I've got 11 chicks that are about to hatch on Wednesday. I also have two silkies, one male and female, who cannot find a place in the current flock. They're sweet, but the australorp pullets, which are not that much bigger, are really bossy and love to bully them around.

My Cochin bantam just started going broody and I'm thinking of getting her a saddle. She is getting covered much too often it seems, just look at her back!
Any suggestions?
