Love Salmon Fav's but my one hen has never gone broody yet. Hopefully soon! Have fun with the hatch!!

I just stood some wire around my broody boxes and no one bothered either hen. They hatched a week ago and now I have opened up the wire to let the mama's bring the chicks out. It worked really well.

Aris, Our chicken house too is not very pretty -- it is an old shed that has been used for a sheep shed in the past and then a garden tool shed and now a chicken house. I bet it is about 80 years old!! We kinda remodeled it this spring so the chickens and guineas and ducks could have a larger...

Aris, Your chicken house looks so much like mine -- I have a dirt floor with lots of hay strewn around. I just went through my first hatch -- 2 hens hatched out 12 for me about a week ago --even with this heat! I cut boxes for their nests too -- actually Tyson Foods Chicken boxes which I...

You're so funny!!!

Johnn, Love that mama! I have one that looks a lot like her!

Sorry I have missed so much -- been offline for a few days with all the festivities of yesterday. Did want to show you my broody and her new little keets she hatched out on 6/30 -- so they are 5-6 days old. I finally today opened her little sectioned off area in the chicken house so she...

i was worried too but my 2 broody's did fine. We have had temps up int he 100F for a couple of weeks and heat index up as far as 115F here in Kansas. The broody's hatched out a week ago -- 12 little ones for me!

Question for you experts since this is my first hatch--------- I have two broody hens that hatched little guinea keets for me in the last few days. They each have a wire sectioned off area in the large chicken house and have plenty of room to get exercise. When the mama's want to take the...

We are just as bad!! We have had heat index up to 115F and suppose to be at 100F all week here in Kansas. But what is new for Kansas in the summer! My broody hens did finally hatch their clutches and we had a good rate of hatch even in the heat.

Funny!!! I have two broody's who start yapping at me the minute I get into the chicken house where they are with their babies! They cluck and carry on like crazy but the funniest thing is that I have a wren house hanging in the tree just outside the run and every time I go to the chicken...

Stony, Love this hen!! She is so pretty!! What is she?? Sumatra?? Don't know the breeds very well but she is gorgeous!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I need a few more hens???

What is your broody nest made of? Looks unique!

I am hoping my Salmon Fav will go broody one of these days! Although I can't complain because my other 2 broody mama's just hatched out 12 new guinea keets!!!

She looks like my Australorp who is just now hatching guinea keets for me. Found three little keets this morning but she has 15 eggs under her so hope there is more. Love the pic!!

love this pic!!! Everyone is peeking out at you!!

I can't believe it but after posting that our heat index was 115 and temps of 104 I decided to go out and check on the mama's again and give everyone cool water. What did I find but the little black Cornish broody had hatched one of the guinea keets and was off the nest and setting on the dirt...

I am still worrying about my 2 broodies -- Heat index yesterday was 115 degrees !!! They look good but I will be sure glad to see if they can hatch anything in this heat! One is due 7/4 and the other 7/7 They are eating and drinking but it sure is hot. Actual temp yesterday was 103. I...
