Hi
My name is Julie, and I raise chickens on a cattle farm in West Virginia, mainly for production of omega -3 enhanced free-range eggs for local market. At this moment, I have... 148 Leghorns, Five Buff Orpingtons, Four RI Reds, and about twenty five Dark Cornish and 16 Jersey Giant peepers in the brooders. Oh, and one BO rooster, and One BO is brooding.
I've been doing this for three years, and this is my third episode of chicken interaction. Mother raised Leghorns when I was young, and I raised RI Reds for a while when I lived down south. The Broody BO is the first time I've 'allowed' one to go/stay broody, so this is a whole new adventure...
I've lurked here occasionally when I had a puzzle to solve, and found some helpful and/or just interesting information. At this point, the broody hen experience is proving to be a cluster of problems, so... ~*~ I'm Here! ~*~
