Is this the first time being broody?

SUPER cute!! Does Stan talk to the broodies? My roos do that! lol.png

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

My roo's seem to like to say that there is a "better" nest... *cough cough* A place a wedged spot where there is spiders and dirt... lol.png Other times they'll coo and SIT on the broodies. And then, sometimes they'll actually go broody!

My Nest Box Drill Sergeant does not allow such silly behavior in her coop!  lol.png  I've seen her push Stan down the ramp.

I've got you beat. Out of 40 chickens, ages 4 months to six years, NINE have gone broody. I'm running out of nest boxes for the rest to lay in. And that's not including the three that have already hatched out their chicks.

lol.png  At least I have plenty of nest boxes.  That must be why that old timer chicken breeder told me one box per hen!

wait....did you say 'cardboard' chicken.....   no,please tell me that's not her name????? gig.gif    You are my hero......

I looked at all the caged animals in the barn...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal. And I was angry."God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly, "I have done something," he replied.  "I created you."
