Well the White/black hen just went broody on about 8 eggs but I don't like raising chick's in the winter.
After April I will let any hen go broody on the eggs or I'll throw in a few in the incubator come May! I've stepped back from breeding much these days. Just keeping a few bantams running...
I got rid of most of the hatch but saved these 2 NN hens from the cross. Also save a silverish NN Roo from the cross. Gunna cross the hens with this white ameraucana bantam I have running around the property. One hen lays a nice blue egg, thr other is more on thr mint side. Hopefully crossing...

We have a good amount of wild cats who lurk around here too, whatever anyone wants they are welcome to it 👍 I havent seen our local armadillo in a while, we have a skunk we see/smell every few months, and a possum who eats the left over cat food almost every night... other possums and the coons...
