    Moving The Broody?

    My hens usually go broody in one of only three nest boxes so I move them! Some are OK with a cardboard box and chicken wire setup in the coop while some I have to move to a rabbit hutch in the barn away from the general population. Nighttime seems to work the best as they wake up and seem to say...

Also, the males wings are more chisled and pointy than the nice round shaped female wings...thats been my experience! I wish you all the luck in the world for more...

    Quote: My Marans are just like yours....they act like Im going to pull each and every feather out one at a time! My white Marans have settled a bit after they started laying but, I would not call them lovey...I guess we are lucky and just have "special" marans!

    She's laying the wrong color!

    I didnt think I was going to like white birds( Im a nurse...I hate all things white! HeHe!). I thought they would be hawk bait but no! The ones I got are the sweetest out of all my Marans. I've got a Cuckoo Marans Cockrel who is on the auction block so to speak....interested? Sorry...no more...
