I totally want a broody dog. My standard poodle thinks chicks are squeak toys.
I can’t believe it, but that broody broke. I didn’t look last night, but she’s been out since yesterday afternoon. Then again, do you remember the girl that didn’t stay until she had chicks last year? It might be her. I won’t be giving her chicks unless she parks like a normal broody.
Yep, remember one being flakey. We have had the "commitment shy" hens once in a while. We usually make sure to pair scatterbrained broodies with dependable ones, then if she flakes out the dependable one just continues on by herself and the chicks are still tended.
The first one finally got out. 
The second is going to be a while, and a third has a tiny pip.

My white standard does too. Hens as well. I recently got a year-old black female standard who thankfully is good (at least better--I doubt she would brood!)with chickens, and my Maltese is smaller than any of my hens and I swear, can't see them!

The first group of Adam's children hatched, 4 out of 4, and no lavender ones. So the odds should be that 1 out of 4 should be lavenders, mating two splits. So far I have hatched 11 (across 3 different hatches) and only 1 has been lavender. Could the lavenders be less hardy/early quitters?
Meanwhile none of my spitzhauben have pipped, on day 21. They were put in at the same time as my other eggs that hatched.

The second baby popped out before midnight. I don’t see pips in the other three yet, but it’s definitely still early.

I may have lost my bator-full. Power went out sometime this morning, temp is already down to 89F. They’re on Day 11, about 20 eggs. Praying they’ll be ok.
