and olivia and the babies are with the flock now...she is handling raising them different- she hasn't let them out of the run at all, and keeps a tight watch, last time she was always losing them- so i guess she has learned... the white one almost looks like a rumpless, but has tiny feathers

man now i have a dilemma!! Joe's girl Josie (seramas)has gone broody, i have some serama eggs in the bator... so do i shift them over to her....???? she seems to have chronic broody syndrom! if i do, then it means poor joe will be by himself again, sigh... poor guy, he can't sneeze without her...

here are a few pics of the chicks, gave them to the silkie to hatch since she'd gone broody- - anyway one is still in the bator, not sure what is going on with it, and one pipped and died, what causes that?

yep, she is a first time mom, and felt bad she was sitting out in those 3 digit temps- i had tried before but she didn't want to set in anything but the regular box, so when i did this morning i carried her and the box in, i think that made the difference

this morning the hatch began- and i came up with an idea- bring staypuff in with her box and see what she does with an egg that had just pipped- well, she stood there and listened, looked at the bator with 3 babes cheeping and then back and forth a few times...back at the egg and settled down, i...

licorice, my cochin broody from heck hatched out 2 eggs from boaz and ginger his oegb hen, although i don't think they are serama, possibly leftover from her previous home- i set these eggs a week after putting her in with boaz, the serama roo

well, licorice the broody from heck has gone broody again, so i stuck her in the bathroom with 2 eggs due to hatch thursday... seramas, so she won't be sitting in the heat...sheesh!

looks like the weather is finally going to cool down this week, so i am going to either oxine the coop or vinegar it- one will kill the bacteria and the venegar will kill the mites... i have to girls wanting to be broody, not letting them this time of year- so collecting eggs a couple times a...

i love your description!! i am sure they hear them, maybe minute chirps- wonder what that chick said that made her jump up??

dragon the nn bantam went broody, so i took one of the eggs from the other broody due to hatch in a couple days, and she got this baby.... she is a ferocious mom...will take on anyone that looks at that baby

mine seem to bounce back pretty quick, the one that lost her chick is running with the 'younger' crowd- the other one that lost one of her chicks but still has 2 doesn't seem to remember...

well, i pulled all eggs from the broodies, checked them and none were good, they had started but i think too many mama breaks and hens fighting for the nest- felt so sorry for them- panting in the heat and one is still determined to hatch imaginary eggs...:( of all of them, Jewel seems to have...

i don't think it would hurt her to sit fake eggs- i had a broody that the first eggs didn't hatch, so i gave her another set- so she actually sat 5-6 weeks rather than 3

here is a fun one from a friend:: Quote:

she is a golden laced wynodotte, and i am really impressed by how she is caring for these chicks, the other mama is an easter egger, and she is always losing track of where they are, and took her days with my intervention to teach the chicks to go up the ramp- would go in and she'd have one...

i usually date the eggs, that way if someone sneaks another egg in there, its not a big issue- my current problem is hens being clumsy and smashing eggs! i've lost 2 in the last week that were close to hatch... meanwhile- and look at Jewel, the once was paralyzed pullet is an awsome mama-...
