Is anyone going to Blanchard with fertile eggs? I've got another broody and she is building a nest and growling. So I am on the hunt again. I live just south of Norman...so if there is anyone close that would be great or I can meet you if your close.
Yeh no kidding! is it in the water lol Holy moly...it's like they are dominoing over night...and I wouldn't be surprised if a couple more don't go broody too....I don't have enough nest boxes for everyone! LOL
Well looks like I might have to get some more fertile eggs. My broodies rir friend has went broody and stole two of the others eggs lol and they are sitting next to eachother lol dangit. Didn't know that one would cause another to go broody. Sigh...I will go out tonight and see if she is still...
