A lot of hens are starting to go broody right now. My Asil decided to go broody right on top of a Cubalaya/AGF hen. They seem to be peacefully sharing the old nesting box

I'm waiting on eggs down here. Everybody got nesting boxes last week so next step is eggs.

Big Red's daughter has been laying for a couple of weeks. Hoping she'll go broody in the summer

At first I thought there were three with one just being totally squished under everyone else.

Wait, there aren't three in there ?

I think there are three: two dark heads on one side, and a light tail on the other side. The tail does not seem to belong to either head.

It doesn't. I have a hen with a tail like that.

Saipan Junglefowl would make a very interesting mix. As far as I'm aware they're the only feral Malayoid out there. You may end up making an ideal genetic foundation for an American malayoid landrace

Around 80 years ago the US Army wanted to create a feral chicken for North America but their project that used bankivoid Red Junglefowl failed. Only one small town in Georgia has survivors from the project. All others died

Maybe a Malayoid could make it

I've ordered 10 Saipans and hopefully at least 4 will be pullets that Legs can have 2 of and 2 can be bred to Saipan hopefully to increase his harem size. I'd like for him to have 4 or 5 girls to pal around with him. They will not make it here until the last week in June so this is not a short term project.

I brought Legs in tonight for a lap session. He enjoyed a half slice of bread as a treat and then I showed him his picture when he was sitting in my lap. He was not the least impressed with another rooster in my lap.... I tried.

I have enough Dark Cornish eggs to fill a 41 egg incubator now and will set it by tomorrow night. The pullets will be bred to either a Saipan rooster or a BBR Aseel if they become available again.
