Happy birthday to Ini Mini!

Glad you're back home safe and everything's OK, hopefully you can keep Tintin for a bit so he can pass on his genes

Same here

Rest as much as you can, BDutch, wishing both you and TinTin the best while you take a small break from posting :hugs

If no eggs are trying to pip, or are viable, I'd remove the eggs. If mum doesn't budge after a few hours, I'd place her and the chick out of the nest, and close access to it

Thoroughly enjoyed reading updates from this thread, hopefully this year you'll have healthy chicks born once again

Honestly, I don't know. I've only had one broody. Cruella is SUPER scared of me. Like she doesn't like me at all. While she was broody however, she would even let me hand feed her and her chicks. She'd peck me from time to time, but that's just her being a good mother. Her chicks turned out just...

That cat needs to leave:rant

I'd always vote in favor of a mom sitting

I'd bet on the cat. We have one running around as well. I don't like having him around. The LF's don't care about him at all. I've even seen the brahma dust bathing while the cat is sitting right next to them. The bantams...is another story. Especially the serama, they HATE him. He has tried to...

Don't. It won't serve you any good right now. We can protect our birds to the best of our abilities, worry about keeping them healthy while they're alive, but when they have passed it doesn't help them nor us to feel bad for what we didn't do. We just have to focus on what we can do to prevent...

Oh no! I'm so so sorry. First Chef, now Abby:hugs. You must feel heartbroken, but don't blame yourself, this isn't your fault

I see, sorry for the confusion

Are the Sussex the next breed due to the neighbor's Sussex :D ?

I'm going to miss this thread. It was nice getting an update, watching this cute little flock of wonderful bantam breeds evolve :hugs

Oh my, I'm so so sorry. I don't know what to say:(:hmm:hugs:hugs:hugs

Hoping for the best possible outcome :hugs !

Could they have been scared by a predator? Young birds are pretty iffy with their roosting spots, but the old birds don't change as easily

Oh no! Is she gone for sure? Could she have flown somewhere? I'm so so sorry :hugs
