I assume you're talking about the US. So that's winter. I'd say you've got roughly 5-7 months to wait before a hen goes broody.Nope. I live on the East Coast.
More Waiting . Ugh.So that's winter. I'd say you've got roughly 5-7 months to wait before a hen goes broody.
Might as well get used to it?More Waiting . Ugh.
I am. Been waiting for years.Might as well get used to it?
At least she didn’t press all the buttons!Like most two year olds, she was holding on tight throughout the elevator ride and at the point of disembarking, as the elevator rolled away beneath her, a mild panic set in and she gave me a few scratches.
"Accidentally"
Oh, she pressed them alright!!At least she didn’t press all the buttons!
But their feet are also warm and surprisingly soft. They feel wonderful when the grip you firmly but not too tight. Maleficent and Daisy, the greatest hen ever, knew just how to do it.Alarmingly strong little feet and legs!
That's a bit of an over estimate. You could see one in late April and May is certainly in play. So 2.5 to 3 months. That's not so long.More Waiting . Ugh.
Excellent recycling there Scrambles. You could also use them to block off part of a garden that you want to grow back too.So someone was throwing away these panels in my street so I grabbed them. Could screw them together for a future chick pen extension on the old coop…

The farm lady I got the girls off has messaged to say she doesn’t know who’s laying or how fertile the eggs she has are because her girls are starting to moult but if I want some bitsa eggs to try and get Belle to hatch I can have them for nothing.
I’m waiting to see Belle’s staying power this time around while I think about it
Don’t want to rush in but I also want to give Belle what she seems to really REALLY want!
Damn these ladies are hard, figure I’m letting her sit this time anyway but I can’t be home the whole time during her ordeal which has me indecisive about the operation.
The eggs, if I choose to get them, may not be viable anyway.
What if Aunty Snow pecks them to death.
What if Belle does.
*sigh*
Your experience MJ has both inspired me and put me off the idea. I’m sorry egg no.2 isn’t looking like hatching
I also think about @BY Bob’s Mal and the possibility something could happen to Belle before next season and I’ll never get to give her the chance and it saddens me as I know Bob felt with Mal.
I know you like long posts but I’m sorry for thinking aloud so much.
