Broodies, Broodies, everywhere....not a hen to lay. An over exaggeration, of course, but lots of grumpy broody hens.

yup, regular rabbit waterers with the ball. I want another one....I LOVE it!

DH built "the condo" for cockerels, also works great as a brooder.

Congrats! So much fun!

My little blue Silkie Hen, Iris, has decided that she wants to be a Mamma. She has been setting and setting, I finally gave her 4 eggs this morning. I checked the nests this afternoon, and she now has 8. Little Rascal!

Oh no! I am so sorry for your loss....Hope you get it.

I went to TSC and got sucked into the baby craze! Came home with 6 Khaki Cambells. Don't really know how that happened... They'll have to get used to us, they are ever so skittish. I am used to silkie chicks flocking to me the second they see me. Are there any treats that they will...

Us too....big fat flakes, just enough to dust. The girls and I were out kite flying earlier today, it was sunny and "warm...er". Too bad this weather can't make up its mind. Come on spring!

I agree! A couple of mind controlling silkies should do the trick!

Thanks! Orion (the boy) just kind of fell in my lap.

Julia and her only chick that hatched over the weekend. I had a few in the incubator that hatched over the weekend as well, I'm going to try giving them to her tomorrow night. My grow out pen.....sassy little munkins.

Yes, he is ADORABLE!!! I love that kind of curiousity.

I love this pic! Would be great as a profile photo.

You are certainly not selfish for wanting to be a SAHM. I often find that SAHM's don't get the credit that they deserve. I get alot of flack for being a SAHM, and it amazes me that some people genuinly thing SAHM are dumb and incapable of working. Obviously, these are small minded people, but...

Julia, my lovely white broody, officially pecked me today for attempting to snatch an egg out from under her. I was glad to see a little attitude Although, "Miss America" keeps sneaking into the nest and laying.

Beautiful!

These are adorable! My MIL has blue eggs, I may give these as easter gifts for my daughter's teachers.

Great Article! Thanks. Thanks for your feedback. Julia is not the alpha hen in that pen, so I'm not sure how the other hen will react, and if Julia will set her straight. She is pretty docile and timid, as this is her first time broody. I have seen the rooster still *try* to breed her...

Thanks, I am pretty excited to have a hen doing the work for me. Julia is still in the pen with the rooster and another hen, should I remove her and the eggs from the pen or the other two birds so Julia won't be disturbed? Or can they all just stay where they are, will the other two be ok...

Nope, no sump pump.
