Only four more eggs to go and my 3 broody demons will be done. (Whew!) You guys on this thread have been my rock. Thank you guys so much for the support. No one else understands why I get so excited or why I panic over every little thing. So in a couple days, I'll go back to be just another...

Hard to see under all stink butt's fluff, but first one is out of its shell! I'm so excited! One down, seven to go!

I'm putting her back outside after the eggs hatch, maybe when she decides to get them out of the nest. I have a place set up for her where my over zealous new momma phoenix won't bother her. She's the reason Janet is in the house right now. I'll set her up a dust bath and see if that can tide...

How soon after a broody hatches her eggs can I bathe her? She smells absolutely horrid. She's the BO (how fitting huh?) I have sitting on pipped phoenix eggs. She is in broody jail (between my couch and aquarium) right now. She is so dedicated, but definitely not taking care of herself. I...

She is very tame. She's in broody jail right now (in a quiet corner between my couch and aquarium) for letting a hen a third her size run her off her nest daily. She will eat blue berries and black berries from my hand, but I figured that eating only that would give her the runs XP . I also...

Please send some of those people who are doing projects to my thread. I'm trying to make a place to people to learn by seeing results and reading stories. It hasn't really taken off :/ https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/895132/breeding-project-recipes-show-tell#post_13631872

My broody butt, Janet, is doing an awesome job. It's day 20, and the phoenix eggs i have under her are pipping and peeping. She is so dedicated that she has gone pale. I have food and water 2 inches from her face, but she turns her beak at it. I cooked her some rice, grits, and eggs...hopefully...

I never separate mine...except right now I have 2 broodies in the house because one abandoned eggs during a staggered hatch and the other was being bullied off of her eggs by a new mom a third her size. I think they just had too much going on (well...I had too much going on...lol). I think it...

I check mine every waking hour. They are probably sick of me. Janet is refusing her FF, but will eat black berries and blue berries (and of course, mealworms). She usually loves watermelon and strawberries, but is turning her beak at them. Wonder if it's a broody/red thing...anyway...happy...

So far, one more has pipped. Since i put her and her nest in a guinea pig cage, she has not got up. She gives me the stink eye when I go near her, but at least she is giving it a chance. The 2 3day old chicks love it. They scratch in the food and run around like crazy. Hope the rest go fast from...

broody demon has one more pipped! Finally! She hates me, but she's hatching! Thanks guys for the emotional support!

so far broody jail is working. She hates me, but she hasn't pushed the eggs out and is saying on them. Her 2 chicks love it, but she keeps giving me the stink eye. I put my broody orp between my fish tank and couch and she is in heaven...lol

I wouldn't normally float test but I got really nervous about her leaving them to cool for two days. When they hadn't pipped, I thought she killed them :( I just wanted to make sure before I just let her give up on them. I'm going to try the youtube $20 incy tomorrow. I hate having her in a cage...

:D thanks guys. I need to buy me some of that patience stuff! Lol. Im just SO nervous! I know they're alive, but wont be for long if she doesnt just sit back down.

Two down...8 to go. My silkie mutt is on day 2 of what will be a staggered hatch. She kept getting eggs laid on her (seriously...my other hens would get on top of her and lay eggs, even with 5 other nests open) and she would dutifully tuck them under her. I'm on day 16 with my other broody...

I don't ever move or separate mine personally. Momma protects and keeps them near. Just keep an eye out for signs of trouble.

FINALLY! My silkie mutt broody demon is hatching eggs! She's the one that kept letting other hen lay eggs on top of her and then dutifully tucking them under her. She wound up with 16 eggs under her, but I candled, marked, and whittled it down to ten good eggs. She has 2 pipped right...

Ok. Thanks guys! I'll try from my pc next time. For now I'll just do the durp faces :/ lol. Hijack over. :D

I don't have that:(
