    Broody Hen Thread!

    We have a Buff Orpington that went broody yesterday. My son came in from gathering eggs and said she wouldn't move. Today she is still sitting in the same nesting box.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    One of our pullets laid her first egg today but it has no shell! I think it was either one of the buff orpingtons or Rhode Island reds.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I posted our two Roos for free on Craigslist last night for free and had 7 replies within a couple hours. A couple came today and took Bubba and Cinnamon to their farm where they can be as noisy as they want. These folks are wanting to get fertilized eggs. We will miss our boys but glad I found...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I'm needing to rehome two roosters. 1 year old white rock his name is Bubba and a 4 month old Easter Egger named Cinnamon. We live in town and can't keep them. We live just south of Findlay. They are free.

    Surprise Babies!

    Sad to say we lost one of the babies during the night. I noticed yesterday it wasn't quite as active as the others but I hoped momma would nurse it and perk it up. But it was laying at the opposite end of the nest lifeless when we checked on them. The other three look plump and wiggly this...
