Miss L they are adorable. Congrats!

luckily I have a few dozen more Sumatra hens

and now there are 3 broody's. All Blue Sumatra's. It has begun . This will cut my hatching egg sales down as they all take turns going broody.

a 2nd blue hen sat today as well. She is a young one. 1 year old. She is in a safe spot. If she is still sitting tomorrow she will also get some eggs. Just not as many as Mama. Mama is a seasoned pro. It has begun. The broody Sumatra madness has started

the cats didn't use it anymore. My wife was going to throw it out. But to me it looked like a Sumatra nest. I was right

yup

mark them with a second mark if they fall out. This way you can get an idea if they fall out again if it is on purpose

if they fall out mark them somehow special. If the same eggs are out again a different day chances are she is kicking them out for a reason. If it is different eggs each time then she is just clumsy.

why? just tuck them back under her

it's official. "Mama" my best broody Sumatra is broody in a safe spot. In her favorite nest. She got up 1st thing this morning to eat and drink and I gave her a dozen fresh Sumatra eggs. this is her on one of her 4 broods last year. Same nest. She raised 15 happy healthy Sumatra...

looks like I finally get to join the thread for the year. My best Broody "Mama" had to be broken of her broodiness about 3 weeks ago as she was in an unsafe spot. Tonight she is on her favorite nest in the "Sumatra broody shed" at lockup. If she sits all day tomorrow she gets fresh eggs. Mama...

that has not been my experience. Miss Penelope is the best mom a duckling could ask for.

congrats!

Miss Penelope, the Runner mom pictured taking a bath lays a blueish egg. Her offsprings eggs aren't as blue but are getting bluer. They have only been laying a few weeks now.

a close up of one of my Fawn and White Runner Drakes. He had a wound that needed cleaning and NUSTOCK so I took advantage and held him for a photo op . Here are a few other pics of my favorite birds

not yet. I give them a month. I'm getting 4 to 5 eggs a day from them so I assume all 9 are laying. I laugh every morning now as I'm letting out the ducks. 100 feet behind me wild black ducks and mallards are swimming, quacking, grunting and doing the funky duck . Gets my girls going . Those...

always good to see you Miss L. You seem to live in the duck and goose section

1) I don't. Mom and babies live with the flock 2) If I candle at all it is around day 14. Broody's know what they are doing and kick out dud eggs most often. Waiting on my 1st broody of the year. Any day now. Last year I stopped counting broody's at 25
