What a good momma! Great pictures too! Yeah baby chicks!!!

Everything ok? We'll be nice if DW forgot the camara, just give us an update.

Can't wait! Keep the updates coming. I'm on the west coast so even though I won't be staying up all night my midnight will be pretty close to that for you. I really hope all continues to go well for you. I've really been enjoying this thread and hope your DW remembers the camera tomorrow. I'm...

I'm using Iams kitten food that I had leftover from the last batch of bottle kittens I raised. It's premium pate gourmet chicken flavor..... I don't think it matters though, she ate some of the Kirkland canned dog food too, that was liver flavored I think. Just make sure to get the blended...

Try some canned cat food if you have any. I have a hen in chicken ICU (large dog crate in son's bedroom) right now. I thought she might have cocci, but she's been on corid for 3 1/2 days and isn't any better..not worse though. Anyhow, she's not eating well. Won't take pellets at all and only...

That's what happens when my kids want ice cream before I finish typing a post. Too funny!

Quote: I think it is. Like I've said before, I'm hatching vicariously thru this thread because none of mine have went broody and stayed that way yet. I've read about it quite a bit though and while some seem to do better then others huge weight loss isn't uncommon. She might be having a...

Quote: ? Is that a good hummmmmm or a bad one? I saw the cranky mamma pic you posted, she's starting to look fierce. Hope everything is still ok.

If she's drinking enough water that you can do it I'd just go ahead and worm her. 1. You won't have to worry about a withdrawl period. 2.The eggs are under her not in so no worries about the chicks. 3.Since she's not eating as much while on the nest it's even more important that nothing is...

Quote: I haven't got to hatch eggs yet, but everything I've read so far indicates you shouldn't. It seems like most people don't candle any more then every 5 days if that often, and not at all after day 18 or so. That being said you have a broody hen and not an incubater that you have to...

Yeah swimchick!

Oh my, I think you need video of that. A chicken throwing a poopy hissy fit. The mind boggles! Sounds like it's all working out well for you. I'm glad she's being such a good mommy. It gives me hope that at least on of my three Australorps will hatch out a clutch for me next year. When are you...

I saw a post awhile back where they had taken a desk lamp with the moveable neck (sorry, brain dead tonight and I can't think of the name) cut a slit in a box so they could put it in the bottom (upside down box) with the bulb facing up. I belive they used a 100 watt bulb and made a hole in the...

Outstanding! It seems like I saw a thread the other day where they were looking for hatch buddies who had a hatch date on/around Halloween. You might want to get in on that, more fun when everybody can compare notes In the meantime keep the updates coming, I love broody/hatching threads...

Like another poster said, do it at night if you can. I'd also cover her new home for a day or so after you move her and leave her with the ceramic eggs for a couple of days. I had to move my BR (nesting under the car trailer) and she wouldn't sit tight on the eggs afterward. She'd stay on for a...
