Hand feeding my broody Samara a bit of apple. I'm being offered free hatching eggs...doubt hubby will go along with it but the thought is there.
She's a much more angry broody than Morinth was.
Hopefully you can stock back up on your vacation. 😉🙄
Later this week I have to go to the feed store after kiddos dr appointment. Going to get a bag of full plume and if there are clearance priced chicks...well Morinth is still a broody buttcheeks...
Nah probably won't. Hubby just got me a 3d...
Oh I doubt hubby will let me, he told me no about a free! Blue laced wyandotte rooster.
I have neighbors and family with roosters so if I asked I could get some barnyard mixes to put under her.
On desktop, install Tampermonkey and then search "adblock thing" and install that. You'll get little flashes in the video where it skips ads, occasionally shows a frame or two but it works. On all three of my computers right now.
When running youtube, hit the addon/mod button and load...
Thank you. I'm going to try to preserve some this year
:confused:
Ope, they are marigolds. Someone must have switched the little cards at the farm stand haha.
Samara spends half the day like this, but is back to her normal self the other half.
Blackberry flowers. With how wet this spring has been, we'll have a great harvest.
My nasturtiums
Samara does that! I could have sworn she was broody buttcheeks these past few days but then later on she's out rummaging around with the rest and doesn't go back to the nests.
I had TWO ticks on me today, bluck.
Dad and I were talking about guineas, and we couldn't figure out how we'd keep them on our properties. I did read this funny article on them though.

Went to check the chickens, Samara had all six eggs plus a ceramic under her magnificent floof. She is bigger than her sister Morinth so I guess I'm not surprised. I'm sure Morinth would have tried to incubate that many too haha.
Welp, whatever is going on is asymmetrical. I'm leaning towards she's been plucked on one side and maybe fat jiggly. Unfortunately a whole lot of health issues are happening with the family so I haven't gotten to go out and sit with my ladies. Maybe Sunday...that would be a nice mothers day...
He said he's sorry he couldn't get me the 5ft tall one! But this smaller fella is perfect for my back porch 🥰
My dog was totally fine with it surprisingly, and he hates everything.
The cotton ball in question:
I think she decided me pulling her off the nest means no broody time? We'll see if it lasts.
She's got flockmates to beat up after all

This is the current news, they seem to have removed the lines about home flock sales being banned.
