Here’s a ceramic flock I made Next, an animal other than a chicken that comes from an egg (bonus points for creativity)

Oh, I’ve got this one! I was recently in Hawaii. Not the best photo but somehow the best I took considering they were everywhere. Next: a friendly rooster

Just 2 eggs today. I’m fighting with 2 broodies now, at least one of them actually laid an egg today. Nests are closed for the night so we’ll see how they do at bedtime.

4 out of probably 6 laying. You’ll never guess what ANOTHER one of my hens decided to do. If you said go broody, you’d be correct! The third broody in 10 days.

5 out of 6 today, but now my darn cuckoo marans is going broody! It’s possible the 6th girl will still lay today but I closed off the nest boxes early to keep the cuckoo out.

My hen did recover from the toenail, though unfortunately she recently passed from an illness.

3 out of 6 today.

6 out of 6 before noon!

Just 2 today. My two Easter eggers are doing really well, everyone else is slacking a little.

It appears we have a winner! It’s still on after leaving her alone all night!

3 today. I had to leave the chickens in the pen this morning instead of letting them free range so I could run to town so they weren’t very happy.

I found some of that self adhering wrap stuff that’s made for dogs that chew, it’s supposed to taste bad to deter them. I also got some no chew spray to try as well.

Well that didn’t work as well as I had hoped. I’m going to town today, I’ll grab a few different things to try that we don’t have here.

She doesn’t seem to know what to think but the sock is working

I’d call that 5 out of 7 then. Makes your ratio look better.

6 out of 6! Broody is still somewhat broody, but we’re getting there.

Thanks everyone, I’m getting lots of good ideas and advice! I’ll try using a sock tonight and see if that keeps her from licking it overnight. Until then I’ll just keep it bandaged like I have been since that’s been working during the day.

Unfortunately a cone is not an option. I’m unable to go to town today, it’s over an hour drive away. That, and this dog would be so stressed out if I put her in a cone, it wouldn’t be a good option for her.

Thanks! This seems like something that could work. I’ll have to see if we have anything like that in the house already, I’m unable to go to town today.

I’ll try that, thanks!
