    Broodies on eggs? Broodies with babies? Post here.

    So anyway - I am still sitting with 6 broodies on eggs, but it looks like they are all bad or mostly bad. The broodies kept trading off nest so I'm not sure if that is what did it or some other factor like the cold at night. The eggs look mostly developed and we did have one chick hatch, but the...

    I'm very pleased with my broody! She has two chicks that hatched last night and early morning and is still sitting tight on the last two eggs. One of those is finally pipped and the other one is pipped internally. The two lil hatched rascals escape from under her and she just gently calls them...

    Mine is already in the house - but actually was planning on taking them outside to the coop. From what I have read the mom will keep them warm. It not like summer here but I think the worst of winter has passed. (knocking on wood) I pulled the baby out to llok at it in daylight. One other egg...

    Yay! Our broody serama so far has one chick out and she is clucking quietly at it. It looks to be fathered by our showgirl - not because it got the NN gene but it has a domed silkie head. It's blue so that must mean its mom is (silkie X cochin)X frizzled cochin. Dang it now how am I gonna...

    My cochins cluck quietly to themselves all the time while they are sitting (so far) One of the three frizzles who was sharing a nest gave up after two weeks. She is spending sometime on the nest but more than 50 % of the day is spent outside. She went two weeks before giving up. I think its...

    These are my millies - two are broody, two just wanted to use that box. I have given up with now SEVEN broodies I just marked and gave them all some eggs then remove the ones that aren't marked. We made 4 semi-private boxes and now everyone wants in those instead of where they used to nest...

    Do you have other hens laying in her nest? Or did she start sitting on some and then you added more?

    I am now up to 6 broodies. The frizzles are co-nesting (sort of). I hope the two that started later will be content when the eggs hatch before three weeks for them. They went broody about 5 days later than the first one.

    Is it OK to remove the ones that aren't developing? Or does that stress the mama hen out? I realize they can't count but maybe the eggs "feel" a certain way under her?

    Ok I have one stubborn serama broody in my daughters clsoet on day 7 and now my goofy looking frizzle cochin is sitting on some eggs in the coop on day two. Ironically I thought the cochin was a roo for the longest time and she is the first of the "younger" birds to go broody. I'm hoping it...
