    Is Etta Sick or Broody?

    My sweet Etta has been laying almost everyday for the past 2 months, and for the past 2 days she has been sitting in her nesting box, rarely venturing out.

    I am a new Chicken mom in NC (new to Chickens, AND my chicks are fairly new) I purchased 2 Silkie Bantams and 2 RIR two weeks ago and it was estimated they were a week old then.

    Proud NEW Chicken mommy from NC

    I am just 1 week in to my new Chicken experience and I wonder how I ever lived without them! I bought 4 chicks, 2 Bantams and 2 Rhode Island Reds as my egg laying pets. So far, so good, and everyone that sees them falls in love as quickly as I did. (Others just think I was crazy) Looking...
