a normal thing to happen but it happened to me with two Silkie moms.  I let my broody hen sit for about a week or so before I move the mom and her eggs to a “maternity ward” away from the other hens.

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Madden, Mississippi Baby chicks are extremely charming as well as difficult to resist, however it's best to prepare for their arrival prior to you get them.

Line it with old towels and also blankets (without any loosened strings!) to begin, and also after a couple of weeks utilize straw over paper. Note: Avoid making use of only paper or other sandal surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow malformed. You additionally require something to dish out food as well as water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar lid for food as well as an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Likewise, as the chicks get older you could introduce a perch into the habitat to get them educated on setting down. Heat To maintain your chicks heat you have to provide them with a warmth resource. This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb also function effectively (my referral). Chicks need this warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is replaced with feathers (which can occupy to two months). The newly hatched need a temperature level in between 90 and 100 degrees, and also each week this can be lowered by approximately 5 degrees approximately.

The chicks are your finest thermostat- if they are concealing in the opposite edge of your heat light, you should reduce the temperature level. If they are surrounding each other under the warmth (not just curling up), you should include some warmth. Home cleaning Sanitation is essential and it maintains your chicks healthy and balanced. Make sure to alter the bed linens frequently and constantly give clean food as well as water Food and water. Chicks grow very quick which requires plenty of tidy food as well as water. Supply sufficient at all times and examine usually to prevent dehydrated and also starving chicks.

Feed chick food for the very first two months, then switch over to a grower food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for an additional 2 months, then to a somewhat lower healthy protein feed or a level feed (if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks want to get a running start on taking dirt bathrooms, while others won't occupy that task until they are older. If you have the area in your chick enclosure, present a tray of sand or dirt for them to shower in. Focus and also love There are a couple of benefits to hanging out with your chicks. Firstly, they will probably bond with you and not flee as adults. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily as well as view their habits, you could capture illness or various other troubles earlier. Keep an eye out for wheezing, limping, or other harmful indicators. Make sure to likewise look at their poop, as diarrhea could result in matted feathers and clogged up cloaca.
