    Lethargic and arched- SO HOT

    I'm sorry I didn't catch this sooner, but isn't that one in the picture a classic coccidiosis stance? Coccidiosis = tail drops Eggbound = penguin walk

    Ferragosto adopt-an-egg hatch-a-long

    Sure thing! Peach has a 100% hatch rate. IIRC this holiday comes from the Roman Empire, back then it was called Feriae Augusti.

    Ferragosto adopt-an-egg hatch-a-long

    So my serial broody Peach decided to sit for the 3rd time this season. She is a freaky unbreakable broody machine that lays for a month, sits for a month, and wean the chicks in a month, rinse and repeat. So this time I'm gonna do my first hatch a long! The eggs should hatch on August 15...

    Broody or Bust: Can You Handle a Sitting Hen?

    My serial broody Peach is just the best. She's very mean to all the hens but she let me do all I want with her and her chicks. She has a perfect 3 months cycle: 1 month lays eggs, 1 month sits on eggs, 1 month weans babies, repeat. If I don't give her enough eggs to sit on, she will collect the...
