Crossing the Road
Haha yeah, I have a couple of broodies like that! Dedicated in the heat of summer ! I figured Ameraucanas would not be quite as good at brooding, so it makes sense you have a Cochin too Those girls are just the most impressive broodies!! Only one of my Cochins does well as a mom too…the others are far more into the brooding part only My Silkie is the super Mom. She will mom anything.Aww he's adorable! My broody girl is a bantam frizzle cochin! My splash Ameraucana has gone broody twice but she's very flaky with it and gets bored fast lol. The cochin on the other hand is insanely dedicated to the point where she brooded straw for a month and a half... I can finally let her hatch this year because we live on 5 acres now so I have a lot more space for chickens compared to our old house (we had a city limit of 4 hens, I was over it already with 6 haha). I'm debating on whether I want to let her hatch some wheaten Ameraucanas or olive eggers in late summer.
I’m soooo jealous—5 acres!! I cannot wait to move onto more land. I’m so tired of doing the mental math dance of how many can we handle on our 1/3 acre lot. You definitely need some wheatens
