I had 21 go into lockdown last night... 3 Silkie crosses, 3 EE's, and the rest are Spitzhauben crosses... Hoping for some chickies by the end of the weekend"
!!!
Can I join in?? I set 36 eggs 8 days ago. I candled last night and I have several clears. I won't take them out yet... Don't quite trust myself until day 10 or 14...
I don't recall my broody ever having a bald spot... I had to put my two broodys in their own brooders, separate from each other and from the other chickens. One of them was (and still is) awesome at staying with her eggs, but the other was always getting off. It helped to keep her on her...
