Beautiful Buff colored Cochin Rooster. 15 weeks old,: raised by hand since 1 day old. Starting to crow. Protects his ladies and looks out for them! Wanting him to go to a great home to rule the roost and live out his days!

Maryland link does not work as of Jan. 2. Thanks so much for doing this list.!

That egg looks like it was picked off an Egg Tree! Are you sure your hen laid that thing? I can see it now; all the hens in the coop agreeing not to say anything....."Don't tell anyone about the Egg Tree, and we are alive for another day!"

I have had eggs like that also! No worries!

Thank You to all that responded! I feel a bit better now! I guess I didn't realize how rough the postal service can be. I thought I was doing great by having all 14 eggs not broken upon arrival! The 3 little ones are doing well and 1st time momma is a great teacher! Again Thanks~! Lisa

Hi all, Got a question that I can't seem to find an answer to on these forums. My BA went broody and as we don't have a rooster, I bought a dozen EE eggs from the auction here. 14 eggs arrived in great condition, I placed them under my hen at night and started the countdown. She had her own...

Quote: Hi Dawng, I'm just now catching up on the posts. I'm sorry you had a hard time candeling. I was hoping you would share all your expertise!! I keep going back and forth with the idea of candeling vs. letting Momma just do her thing. I mean this IS the circle of life, right? We are...

Quote: Miss Lydia, I found this on another forum concerning wobbly legs. Maybe it might be of some help? http://www.thepoultrysite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12786 I'm sorry Momma is having a hard time and you are worried. Hopefully, she just needs to stretch out her leg...

Quote: KYChixMama, What a wonderful experience! Oh, Thanks so much for sharing. This is my first time with a broody and you've eased alot of fears! PLease get a pic of Bob... I would love to see "Bob the baby chick Sitter!" Lisa

Quote: Anna, Great Pics! Thanks for sharing. How old are the chicks? I'm sorry if you've stated before, I'm rather new here and haven't read thru all the posts. They all look like a happy family! Ernest and the Aunt don't bother the babies or Momma? Lisa

Quote: Dawng, Congratulations on your broodies. Kinda sweet that the 3rd girl is lonely and wants to be with her friends. Chickens never cease to amze me, with their antics!! I also have blue eggs to candle, and hadn't heard it being more difficult- but I can see where it would be. Let us...

Quote: -- That is hysterical! The visual on this has given me giggles all morning! Miss Lydia, hoping little wobbly chick gets her balance. Sounds like the fiestiness is getting her through! Lisa

Quote: Awww, so sweet! Sounds like they are learning to rely on each other! I'm sure things will be just fine with them! Lisa

I'm thinking Black Australope. But like I said... I'm Thinking! Edited to say: See I told you, I was thinking. I re-read your post and saw there are leg feathers. Just smack me! NOT a BA.

Hi all, I posted last week about my BA going broody. This is her first time, as well as mine! No roo's around, so I ordered a dozen fertilized EE eggs from the auction here. (they were the right price and soon to end) I had waited about 4-5 days before placing her in a small coop by...

Hi There! Welcome to Broody- hood! I suggest you take a look at this link, as it is very informative. If you have questions afterwards, ask aways! http://www.themodernhomestead.us/article/Broody-Hens-1.html Lisa

Quote: Congratulations! Wow! This is your 3rd broody? I just had my 1st go broody and I'm tickled! This is so exciting! Lisa

I believe I have my first broody!! She has been sitting in the nest box for 5 days. On day 2, I put some fake eggs under her to see if she would sit. She has been in the nest box ever since. I'm sure she comes out for food and water, as I check once a day and there is always an 'extra' egg...
