I have an Olive Egger that has been sitting for 11 days. In all this time, I have never seen her off the nest. She has 5 eggs under her. Sometime today, she moved to another nest with at least one egg. Don't know how long she's been off the original nest, but was on it about 7:00 this...
I've been raising chickens for about two years, and just love them. I started with Rhode Island Reds, but now have 1 Ideal 365, 3 Jersey Giants, 2 Olive Eggers, and 3 Easter Eggers that are laying. My babies are Cuckoo Marans, Olive Eggers and Welbars.
Oh, I have a gorgeous Rhode Island Red...
