"Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

Lol she went from lowest in pecking order to now everyone wants to be her lol

Haha aww well hopefully she stays like that do any of the others have eggs?

My next eggs are patiently waiting for their turns to cook. My specialty backyard blend.

Beautiful eggs!!!! Such a pretty dozen. Oooooh, Ahhhhh.

 

[slordaz]

Maybe there's a way to make them visible to the flock?

wait until the ones in incubator hatch and get moved out, the chicks will out number the flock, gonna get some mesh for the old run so they can't get out through holes, that outta do the trick I think

Haha aww well hopefully she stays like that

do any of the others have eggs?

the Amerecuana has 6 eggs under her and the other 4 are community brooding 7 eggs lol

Got em numbered and pull anything that is new which in 3 days hasn't been an issue

They gotta be moved not enough room for her and 23 chicks in the box for long and with 5 other broodies in there everyone else is moving out, The roosters won't even go in the broodies kicked their behinds.

Just put her in a pet carrier with the chicks for nighttime. She'll be out and about with those chicks in just another day or so. They don't sit under momma for weeks. Let her do the hard work of integrating the chicks for you. Do not isolate them.

After being sick with the flu for the last however many days (I've lost count) I'm finally starting to feel better and, i went out to check on momma broody #1 (Fibro) Squee! I heard peeps!!! Momma again was fierce and went after my hand so I'm not sure of their status totally yet other than i can hear some! Heheheee

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Morning Sally. Glad your feeling better.

Whew! Chatty group! Can't remember all I just read but sounds like every one is busy.

Sally - Glad you are back among us.

Happy hatching everyone. I am still impatiently waiting for Sunday for my first candling. I hate being late to the party and seeing everyone with fluffy butts. It makes waiting harder!
