I went outside today and found that my cochin had almost no feathers left on her chest. She has been sleeping in a nesting box so i figured she was broody could this have something to do with it?
Eli, I was just about to PM you to see if you wanted any more chickens. I want to see if my eggs are fertile or not so bad. I also need to see if my uncle wants any more.
Yes my mother knows
But... my mom does seem to like the blue eggs i get from my EE so it would problably be easy to convince her to let me put a few of those under her.

Thanks for the information, I think because I'm new to inqubating eggs i will get the hovabator.

Hey if you need someone there to get your turkey and quail Im never busy. I would like to hatch some quail so if I get a bator befor next year you might be able to get your hands on them sooner. They shour do poop alot on day two huh.
