Eglu Cube Coop For Sale

[Mollie333]

Yayyyy! I'm so happy. My mum has finally agreed, once the WIR is finished, that i can hatch some chicks under Effy.

She is broody at the moment, but im afraid she wont be broody when i can hatch. Shall i break the broodyness? and hope she goes broody in about 2 weeks? she is bald underneath .

also what can i put in the water to help feathers grow back. ?

also, any breeds you reccomend?

[meezers]

I would break the broodyness now, otherwise it's a long time to expect her to stay broody and then sit on eggs for 3 weeks. If she's anything like my silkie, she will go broody like clockwork- Muppet had 3 weeks broody, 3 weeks not broody but not laying,2 or 3 weeks laying and then broody again - I could guess more or less to the day when she would go broody. I wouldn't worry about the feathers- she'll only pluck them again when she's next broody

she wont break.

tried several times. shes stuck there. eating normally and is still a plump little pekin, i gues she'll be ok, im trying to break it, though. i could always get a incy.

You'll need to get a separate coop for her away from the others while she's sitting and for a few weeks after they hatch, or will she be in one of the coops the others are in now? - I'd break her and hope another will be broody in a few weeks

If you think the WIR will be ready in 2 weeks, you could always set some eggs under her now ... 'cos they take 3 weeks to hatch

 

Buying an incy will be expensive, and you'll also have to buy a brooder, heat lamp/electric hen and then have to keep them inside for 5/6 weeks .... using a broody seems more special too

[Mollie333]

Will be done in a few weeks yes.

Im just looking at Pages Poultry to see what they have..

Thats a good list! - I'd get the underlineds

I wouldn't get quail - need a different set up and they can't FR 'cos they'll just fly off.

 

Go through and see if any are on your want list, then get rid of any that wouldn't suit your set up/are like the ones you already have.

Oh i'm good at copy and pasting .

I like the sound of Buff Columbian Orpington and Lemon Cuckoo Orpington, but in no way could i keep them cause i apparently have not got enough room. So medium sized or banties for me! Blue Laced wyandottes look nice, too. well she normally has more stock when i get there so ill just wait and see what happens, ill probably come back with some that i didn't have any intention of buying, as for quail.. well no i don't think i want quail.
