    Broody or eggbound?

    It took Sylvia a couple of days to stop complaining loudly that Lucy was not out and about with her...she did not like that one little bit but now she's kind of used to being by herself....I need another pullet ! Going to see if I can get one more....meanwhile Lucy has to be on "lock-out" LOL

    Broody or eggbound?

    Yes, right now there are no eggs or anything in the nesting boxes, just hay. No wonder they call them "bird brained" ! I'll try closing off the coop again now that Sylvia is done laying for today...geeesh....I hope this doesn't go on for a month ! They free range all day in the yard so, will...

    Broody or eggbound?

    I can take the nest boxes out of the coop for the day and put them back in at night I guess...or should I leave them out all together until Lucy is over it? What if Lucy decided to "hatch" the golf balls? LOL

I went to work and she was still there when I got home. I...

    Ok...so "Peaches" might be a "Petey" What do you think?

    This chicken came from a reputable lady who had ordered them and hoped to start raising them...she is also NPIP certified . They are very knowledgeable and helpful but unfortunatley, I have not had good luck with her chicks. Perhaps most of it being my fault though...anyway..I hate to give "...
