I wish I could keep chickens like this. Roosters, broody hens sitting on eggs, just letting them live a bit wild. But sadly I can’t do that in our neighborhood. My girls have to be contained and we can’t have a rooster. It sounds so exciting when folks like you describe their visits with their chickens.Rounds made in the dark and all the doors closed. I've got to look for a New Hampshire cockerel. He is missing at coop check tonight. I hope he just chose a new place to roost with a new girlfriend. It's plenty to cool enough tonight to wait til noon tomorrow to gather eggs. Much to my delight I have a Dark Cornish hen setting on eggs tonight. Wish it was one of the Delaware or Rode Island girls for temperament but we take what we can get. Time to check the incubator and see how many more mouths to feed have decided to hatch. So far just 2.
