Sounds like you should file some sort of complaint and have the other girl do the same. With things like this it seems the only option is to confront it, though I would fear being sued for slander or something ridiculous like that by the doctor.

All this broody talk seems fitting. I have about 5 girls trying very hard to set. I lost a hen (one of my australorps, not a Marans) for 3 days and couldnt find her, I feared she was taken by something... but yesterday night I heard some crazy noises and found her sitting on 17 eggs. I hoped...

I agree. I have told Merrymouse the very same thing haha. She is a gorgeous pullet.

She may be getting up because she feels as if the eggs are getting too hot. I've hatched under a broody in 20 F degree weather where the mom almost never got up. And I have also hatched a batch in the middle of summer, at 100 F degree temps where mom had to constantly get up to keep her eggs...

Thank you! I'm not familiar with the breeder you mention, I'll have to look into that.

The one on the right of this photo is one of my favorites. She is a quite nicely colored pullet. Here she is on the left. (side note - the muddy faced pullet is the one my dog got ) You can see my favorite girls in the center here. I'll get more photos tonight, gonna pick everyone up...

You're right about them being chunky haha. They look good. Not her fault, she doesn't know better (hunting breed). She is a good dog, minds well when I am there to oversee her. No worries, Chooks man. Hopefully it will cooperate enough to get you around BYC today.

Yesterday I got some sand for the chickens, they spent all day enjoying it. When I was working in the pens I let the marans into their "grazing space", I finished up and went inside for a bit. I made a error and forgot to bring the dogs inside, 1 of my young dogs ended up killing one of my...

Many of the my pullets have begun laying, egg color is promising with everyone so far. They are 23 weeks old, I believe almost all of them have laid at least 6-7 eggs. I want to start penning them up individually for a week each, this should help me determine egg color and give me a chance to...

I'm glad that everyone is doing well and is still as active as ever on this thread. I'm excited to return to start sharing/learning with you all. I would explain my absence but it is quite a long story, perhaps I will share bits and pieces along the way. Shortly I will be sharing some quality...

I have had that happen before, it's one of those things that makes me paranoid for some time. Were both eggs Gabby's or had another girl pitched in? She must have really wanted some privacy while she brooded those eggs out of sight. Gabby is just one of those creatures. She stands out from...

Some informal pictures of my 11 week old group. A few of the girls have good color on their hackles, I will be taking some proper photos of the best looking ones quite soon. In about a week I will be letting them out to forage. They were just moved into a new coop so they need some...

I only have about 20 chickens that need to be kept track of at the moment, if I have more I may change my system to something that is more definitive later on (like numbered leg bands). For now I use a colored zip tie system, Chooks man uses something similar for his chicks if I remember...

Hooray for the new year! It is only fitting that are overseer leads the way into a new year haha, we will catch up. It's only about 14 more hours until we see the new year in the US.

Sorry, I accidentally double posted .

I agree, this is a gorgeous pullet. She was even a beauty as a chick. She is a great representation of the breed.

Thanks, I always appreciate having a second opinion.

Here is one of the chicks that just looks odd, he is the only one with that eye color and with white on the breast. His beak is horn colored, he is just kind of weird. I know which hen he is from and he is the only one I hatched from her (dad was his half uncle). His mom has white on the ear...

Here are a few pics of the other pullet of my bunch. She is Pullet 2, she wouldn't stop moving and then decided she would just sit down instead. She is a very fat chick, I like her personality. I think she has the wrong eye color though.

Thank you all for the compliments on my chicks. I am grateful that I have quite a few that are coming along really nicely. Chooks man, I am happy to see that your hatches are coming along nicely. Hopefully the site will sort itself out soon and you can share photos of your chicks with all of us.
