    Broody Hen Thread!

    I was away for a week and came home to babies that exploded in size. My favorite in terms of personality and looks is a SFH x SF mix. She's so cute! Her siblings are also really cute, particularly a SFH x SF cockerel that's developing a snow leopard coloring and a pair of backyard Favacaunas...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    my coop/run is set up so that the chickens roost and lay eggs on a platform (removable for cleaning if necessary). All I did was to block off the area under the platform and use it as a broody area. I blocked it using plastic deer netting I had laying around. So, "downstairs" is where she and...

    Sorry to hear about your loss. It's always hard to lose one. But I'm glad she at least have you some babies! What did you do with all the extra Roos? I'm not sure what my rate is, but I'm pretty sure at least 2 of them are boys. It will be hard to tell early on because most of them are all...

    Woohoo! In total my broody hatched 7 out of 8 eggs. Then unhatched egg looked like it stop developing after about 5-7 days. The last egg to hatch almost didn't make it, as mama had to make the choice to care for her 6 already hatched babies. Every time she left the pipped egg, she'd happily...

    My 1yr old austra has not gone broody, but I don't expect her to, because she's a hatchery bird. The broody is a Swedish Flower Hen. The rooster is a Salmon Faverolles. So far she's hatched: 2 lavender Ameraucana, 1 Basque, 1 blue-egg bearded EE, 1 SFH and 1 SF (I think this was a stolen...

    Thanks! Today was day 20 of her sitting on eggs. I put 7 under her, but 3 days ago, when she left the nest, I though I counted 8! So, she either stole one or one of the hens snuck into her broody pen and laid one in there. Either way, I'm guessing #8 won't hatch due to the timing. She didn't...

    My first time with a broody! My SFH has been sitting faithfully and babies are hatching a day or 2 early! I was surprised to see one this morning when i went to give her food, and every time I go out there, there seems to be a new baby! 5 babies from what I can tell so far! 4 yellow ones and 1...

    When I went to lock up the chickens tonight after being out all day, I found my 7 month old SFH in the nest. She wouldn't get off when I shoved her and she was sitting on her egg. So, I'm assuming she's gone broody. This is my first time with a broody. I have a 6 month old SF cockerel and I'd...
