Cornish bantams and Phoenix also are stupid broody a lot of times. They're the ones I use a lot. My araucana also love it, but they're still kinda new

Same. I have had a few problems with individuals genetics wise, but other than that, mine are probably some of the most stable birds I have currently

Yes, so long as it isn't a blue that's so dark it looks black

The bottom pullet, why is she not a keeper? Is it just her back?

Yep. Just like my Japanese rabbits with white markings. Nothing but cull material, but dang it if they weren't always adorable

That third one down is adorable.

I've decided that when I eventually move, I'll have to find somewhere to take process birds. Even if I don't get them back afterwards, the way you talk about it makes it seem so nice.

Gosh I wish I had someone that could just do mine for me. I'd probably be at least 30 birds less as soon as I could. My chickens can't leave the property though, so I can't do that

Ihave to get numbers down too. This weekend will not be fun with that and the weather

What do you like more about her?

Pipd, how did you find your person to deal with the extra males, if you don't mind my asking?

Offer it to Athena and watch for a short while. If anything seems nervous after that time, take it to the brooder. I have a white phoenix that does the same thing. She had a head injury from a raccoon though, and I think that messed with her broody knowledge since she tries to wean way too early

Yep, Golden Child is the same way.

I Have my first hen that's scary after her last egg hatch. Mine before her have never really done more than growl when I pull chicks out.

My frizzled cemani was that way too. I think I got her from the trough 3 times over the 8-10 months I had her

I know the worry of the what if. It's why I didn't get tested years ago

Nice toes

I have a single tufted hen. So a pair would be okay in that aspect. And once I seperate them from the main flock, I can always just hold back any of her tufted chicks.

Yeah. Preferably both are pullets and make it. Since I'm a bit attached to my current males. But I can make it work if one is a male. I mainly wanted some new blood from a different source, so pullets should still work for that a bit. Neither are tufted either, of course 🙄

The rest look like they quit unfortunately. I think the aircells were just not right when they went to hatch. So, fingers crossed at least one of the 2 is a girl
