Mine has learned better than to tell me I can't. He just tries to be logical about it. LOL Logic vs Crazy. Crazy wins, but logic niggles in the back of the mind. Especially when toting water in 90 degree heat and 80% humidity.

Yep. Feeling your pain...acutely. Hatched 27 yesterday and have 34 more in the incubator. DH is way over this...I've lost count.

So sorry. I have had the same thing happen and it was a snake. Caught him in the act. Hoping your survivors all hatch.

Are we twins?

They are adorable! Love those play yards.

So far, the Frisian's have been more disease resistant than any of my other breeds. Since these are just approaching POL, I cannot say from personal experience about egg laying yet. I have 18- 2 month olds, which I got as day olds, and haven't lost any or even had a runt. They have not had any...

Great idea! I will do that.

Yes, 2 pullets and 2 cockerels. The roosters are as friendly as the hens. I have the gold color too, but they are about 2 months old. I've been very impressed with them. They are hardy too. Here in the land of "everybody gets coccidia" they haven't been troubled or treated at all, either group...

I have found these wonderful chickens that almost nobody knows about and have no where to show them off! The Frisian thread is about 3 people and we already know about them, so here goes... These guys are calm, friendly, able to be penned up or free range. Forage well and are relatively quiet...

I think of crowing as the roosters song. I like it.

These are a few of the broody chicks from this Hatch a long- There were well over 50 from broodys this month.

Here is a picture from this morning of my double broodies. There are 8 babies that I have counted thus far in with them. I put them on the floor this morning because I didn't want the babies to fall off of the table the cat box was on is they hopped out.

I see chick starter, peas, spaghetti and maybe clover in the brooder? Is the dust bath dirt?

A few of my broody chicks-I have way over 50 and more hatching!

You have officially crossed the line. Now you will wonder how you didn't run both incubators at the same time all the time. Then you will accidentally mess up and order too many eggs and need a third incubator. Next thing you know you are looking at cabinets...Just saying

I SO feel your pain. Broodys and broody poop everywhere. I think we are twins.

In some ways it's cool. In other ways it's a PIA! My feed room has over reactive hens in it, I can't get to or do anything without a bunch of drama. Broody poop stinks. My egg business is shot and I have to deal with getting the rotten eggs out because it SMELLS SO BAD! One broody would...

Well, some of my now 14 broodies have begun to hatch their chicks. Broody #1 is a 2 year old Cuckoo Marans, her first hatch ever. She abandoned her chicks after hatch. I was able to save 2. Broody #2 is a repeat broody, white marans. She managed to have 3 live chicks, but it looked like she...

She looks just like Sally!

Since SFH's all look different it is difficult to tell, but definitely a possibility. They can even be white or brown. Yellow and black or blue are normal colors though.
