    Is this a splash Ameraucana?

    Broody chicken diary

    Yes, we plan to separate her, and am posting pics. But we aren't sure if we should move her & eggs now or after hatching. I'm thinking we ought to now to make it easier on us, but don't know if that will upset the whole works for her. A first time mommy for her. These are pics of current place...

    Following as well. I have a new nest I found under my porch, with 32 eggs and mama. We had found the nest about 10 days ago, and she has been sitting the whole time. So we aren't sure when her nest will hatch. Our question, for hopefully more knowledgeable folks will see these posts: Should we...

    Contagious Pate butt?

    Broody hen

    Thank you for the heads up. Do they just continue to hatch day after day, since each egg was laid a day apart? I was thinking of piling up some hay around her area to just let her be, all cozy & all, with food & water nearby. But also thinking I could move the whole kit & caboodle into a brooder...

    Broody hen

    Yes, we had 3 roosters, but 2 were so mean that they went in the freezer about 3-1/2 weeks ago. But, we still have one mild-mannered Roo, to watch over the girls. So, I believe they are fertile
