Great ...idea patties ! Hadnt Thought of Maines ...do they have frozen or fresh ?

Frozen. When we were out of homegrown ground beef, we would pick up a box of the burgers for summer. Beats making patties by hand for a crowd.

Mcdermottm - I was lucky - I saw the signs early ( have dealt with broody hens for 5 years now) and also when she went into Jail - it was turning cold and dark - one day of jail and 3 of snow showers and dark skies seemed to do the trick ... now waiting to see if she gives an egg again soon !


Gramma - put me down for 2 bunches of spearmint and one of the flowers I am determined to have NO lawn to mow - and mint should be good for that !

I have a hen that keeps trying to go broody, but that brat won't stick to it.

 

[Metella]

Yeah - that is worse than an early broody - at least she will stick to it - and I have seen chicks do fine with an experienced momma even when the night gets frosty ....

but nothing worse than finally allowing a broody to have eggs - and have her bug out once they start developing !

Well - I have one Millie who has decided to go broody and she is quite diligent so far. The only thing is all her sisters have decided to join her! Every night I pick the other up and put them to bed, one is trying to hatch a plastic egg!

I also have 1 RIR who is broody, so I gave her a couple of Millie eggs to sit on - who knows?

My chickens think they are dying. I didn't give them last nights leftover dinner. All day they have been nasty to me. Spoiled monsters.

Picture time! These are mostly from eggs hatched from @Susieq2015. A few have a legbar dad, the white with black spots. The rest EE dad and mixed hens. I'm guessing on what the hens are. If anyone is interested in some let me know. I plan on keeping some but haven't committed yet. I'm thinking of keeping a turken and one of the greyish chicks.

Sapphires from her legbar pen

Maybe buff brahma mom...love these colors

Lots of varying shades of chipmunks. Gotta love the puffy cheeks

Black australorp?

These are EE Turkens I got from someone on BYC.

And a little buff silkie

I'm not sure on the NNs. What picture did you want?

Congrats!! I think the one on left is from the buff Brahma x EE dad but the one on the right looks like either EE/EE or EE/CL. Im betting these both turn out super pretty
