I have not purchased any new birds in several months. Our local farmers swap and stock auctions are closed for any bird sales. So my new chicks are not being sold. I built an additional outdoor pen and added netting to all my coops including covering any spots where a wild bird could gain entry...
My broody hen was insisting on sitting on unfertilized eggs so i went out to my son's ranch and grabbed a rooster.
She sat on her eggs like a champ and has been a great Mom so far but I worry (I'm new to this chicken thing).
I moved her from the coop with the eggs into an extra large dog kennel...
